About

A small tray app for Ubuntu (X11). Select text in any application, press a global shortcut, and the selection is replaced with natural, professional English from the LLM endpoint you configure. Shortcuts (editable in Settings): Ctrl+Shift+X fix grammar, or translate non-English text to English Ctrl+Alt+E translate to English Ctrl+Alt+P make professional Ctrl+Alt+S make shorter Works with any OpenAI-compatible chat/completions endpoint: Groq, OpenAI, OpenRouter, or a local Ollama / LM Studio server with no API key at all. Your API token stays in a private config file on your machine. No telemetry. Text that looks like a password or API key is never sent. Optional local history, off by default. Requires an X11 session (Ubuntu's default "Ubuntu on Xorg"); global shortcuts and text replacement are not available on Wayland.
