Hey! I'm not a native English speaker, so my writing isn't always perfect. At some point, my most-used prompt for AI became "rewrite this text, fix all mistakes, and make it sound natural." However, the process of opening a chat, asking for a rewrite, then copying and pasting back into Slack took too long. I wanted a quicker solution. So I created an app for myself that rewrites any selected text with a simple Control+R.
It runs in the menu bar and offers a subscription option. Alternatively, you can use your personal API keys for your preferred AI provider and pay them directly, paying fraction of what other writing apps ask for.
@michael_vavilov Hi! Grammarly is amazing product, but it didn't quite fit my workflow:
1. I'm not a native speaker, so I need a tool that can improve my writing overall, not just fix mistakes, or suggest three options of how to change it. I have no idea, they all sound the same to me. I just need something that will make me sound better without changing the intent and the ideas I'm trying to communicate.
2. Grammarly needs me to pay attention and think about every change it suggests. I need something that will just fix the text without me having to think about it.
3. And also, as @vovaflame said, it's just cheaper. I'm not trying to make it an all-in-one writing app; it's a tool that helps with one simple thing and should be priced accordingly. Grammarly charges $12/month if you pay annually, and $30 if monthly. Scraib costs $4/month (or around that based on Apple's pricing tiers) You could even unlock a feature for $10 once to use your own API keys for whatever AI you prefer, and then pay them directly.
@masump yeah! exactly. I need text to be fixed, so that I can continue working on whatever I am working on at the moment. Without 'three options', suggestions, or additional actions.
This is so good @alikimovich I'm constantly jumping between apps to rewrite stuff and it's annoying. Finally something that just works where I need it without all the hassle.
@chilarai hello and thank you! it actually does. Also it's important to say that it has access only to selected text that you actually want to rewrite, and nothing else.

I've been using this tool since its alpha soft launch. Even now, I'm rewriting this text with Scraib. It's really worth it.

@vovaflame Thanks for going through all the betas with me! I really appreciate your support.
What advantage does Scraibapp have over Grammarly, for example?
Btw, the examples on the demo are hilarious!

@michael_vavilov at least 10x cheaper
@vovaflame fair point!

@mi_mark thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you like it ❤️
What I love most is that it doesn’t try to be a full writing app.
