Sound Familiar?
Common writing bottlenecks this solves
You notice mistakes after you send
Small grammar issues hurt clarity. You want quick fixes before sending, without opening a separate editor.
The tone does not fit the channel
A draft can be too formal for Slack or too casual for clients. You need fast tone adjustments in place.
Draft length is off
Some messages need tightening, others need more context. You want to shorten or expand text quickly.
How It Works
A simple flow to get better results
Select your text
Highlight a sentence, paragraph, or post in the app where you are already writing.
Run a RewriteBar command
Choose Fix Grammar & Spelling, Change Tone, Summarize, Make Shorter, or another command.
Paste and send
