@albert43 Do you plan to make it for Windows?
@tetiana_hryshmanovska Yes, but I would need early adopters to test it. I personally work on a Mac, so unfortunately, I cannot test it properly. Are you interested?
@albert43 yes, sure, I will. where can I register to be an early tester?
@tetiana_hryshmanovska I have not created a wishlist for it yet, but you can email me at rephrase.contact@gmail.com, and when it's ready, I will send you the Windows version to test, if you are interested. 🙌
I like one of those tools that dissolves into my workflow — in the best way.
That “select → shortcut → result” flow is so intuitive.
Are you considering adding tone presets for different SNS channels?
For people who switch between multiple platforms, it could be really useful.
@hee323 thanks! Beauty is that you can add any preset you like and hotkey too, so you can trully adapt it to your needs.
@albert43 Got it! that’s actually even better than what I think.
I’ll play around with custom presets and see what flow works best for me.
Thank u for quick reply!
What's the business model? I wonder how you sustain a huge userbase after they've run the program long enough to make it spend the amount of credits matching the software value. Is it hosted locally?
@turtletop
Great question. It connects to Google's Gemini Flash (Cloud) because it’s much faster and higher quality than running a heavy local model on your Mac.
On Sustainability (The Math):
The business model works because API costs are plummeting. The cost of intelligence has dropped over 90% in the last year alone. At current rates, a single lifetime purchase comfortably covers years of heavy daily usage for the average user.
On Sustainability (The Philosophy):
Honestly, I am just tired of "Subscription Fatigue." It feels like every new To-Do app wants to charge the same monthly price as Netflix.
That pricing makes sense for big corps with 1,000 employees and fancy offices. But I’m an indie dev. I don't have that overhead. I don't need to squeeze $15/month out of you forever to keep the lights on.
@steven_recinos Hey, thanks for sharing. That sounds odd. I have installed Comet and Dia, and it worked fine, but it might be that global hotkeys are just conflicting. I was testing, for example, with Shift + Cmd + S and Shift + Cmd + R.
Can you please share, if you have time, one specific case that does not work? Maybe it's a specific website or part of the browser, like the side assistant chat you are trying to edit text in, or any website?
I would gladly debug it, and I'm sorry for the experience :(
@steven_recinos i have made a small update that might help, would be super happy if you can update current version and see if it help! 🙌
@albert43 Hey, I apologize for the month-long delay. When I first tried it, the application was very buggy on certain browsers. I confirmed there were no conflicting hotkey overlaps before writing my initial post. The tool would occasionally work, then other times it just wouldn't, even after I switched to different hotkeys. Since that small update, I revisited the application again, and everything now works perfectly, so I purchased it. It would be great to have some sort of templates or a community page to share different use cases. That's just an idea. I used the tool to fix minor grammar mistakes while writing this message, and I also created a template for translating English to Spanish. Great job! I am excited to see what else you can add or create for future projects. It certainly saves me from constant back and forth.
I neglected to mention in my initial post that I tried it on Dia's homepage and with certain websites such as Lovable. I created a hotkey to improve my prompt. I then tried ChatGPT, but that also did not work. After switching to Comet, it behaved similarly. It would only work correctly on occasion, but now everything is functional!
can i custom the command + to something else?
@joeasaprap absolutely and prompt too, to personalise how you wish.
@albert43 Sweet! Checking it out!
@joeasaprap thanks let me know what do you think, please!
This is a BYOK model?
@mattbinder i will release byok when i go open source, its on the roadmap start of the next year if i will get interes from the people ;)
@albert43 Wait...so your offer includes credits? What are the monthly limits?
@mattbinder it’s lifetime deal no limits
@albert43 Heads up. Your checkout page is in Sandbox mode.
@mattbinder @albert43 that's awesome to respect the user's privacy!
Congrats on the launch! Love how this solves the exact context-switching tax most of us just accept as normal. What made you choose Cmd + . as the core trigger?
@vik_sh Thank you! You can set any hotkey combinations you want for each text-changing prompt you create, so everything is fully customizable.
