Compose enhances your writing instantly with a single keyboard shortcut. Unlike browser extensions, it works system-wide in every app. Turn basic notes into polished essays, fix emails in seconds, and never switch between apps again. Your writing, elevated.

Love it! I share the same frustration. I built one myself too: https://smartkeys.so/ for iOs and Mac, but yours is definitely more beautiful. Good luck!

@diegodottac I love the very RizzGPT style marketing on iOS 😂 Very Gen Z very teen centric design

@aayushbuilds LOL, yeah. Stepping out of my comfort zone and trying to make some funny videos. I think the market is being the most challenging part when it comes to these products.
I was also curious why you launched this app on the Mac App Store instead of as a standalone .dmg file. I did the same and I'm not sure it was the best approach. I had to come up with some workarounds to transform text in other apps, which I'm not exactly proud of :p

Why Mac App Store instead of DMG is a nice question.
TLDR;
I know
Review process is painful and frustrating
Apple takes 30% cut despite my razor thin margins
But users benefit from App Store Release, that's the only reason why.

Like you, I am genuinely frustrated by Apple and its review process, in fact there's an update for compose that makes Chat a much nicer experience and it's in "Review" not Reviewing not Waiting for review but in REVIEW process for the last 3 days.
I even took it out and added back in to see if it was bugged. Nope they are painfully slow
But I genuinely believe that it's much better for users when they can install and pay/manage billing through the App Store rather than through (Stripe or Gumroad).
Again, this is definitely a stupid decision, and you should try to maximize profit and also try to avoid the Apple review process (use stripe, use third party payment when you can, I am just dumb)
Again, I want to give users the best experience possible, even if that means I have to argue with Apple, get my share or profits taken, so be it. I don't care about profits as much as I care about people (or even myself)

maybe my decision is stupid, but I always build for my dad, I want my dad to be able to manage/ cancel his subscription at a glance, be able to transfer purchases seamlessly across devices and not worry about which license key to add where.
You know, the goal is never to take money from my him but to empower him with great tools.
A little cut here and there does hurt me, monetarily it's bad decision maybe even as a developer it's bad, but I make products based on emotions not pure logic
Instant writing enhancements are a game-changer! 👍

Yes that's exactly why I made it the default feature.

Super clean execution — love how Compose feels native and lightweight, not bloated like so many writing tools out there. Curious: how do you handle syncing across devices or backing up drafts? Feels like something I'd want to write in daily. Congrats on the launch! 📝🚀

@patpijanowski Thank you for the kind words, I love tuning every knob to make compose feel efficient and native.
Right now there's no cloud sync because nothing users create is stored on a server (by design)
but I'd be more than happy to add a local import/export feature if people want

Such a smart idea. Bringing LLM power system-wide with just a shortcut is a real workflow upgrade — no more copy-paste limbo. Love the privacy-first stance too. Definitely giving it a spin.
Thank you for this! I'm trying this out, and some feedback.
- Please turn off the sound when the app launching, or volume down, i felt that a bit loud.
- When to Enable Accessibility, after clicking Open Settings, there are no the compose app in the settings page. (should I add it manually?)
Anyway congrats!
@aayushbuilds Love trying this. Had a couple of questions and, unfortunately, failed to find any working way to send you a message...
The sounds at the beginning broooo
I love 'em
Feedback: when I wanted to give Compose permission the app was blocking the permission screen.
