Free to download. No account, no signup — you’re using it the moment install finishes.
Setup guide
Drag the .dmg file’s icon into your Applications folder, then launch ElastoType.
macOS may ask you to confirm opening an app from the internet — click Open.
ElastoType will walk you to System Settings to enable it. This is what lets it read your selected text and replace it in any app.
System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → toggle ElastoType on.
Choose a keyboard shortcut to open the popup — or skip it. The default is ⌥Space, and you can swap it any time in Settings.
Open ElastoType, go to the prompt library, and create your first saved prompt. Give it a name, write the instructions, done. It’s now a one-click chip everywhere.
Open any app, highlight some text, and the popup appears automatically. Click a chip and the result drops in — right where your text was.
Permissions explained
Lets ElastoType read your selected text in any app and write the result back in place. Without it, none of the magic works.
Required for core functionality.
The only outbound requests ElastoType makes are to the AI provider you chose. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party tracking.
Your text is processed and discarded. Nothing stored on our end.
ElastoType lives in your menu bar. No Dock icon, no background processes beyond the menu bar agent.
Minimal footprint, always available.
The free tier works the second install finishes — no signup, no email. Pro activates automatically after purchase.
You own the software, not a subscription to your data.
Free covers 100 actions a month and 3 saved prompts. Pro removes every cap, starting at $3.25/month.
