Frequently Asked Questions
What is RewriteCmd and what does it do?
RewriteCmd is a macOS menu bar application by Hyperstack Studio that rewrites text directly inside any macOS application. Users select text, press a keyboard shortcut, and the selected text is rewritten in place using Claude, OpenAI, or Mistral APIs via the user's own API keys. It requires macOS 13 Ventura or later and supports both Apple Silicon and Intel processors.
How much does RewriteCmd cost?
RewriteCmd offers three tiers. The free plan includes basic rewriting with one custom instruction. Pro costs $10 per month with five custom instructions and priority support. Business costs $20 per month with unlimited instructions and team features. All plans allow unlimited rewrites using your own API key, so AI compute costs are billed directly by your chosen provider.
What are the main features of RewriteCmd?
RewriteCmd's main features are system-wide keyboard shortcut rewriting that works in any macOS app, support for Claude, OpenAI, and Mistral via bring-your-own-key, custom rewrite instruction presets, macOS Keychain storage for API credentials, and a menu bar native interface with no dock icon.
Is RewriteCmd free to use?
RewriteCmd has a free plan that includes basic rewriting with one custom instruction preset. You still need to provide your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Mistral, which will incur separate API usage charges based on how much text you rewrite.
What are the best alternatives to RewriteCmd?
The main alternatives on macOS are PopClip with AI extensions (one-time purchase, $5 for the app plus extensions), TextSoap (text cleanup tool), and using Raycast's AI extension. On a browser, Grammarly and LanguageTool offer inline rewriting without API key management. RewriteCmd differentiates through universal macOS app compatibility and Keychain security.
Who is RewriteCmd best for?
RewriteCmd is best for Mac power users who write across many applications simultaneously, including developers using VS Code, Slack, and email tools, and knowledge workers who want AI rewriting without browser extensions or context switching. It is not suited for Windows or Linux users, or users who prefer a simple subscription without managing API keys.
Does RewriteCmd have an API?
RewriteCmd itself does not expose an API. It connects to third-party APIs (Claude, OpenAI, Mistral) using your credentials. The application is a client-side macOS tool rather than a platform that other applications can integrate with.
