Benefits

Small but powerful.

Works anywhere

Select text in Mail, Notes, Slack, a browser, or almost any macOS app. Natify reads the selection and replaces it in place.

Keeps rich text

When your selection has lists, bold, underline, strikethrough, or links, Natify tries to preserve the formatting on paste.

Choose how you sound

Keep it casual and natural with Natify, make it formal with Professional, or use Polish for a light touch.

One shortcut away

Rewrite selected text instantly, then keep working without switching apps or breaking your flow.

Q&A

Any questions?

Is Natify free?

Natify is currently in beta and is completely free to use. The app is limited to 200 rewrite calls per day to protect the service from abuse. This is enough even for active daily use. There will always be a free usage limit available, but because AI rewriting is costly to run, you should expect paid plans in the future.

Where does my data go?

Your text is not stored, logged, or persisted in any other way. The app calls a backend service that enforces usage limits, lets Natify switch providers when needed, and handles the essential service logic behind the app. It acts as a proxy for LLM providers without storing your data. Natify uses well-known, industry-leading providers located in the US and EU.

Can Natify work entirely on my Mac?

A fully local mode is in active development. Not every Mac can run a capable local LLM, and current small models do not yet produce fixes as reliably as cloud-based models. Natify may offer local mode only on supported Macs at first, and it will be released as soon as it meets the same quality bar.

Why does it need Accessibility access?

Natify needs macOS Accessibility permission to read the selected text, listen for the global shortcut, and replace the selection in the frontmost app.

Can I audit how Natify works?

Yes. The macOS app and server-side backend are both open source for public review, so anyone can audit the server-side code.
