PMW Polish My Writing
THREE KEYS · THAT'S THE WHOLE APP
OPTION COMMAND P POLISH

Your hands never leave the keyboard.

Finish your thought, hit ⌘A to grab it all, then ⌥⌘P to rewrite it in place — fixing grammar, spelling and wording while keeping your voice and language. No window switching. No mouse.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. The middle one is a keystroke.

PMW lives in your menu bar and does exactly one thing — so there's almost nothing to learn.

01 ⌘A

Select your text

Highlight a sentence, or press ⌘A to grab everything. In your editor, browser, Mail, Slack — anywhere you can type.

02 ⌥⌘P

Press the shortcut

⌥⌘P sends your selection to be polished. Don't like the combo? Set it to anything you want in Settings.

03

It's replaced in place

Your selection becomes the polished version — same spot, same app, same flow. Keep typing without missing a beat.

SEE IT HAPPEN

The same draft, polished three ways.

Switch the level and watch the polish change. Your meaning and language stay put.

Polishing level
YOUR DRAFT

hey i think we shoud probably push the deploy to tommorow, theres still a few bugs i wanna check and i dont wanna break prod again lol

POLISHED

Hey, I think we should probably push the deploy to tomorrow. There's still a few bugs I want to check, and I don't want to break prod again lol

Hey — I think we should push the deploy to tomorrow. There are still a few bugs I want to check, and I'd rather not break prod again.

I'd suggest we push the deploy to tomorrow — there are a few bugs I still want to verify, and I'd rather avoid another production incident.

⌥⌘P

Light · spelling and grammar only — everything else stays exactly as you wrote it.

Standard · fixes grammar and tightens wording while keeping your tone.

Thorough · restructures for the clearest version — still your voice, just sharper.

POLISHING LEVELS

Pick how much polish you want.

Switch any time — from the menu bar, or in Settings. Your choice sticks until you change it.

Light

Typos & grammar only

Fixes spelling and obvious mistakes and changes nothing else. Best when you just need it correct and want your exact wording untouched.

DEFAULT

Standard

Clean & natural

Fixes grammar and tightens wording while keeping your tone. The everyday default — clearer writing that still sounds like you.

Thorough

Clear & considered

Restructures clunky sentences for the strongest version of what you meant. Still your voice — just sharper and easier to read.

ANY APP · ANY LANGUAGE

Works wherever you write — in whatever language.

PMW doesn't care which app you're in. It polishes whatever text you've selected and detects the language automatically — then answers in that same language. Nothing to set, nothing to switch.

Language detected automatically — no setting to change.
EN can we sync tommorow? Can we sync tomorrow?
ES necesito mas tiempo Necesito más tiempo.
DE ich hab das vergessen Ich habe das vergessen.

YOUR PROVIDER

Your AI, your key, your account.

Bring an API key from whichever provider you trust. PMW talks straight to them — no middle-man server, no markup, no subscription to us.

Anthropic

Claude models — a great default for natural, careful rewrites.

Paste your key once

OpenAI

GPT models — fast, capable, and probably already in your toolkit.

Paste your key once

Google Gemini

Fast, multimodal models — strong across languages and long documents.

Paste your key once

OpenRouter

One key, hundreds of models — pick whichever you like and switch freely.

Paste your key once
PRIVACY

Your words stay yours.

PMW is a thin shortcut between you and your provider. There's no account, no cloud, nothing of yours sitting on our servers — because there are no servers.

Your Mac
your API key direct connection
Your provider

No PMW server in the middle. No detour. No copy kept.

Nothing stored

PMW keeps no copy of your text. It's read when you press the shortcut, sent, and forgotten.

No middle-man

Your selection goes straight from your Mac to your provider, over your own key. We never see it.

Only when you ask

The app just listens for ⌥⌘P. It reads your selection only at the moment you trigger it — never in the background.

FAQ

Good questions.

Yes. The app itself is free. You pay your AI provider directly for what you use, through your own API key — usually a fraction of a cent per polish.
Yes — one from Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter. Paste it once in Settings and you never think about it again.
No. PMW detects the language of your selection and always replies in that same language. There is no language setting to manage.
Any app where you can select text — code editors, browsers, Mail, Slack, Notes, Pages, and so on. PMW works on the selection, not the app.
⌥⌘P is the default, but you can set the polish shortcut (and the open-settings shortcut) to whatever you like in Settings.
