How it works
One shortcut. Any app.
Three real apps. Three real tasks. No app-switching, no copy-paste — just select, click, done.
How people use it
A few real moments.
Save your go-to prompts. Reuse them forever.
Improve any text right where you type it
Make sense of anything you select
Reshape any text into the format you need
Why not just copy-paste into AI?
Same AI. Fewer steps.
Same models. Same answers. ElastoType just cuts out the app-switching, copy-pasting, and re-prompting you do every time.
Universal
If you can select text, it works.

What people say after one week.
Mostly use it for quick SQL and cleaning up typos in my messages since I type fast and miss a lot. The chat interface is nice too, lets me iterate when the first result isn’t quite right. Good that it works with Claude too.
Saved a prompt that translates my English into formal Korean with the exact tone I want, and now I just trigger it whenever I’m messaging coworkers on Kakao. Saving me from re-explaining to a new session every time and hallucinations in long chats.

FAQ
How does it work?
Download ElastoType. Select any text in any Mac app — a popup appears automatically. Pick an action (Fix, Rewrite, Translate, or your saved prompts). The result replaces your text in place. You can also shake your mouse to open the popup without selecting anything.
Do I need an API key?
Not required. ElastoType works immediately with 100 free actions per month — no setup needed. But if you want unlimited usage or a specific model, you can bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Groq. Keys are stored securely in macOS Keychain.
Will it work in the apps I actually use?
If you can select text in the app, ElastoType works there. That includes Slack, VS Code, Cursor, Chrome, Arc, Mail, Notion, Obsidian, Figma, Terminal, iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Linear — over 50 apps and counting. It uses the macOS Accessibility API, so any text-editable surface is fair game.
Is my data private?
Yes. Text is sent directly to your chosen AI provider over a secure connection — we never store it on our servers. History and saved prompts live on your Mac only. We never log keystrokes or read your screen.
How is this different from using AI directly?
Open any AI tool the usual way and you’re looking at six steps: switch apps, paste, prompt, wait, copy, switch back. ElastoType collapses that into two: select, click. The popup appears right where you’re working, and the result replaces your text in place — no tab juggling, no clipboard hand-offs.
