How it works
One shortcut. Any app.
Select text or start from nothing. Pick an action. Here’s what that looks like.
Real workflows
Save a prompt once. Use it everywhere.
Random test email
No text selected? No problem. Click your ‘Random email’ chip on an empty field. A realistic address appears in place. The saved prompt already knows the format.
Make your prompts work harder
About to send a vague prompt to your AI? Select it first. One click, and you get a structured, specific version — before you even hit send. AI for your AI.
Understand what your tools say
Claude Code is talking about mutex-guarded semaphores? Select the confusing term, click Explain. A plain-English definition appears instantly. Works in any terminal, any read-only output, any PDF.
Notes in, ticket out
Select the messy paragraph from your meeting notes. Get a clean title, description, and acceptance criteria — ready to paste into Jira. One click, every time.
Why not just copy-paste into AI?
Same AI. Fewer steps.
You get the same result. ElastoType just removes the app-switching, copy-pasting, and prompt-writing in between.
Universal
Works in every Mac app.
From users
After the first week.
This is what AI should have been from the start. Not another chat window — just select, fix, done. I don’t even think about it anymore, it’s just part of how I work now.
Genuinely can’t go back. Every email I send goes through my ‘rewrite professionally’ prompt now.
“The idea is so simple it’s almost annoying nobody did this sooner. Select text, get AI. That’s it. That’s the whole thing.”
“It’s just comfy to use for everyday stuff. Fixing typos, rewriting messages, running snippets — one click and done.”
“Showed it to my team and now three of us use it. The saved prompts thing is lowkey genius.”
“I just like that it works everywhere. Slack, Notes, Chrome — same shortcut, same popup. Really well made.”

FAQ
How does it work?
▾Download ElastoType. Select any text in any Mac app — a popup appears automatically. Pick an action (Fix, Rewrite, Translate, or your saved prompts). The result replaces your text in place. You can also shake your mouse to open the popup without selecting anything.
Do I need an API key?
▾Not required. ElastoType works immediately with 100 free actions per month — no setup needed. But if you want unlimited usage or a specific model, you can bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Groq. Keys are stored securely in macOS Keychain.
What apps does it work in?
▾Any Mac app where you can select text. Slack, VS Code, Chrome, Mail, Notion, Figma, Terminal, iMessage, WhatsApp — over 50 apps and counting. If you can highlight text in it, ElastoType works there.
Is my data private?
▾Yes. Your text is processed securely and never stored on our servers. All history and saved prompts stay on your Mac. We never log keystrokes or read your screen.
How is this different from using AI directly?
▾With any AI tool, you switch apps, paste text, write a prompt, wait, copy the result, and switch back. ElastoType appears automatically when you select text — right where you are. You click one button and the result replaces your text in place. No app switching, no copy-paste. 6 steps vs 2.
