Native macOS app · Works anywhere you can select text
Rewrite, translate, and polish text without leaving the app you are in.
Verbia sits in your menu bar. Select text, press a hotkey, preview the rewrite, then apply it in place.
brew install --cask verbia

Improve WritingHi Clara, I checked the numbers, and we can ship tomorrow if Design approves today.
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.

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.
