Select text. Press a hotkey.
Grammar fixed.
ClipSlop is a keyboard-first AI writing tool for macOS. Fix grammar, translate, rewrite, format — all without leaving the app you’re typing in. Bring your own AI provider; no subscription, no lock-in.
No copying, no tabs, no dialog boxes. Result pastes back where the cursor is.
Two modes. Both ridiculously fast.
Use a single hotkey for one-shot fixes, or chain prompts together for the full pipeline. ClipSlop lives in your menu bar; you live in your editor.
Quick Paste
Bind any prompt to a global hotkey. ClipSlop captures the selection, transforms it, pastes it back — entirely in the background.
Full pipeline
Need more than one step? Drill through the prompt tree with single-key mnemonics. Every result is saved as a step you can branch from.
Branch & revisit
Hit ←/→ to walk the whole transformation chain. Don’t like a result? Branch from any step. History is kept in-session, never on disk.
Single-key mnemonics, infinite chains.
The prompt tree is keyboard navigable. Each folder picks its prompt with a single letter. Translate to English, then rewrite for business, then format as email — three keystrokes after the trigger.
Six prompt groups. Forty-plus recipes.
Ships with a curated set out of the box. Add your own prompts and folders — each gets its own mnemonic and optional global shortcut.
The keyboard-first one. Free too.
Most AI writing tools want a subscription, a browser tab, or both. ClipSlop is a one-time download with the AI provider of your choice.
