Paraphrase Text on Mac in Any App
Paraphrase text where you write, not in a separate browser editor.
Echoo paraphrases text on Mac by sending the selected passage to an editable command and replacing it in the current app. You can define formal, simple, concise, or audience-specific variants, choose GPT, Claude, Gemini, or a local model, and reuse the same prompt from a keyboard shortcut.
How It Works
Create a paraphrase command
Specify meaning preservation, desired style, and any terms that must remain unchanged.
Select text in any app
Highlight a complete sentence or paragraph in your current Mac app.
Run the shortcut
Review the paraphrase in place or use popup mode to compare alternatives.
Pro Tips
Use one command per recurring paraphrase style instead of editing the prompt each time.
Preserve references and specialist terminology explicitly.
Use a local model for unpublished or confidential text.
