Rewrait

Rewrait is an English writing rewriting tool for non-native English speakers, with the core goal of making your English sound as natural as what a native English-speaking colleague would write. It is not just a general grammar checker; it corrects expressions that are grammatically correct but read like word-for-word translations, or that have a tone that is too direct or too formal.

Purpose The official positioning is to help users write more idiomatic English in Slack, Gmail, Teams, Notion, browser input boxes, or anywhere editable text exists. It emphasizes solving the problem of "grammatically correct, but still stiff-sounding," such as word-for-word translation, misuse of word meanings, too-direct tone, or being overly formal for chat contexts.

Main capabilities

• Rewrite after selecting text with a shortcut: ⌘⇧P on Mac, Ctrl⇧P on Windows; the shortcut is customizable.
• Side-by-side review: shows the original and the rewritten version at the same time, and you can edit, retry, or replace the original text.
• Instant rewrite: skips the preview and replaces the text in one step with the default style, with undo available to restore the original text.
• Tone variants: you can request a warmer, shorter, or more direct version (officially listed as a Pro feature).
• Format preservation: names, numbers, links, @mentions, and list formatting stay as they are; only the wording changes.
• Voice input: you can dictate in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, or English, choose the style to write in English, or keep only the transcript; voice uses sample drafts, no microphone required.
• Draft Reply: open the email or chat you need to reply to, run the feature, and Rewrait reads what is on screen and writes a reviewable reply.
• Multiple writing entry points: you can write or paste content in Rewrait's own editor, rewrite it, and then insert or copy it back to the original place.
• Style settings: Auto automatically chooses the style based on the app and message, and can also remember the choice for each app; supports saving custom styles, or copying from a community style library.
• Learning corrections: when you modify a result, Rewrait suggests a rule for next time; learning is off by default and must be turned on manually, each rule requires confirmation, and only rules are stored, not your text.
• Multi-step workflows (Pro): you can chain steps such as translating into English, shortening, and softening the tone into a single shortcut.
• Team features: you can share styles, and have the team follow tone guidelines and support policies from Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs.

How to use

1. Create an account and install the desktop app on a Mac or Windows computer.
2. Select the text you wrote in any app.
3. Press the correspondingShortcut keys (Mac ⌘⇧P / Windows Ctrl⇧P).
4. Compare the original draft with the rewritten result, edit as needed, and then replace the original text. The Mac installation process is: open Rewrait.dmg, drag Rewrait into the Applications folder, open the app to sign in or create a free account, and grant permissions so it can replace the selected text.

Use cases

• The free plan includes 30 rewrites per month, up to 1000 characters each time, including beginner and personal styles, and community styles.
• Pro provides unlimited rewrites (subject to fair use rate limits), up to 10000 characters each time, advanced AI models, tone variants, and more.
• Each new account defaults to a 14-day full-feature trial, no credit card required, after which the free plan remains, with no automatic charges.

Privacy statement The official statement says that text is processed only when rewrites are run, Rewrait and its AI providers will not use your text to train models, and rewrite history is off by default and must be manually enabled by you.

Other notes The official information compares it with ChatGPT: a chat window is suitable for one long email, while twenty short messages sent every day can slow you down if you frequently switch windows to copy and paste.
