Native macOS app · Works anywhere you can select text

Rewrite, translate, and polish text without leaving the app you are in.

Simple flow

Three steps, no context switching.

Select text

Highlight text in the app where you are already writing.

Press a hotkey

Choose a built-in command or trigger one of your own actions.

Review and apply

Use the preview panel to apply, retry, or cancel the rewrite.

Why it feels fast

Built like a Mac utility.

Native menus, global shortcuts, Keychain storage, and a focused settings window. No browser tab, no account, no extra writing workspace.

Seven built-in actions

Fix grammar, improve writing, adjust tone, shorten, expand, or translate selected text.

Preview before replacing

Compare original and rewritten text before anything is changed in your active app.

Voice dictation

Press a hotkey, speak, and Verbia transcribes, cleans up the text, and types it at your cursor.

Bring your own key

Use Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Qwen, or OpenRouter. Keys stay in macOS Keychain.

Native updates

Signed releases, Apple notarization, and Sparkle auto-updates for normal app installs.

Launch and forget

Runs from the menu bar, supports launch at login, and stays out of your Dock.

Pricing

Pay once. Keep it forever.

Verbia is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Try the whole app free for 14 days first.

The price buys the app, not the AI. Verbia uses your own provider account, so usage is billed to you by whichever provider you pick — or costs nothing at all if you run models locally with Ollama.

Already have a license key? Enter it in Verbia under Settings → License.

14-day free trial — the full app, nothing held back.
No subscription. Every future update is included.
One license unlocks every Mac you own.
Verified offline. There is no activation server that can lock you out.
Your trial data stays put — API keys, shortcuts, and custom actions all survive.

Private by design

Your text moves only when you ask it to.

No analytics or tracking scripts.
No account required by the app.
Provider keys are stored in the macOS Keychain.
Selected text is sent only after you trigger an action.

Ready for a normal Mac install.

Download the DMG, or install from Homebrew once the cask is published.
