Fineword for Mac

Say it once. Get your answer.

Long, hedged messages get skimmed, and you end up chasing the reply. Fineword turns what you type in Slack, Mail and most Mac apps into the short, clear message people answer. It does the same for what your AI tools send under your name.

Why it matters

People judge your thinking by your writing.

The people who decide your raise, your grade or your renewal mostly meet you in a text field. When the ask sits under three sentences of preamble, they skim it, and you wait.

You get your answer

The ask comes first and the message reads in seconds, so the reply is a yes, a no or a date. No follow-up, no "just bumping this".

You come across as the clear one

Every message looks like you thought it through. People notice who is easy to read, and they bring that person the work that matters.

You send it sooner

No third reread and no pasting into a chatbot. Write it as it comes, accept the edit and move on.

How it works

You keep typing. The edit is waiting when you pause.

Fineword works inside the app you're already in. There's nothing to copy, paste or switch to.

  1. Works where you type

    Slack, Mail, Notes or your browser. Pause, and a small indicator appears beside your text.

  2. See every word it changed

    Cut words are struck through. New words sit on green. Amber marks the phrases that read as AI.

    Hi team, I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to follow up on can we finalize the launch checklist

  3. Accept with a shortcut

    Press ⌃⌥P to open the rewrite and ⌃⌥↩ to put it in place of your text. Press esc to keep what you wrote.

The difference

Same message. This one gets an answer.

The ask moves to the first sentence and 16 words of hedging go. Nothing you meant is lost.

Hi team, I think we should probably try to get the launch checklist done by Thursday if we can, because otherwise we might not have enough time to fix any issues before the release on Monday.

Hi team, can we finish the launch checklist by Thursday? That leaves time to fix any issues before Monday's release.

SO

Yes. I'll have it done Wednesday.

The ask comes first

Your reader knows what you need before they decide whether to keep reading.

Short enough to finish

It restructures sentences instead of swapping in synonyms. You see how many words it cut and how much faster it reads.

Still what you meant

Names, numbers and dates stay the same. So does the language you write in.

Never adds a deadline

"No rush" stays "no rush". Your timing survives as stated.

No typos to apologize for

Every rewrite is proofread.

Leaves clear text alone

A message that's already clear and correct comes back unchanged.

What your AI sends

Your AI writes it. Your name is on it.

AI drafts run long and are hard to follow, and your colleagues read them as yours. When Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop or VS Code sends a Slack message or an email for you, Fineword makes it short and clear first.

  • It cuts the stock phrases that make a message read as AI.
  • Turn on each AI tool in Settings. Its messages are then polished and sent without asking.
  • Choose Ask me each time to review each message first.
  • No choice within 30 seconds and the message goes out as written.
  • Links, mentions and code come through intact. If a rewrite loses one, the original is sent.
  • Every agent message is listed under Recent AI messages, with what was sent.
  • Claude Code is covered for every messaging server. In Cursor, Claude Desktop and VS Code, local servers are covered and remote ones go out as written.

The review card appears when you choose Ask me each time.

Privacy

Nothing you type is stored.

Fineword reads the text field you're typing in. It sends the text being reviewed, with the name of the app you're in, and keeps none of what you type.

Reads one field

Only the text field you're typing in. Password fields, search fields and apps you exclude are never read.

Sends only what's reviewed

The text goes through Fineword's servers to the AI model for the rewrite. Neither the text nor the rewrite is stored.

Holds back secrets

Passwords, keys and tokens Fineword recognises are swapped for placeholders before the text leaves your Mac.

Keeps agent messages local

The last 100 agent messages stay on your Mac. Clear them in Settings.

Now send the one you've been putting off.

Open any app and write it as it comes. Pause, and Fineword offers the version that gets answered.
