Writing Tools is an Apple Intelligence-inspired application for Windows that supercharges your writing with AI LLMs. It lets you fix up grammar and more with one hotkey press, system-wide. It's currently the world's most intelligent system-wide grammar assistant.
Aside from being the only Windows program that works like Apple's Writing Tools:

Go to the Releases page and download the latest Writing.Tools.zip
file.
Extract it where you want, run Writing Tools.exe
, and enjoy! :D
Note: If you extract Writing Tools into a protected system folder like Program Files, you'll need to run it as administrator at least on the first launch or it won't be able to create/edit its config file (in the same folder as its exe).
To let it automatically start when you boot your PC, add a shortcut of the Writing Tools.exe
to the Windows Start-Up folder (Open Run and type shell:startup
to get to this folder).

On some devices, Writing Tools does not work correctly with the default hotkey. To fix it, simply change the hotkey to ctrl+` or ctrl+j and restart Writing Tools. PS: If a hotkey is already in use by a program or background process, Writing Tools may not be able to intercept it. The above hotkeys are usualy unused.
The initial launch of the Writing Tools.exe
might take unusually long ā this seems to be because AV software extensively scans this new executable before letting it run. Once it launches into the background in RAM, it works instantly as usual.
If you prefer to run it directly from the main.py
file:
Download the code by clicking this button above:
Right-click the folder of the code you downloaded, and click Open in Terminal.
You'll only have to do this once: Type pip install -r requirements.txt
.
Of course, you'll need to have Python installed!.
Any time you want to run the program, just type python main.py
in your terminal.
Here's how to compile it with PyInstaller:
pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller-build-script.py
Ideally, run this in a Python venv.
Writing Tools would not be where it is today without its amazing contributors:
Cameron Redmore (CameronRedmore): Extensively refactored Writing Tools and added OpenAI Compatible API support, streamed responses, and the chat mode when no text is selected.
Disneyhockey40 (Soszust40): Helped add dark mode, the plain theme, tray menu fixes, and UI improvements.
I welcome contributions! :D If you'd like to improve Writing Tools, feel free to open a Pull Request or get in touch with me.
