WunderType for Mac

Correct, rewrite, and refine your text in any Mac app with a keyboard shortcut, powered by on-device AI, no account required.

$8.99
In English
Version 1.5.3

WunderType overview

WunderType is a lightweight menu-bar companion that fixes and rewrites your writing in any app on your Mac. Select some text, press ⌘⇧G, and it's replaced in place — grammar corrected, tone adjusted, done. No copy-pasting into a chatbot, no switching windows.

It works virtually everywhere the macOS Accessibility API can read a selection: Mail, Slack, Notes, Pages, Safari, Chrome, VS Code, and almost every other native or browser app.

Five modes in the box
  • Correct Grammar (⌘⇧G) — fix spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
  • Improve Writing (⌘⇧I) — clearer, tighter, better phrasing.
  • Make Concise (⌘⇧C) — cut the fluff.
  • Make Formal (⌘⇧F) — professional tone.
  • Make Casual (⌘⇧K) — relaxed, friendly tone.

Plus unlimited custom prompts — write an instruction in plain English and WunderType tunes it into a reusable shortcut.

Your AI, your terms
Choose how the AI runs — and switch any time:
  • On-Device (recommended) — runs directly on your Mac's GPU via Apple's MLX framework. No install, no API key, no account, fully offline after a one-time model download. Pick from four models (Gemma 3 1B, Granite 2B, Phi-4 Mini, Gemma 3 4B). Requires Apple Silicon.
  • Ollama — free, open-source, 100% local. Traffic never leaves localhost.
  • OpenAI — bring your own key for frontier models (GPT-4.1, GPT-4o). Direct request, no middleman.
  • OpenRouter — hundreds of models (Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral) through one key.
Private by desing
  • No accounts, no sign-up, no telemetry.
  • With On-Device or Ollama, your text never leaves your Mac.
  • API keys are stored encrypted in the macOS Keychain — never in plain text, never synced by us.
  • Sandboxed menu-bar app (~20 MB) with no background daemons — it only wakes when you press a shortcut.

What's new in version 1.5.3

A stability and performance release — lighter on battery and memory, quicker to respond, and more careful with your data. No new features; everything you already use just runs better.

  • Lighter on battery — cloud providers (OpenAI and OpenRouter) now check their connection far less often in the background, with an instant status refresh the moment you open the menu.
  • Lower memory use — On-Device AI now releases its model from memory automatically when your Mac runs low, then reloads it on your next correction.
  • Your clipboard stays private — while a correction runs, the temporary clipboard contents are marked private so clipboard-manager apps don't record your text.
  • More reliable API keys — saving an API key is now safer, with no moment where it could be lost, and WunderType tells you if a save ever fails.
  • Snappier menu — the menu bar menu and your custom prompts open faster.
  • Cancellable downloads — you can now stop an On-Device model download that's in progress
