Rewrite selected text in any Mac app with one hotkey. Open-source AI writing tool: your OpenAI, Claude, Gemini or OpenRouter key, or fully offline with Ollama.
Taken from the repository README
Loading the full README.
Read the full README ↗macOS menu-bar app that rewrites the selected text in any app with AI: OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or a local model through Ollama. Select text, press a profile hotkey, and the selection is replaced with the rewritten text. ⌘Z undoes it.
While a request runs, the menu-bar icon pulses and a small HUD near the cursor shows progress. Press Esc to cancel. If something goes wrong (nothing selected, missing API key, HTTP error, truncated or empty answer), the HUD shows the error, nothing is pasted, and your clipboard is restored.
The app has no Dock icon. It starts at login by default.
Download the notarized DMG from lirnyk.app or the latest release, or use Homebrew:
brew install --cask cheyako/tap/lirnyk
brew install xcodegen)make test # unit tests
make build # Debug build
make install # Release build → /Applications/Lirnyk.app and launch
make release # notarized DMG + release notes in build/release/ (see docs/releasing.md)
make notes # regenerate release notes for the current version from CHANGELOG.md
make cask # update the Homebrew cask in ../homebrew-tap after a release
make clean # remove build/ and the generated Xcode project
Lirnyk.xcodeproj is generated from project.yml. Every make target regenerates it, so edit project.yml, not the project.
On first launch grant Accessibility (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility),
then pick a provider and enter its API key in Settings. With Ollama, pick a model you've pulled (ollama pull llama3.2).
openai/gpt-4o-mini, OpenAI gpt-4.1-mini, Anthropic claude-haiku-5-5, Gemini gemini-2.5-flash,
Ollama llama3.2:latest.http://localhost:11434); the model list shows the models
installed on that server. Requests to Ollama time out after 120 seconds, since a model may need to load first.lirnyk.app and sends only the Lirnyk version and the macOS major version; we count these
checks per day, nothing else (no user ID, no cookies, no stored IPs). If lirnyk.app doesn't answer, Lirnyk asks
GitHub directly. Check for Updates always asks GitHub and isn't counted, and turning the automatic check off
stops the counting. See the privacy page.The version lives in project.yml: MARKETING_VERSION (shown in Settings, used for the DMG name and the vX.Y.Z
release tag) and CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION (build number, bumped with every release).
User-facing changes go in CHANGELOG.md under Unreleased; make notes turns a version's section
into GitHub release notes. The five release steps (bump, commit, make release, tag, publish) are in
docs/releasing.md.
Each profile has a title, a global shortcut and a prompt. The prompt is sent as the system prompt and the selected text as the user message. The prompt controls everything, including the output language. Defaults: Friendly ⌃⌥F, Corporate ⌃⌥H, Tech ⌃⌥O.
Profiles are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Lirnyk/profiles.json. You can also run a profile from the menu-bar menu.

docs/ release steps and manual test checklist
Global shortcuts use KeyboardShortcuts. Before a release, run the manual checklist in docs/manual-test.md.
One-time:
xcrun notarytool store-credentials lirnyk-notary --apple-id <apple-id> --team-id 2S5U65Y5CZ
(use an app-specific password).Then: make release → build/release/Lirnyk-<version>.dmg, plus the same file as Lirnyk.dmg for the stable
releases/latest/download/Lirnyk.dmg link.
The script picks the single valid Developer ID Application certificate for team 2S5U65Y5CZ; if you have
several, set SIGN_IDENTITY=<SHA-1>. A rejected notarization prints Apple's log and stops.
Bump MARKETING_VERSION in project.yml per release.
Stapling downloads Apple's ticket over a pinned connection: it fails ("Certificate authority pinning
mismatch", error 68) behind HTTPS-inspecting corporate VPNs/proxies. Disconnect them before make release.
make dmg → build/dmg/Lirnyk-<version>-unnotarized.dmg in about a minute: Developer ID signed, but not sent
to Apple. Fine for your own Macs; others must allow it via System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
Lirnyk is free. If it saves you time, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi ☕ The app links there too: Support Lirnyk… in the menu-bar menu and in Settings → About.
