Pinchbar
Rewrite, summarize or translate anything you copy
The verdict
Copy any text, press Option-V and pick rewrite, summarize, translate or fact-check, and the result lands back on your clipboard. Inline Mode fixes a sentence right where you selected it, and the clipboard history lets you run an action on something you copied hours ago. It is a new MacPaw app found only on Setapp, and anything beyond on-device Apple Intelligence uses Setapp AI credits.
Get it if
You paste text into ChatGPT several times a day just to clean up a sentence.
Skip it if
You already use Apple's Writing Tools, which handle quick rewrites for free on Apple silicon Macs.
What it helps you do
- Rewrite a sentence without switching apps
- Translate a message from your clipboard
- Summarize a long email in seconds
- Keep copied passwords locked automatically
