Benefits

Built for rewriting text in the flow of real work.

1

Works anywhere

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

2

Three rewrite styles

Choose Polish for light fixes, Natify for natural phrasing, or Professional for a more formal version.

3

Keeps rich text

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

4

Stays out of the way

No Dock icon and no document window. Natify lives in the menu bar with settings for shortcut, login, access, and updates.

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.

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.
