WunderType for Mac

Correct, rewrite, and refine your text in any Mac app with a keyboard shortcut, powered by on-device AI, no account required.

$8.99

Version 1.6.6

WunderType overview

WunderType is a lightweight menu-bar companion that fixes and rewrites your writing in any app on your Mac. Select some text, press ⌘⇧G, and it's replaced in place — grammar corrected, tone adjusted, done. No copy-pasting into a chatbot, no switching windows.

It works virtually everywhere the macOS Accessibility API can read a selection: Mail, Slack, Notes, Pages, Safari, Chrome, VS Code, and almost every other native or browser app.

Five modes in the box
  • Correct Grammar (⌘⇧G) — fix spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
  • Improve Writing (⌘⇧I) — clearer, tighter, better phrasing.
  • Make Concise (⌘⇧C) — cut the fluff.
  • Make Formal (⌘⇧F) — professional tone.
  • Make Casual (⌘⇧K) — relaxed, friendly tone.

Plus unlimited custom prompts — write an instruction in plain English and WunderType tunes it into a reusable shortcut.

Your AI, your terms
Choose how the AI runs — and switch any time:
  • On-Device (recommended) — runs directly on your Mac's GPU via Apple's MLX framework. No install, no API key, no account, fully offline after a one-time model download. Pick from four models (Gemma 3 1B, Granite 2B, Phi-4 Mini, Gemma 3 4B). Requires Apple Silicon.
  • Ollama — free, open-source, 100% local. Traffic never leaves localhost.
  • OpenAI — bring your own key for frontier models (GPT-4.1, GPT-4o). Direct request, no middleman.
  • OpenRouter — hundreds of models (Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral) through one key.
Private by desing
  • No accounts, no sign-up, no telemetry.
  • With On-Device or Ollama, your text never leaves your Mac.
  • API keys are stored encrypted in the macOS Keychain — never in plain text, never synced by us.
  • Sandboxed menu-bar app (~20 MB) with no background daemons — it only wakes when you press a shortcut.

What's new in version 1.6.6

Performance and reliability polish for the core loop.

  • A snappier first correction — WunderType now prepares its history and personalization data the moment it launches, so your first correction of the session no longer pauses to load it. Saving to history also stays out of the way, even when your history is large.
  • Accurate On-Device status — after macOS reclaims memory from an idle on-device model, the menu no longer shows "Disconnected." Your next correction simply reloads the model and runs.
  • Smoother provider switching — switching away from On-Device AI right after launch no longer keeps loading a model you're no longer using.
