What Macaify is

A small Mac utility for text. Select something in any application, press a shortcut, and the AI result is written back where you were working.

It is open source and local-first, and it avoids the copy-paste round trip to a chat window.

What you can do with it

Rewrite selected text in place
Translate a selection
Summarise a passage
Polish wording inside your own app
Work across Mac applications
Configure which model or service is used

Who it is for

Mac users who write a lot
People tired of copy-paste to a chat window
Writers, translators and office users
Users who prefer local-first tooling

What to watch out for

Where your text goes depends on which model or service you configure
Writing results back can overwrite what you selected, so keep originals when it matters
It is macOS only, so cross-platform teams need something else
Official documents still need manual proofreading
