How does Tidy work across different Mac apps?

You simply highlight the text you want to edit in any application and press the designated shortcut; Tidy replaces the highlighted selection with corrected text directly where it sits.

Does Tidy upload my data or text to any servers?

No. Tidy processes everything locally using the native machine learning models built into macOS, so nothing you select is ever uploaded or stored externally.

What system requirements are needed to run Tidy?

Tidy requires macOS 15 or later with Apple Intelligence support enabled.

Will Tidy mess up specific tags or dates in my text?

No, Tidy is built to leave elements like @mentions, dates, and time references completely untouched during text correction.

About Tidy

What the tool does and who it's for

Tidy is a Mac utility designed to fix spelling and grammar directly across any macOS application using simple keyboard shortcuts. By selecting text and pressing a shortcut, the app automatically overwrites the original text with a corrected version right where it sits. It also includes a dedicated second shortcut to strip out repetitive or unnatural AI slop, making text read more naturally while keeping @mentions, dates, and times completely untouched. Tidy relies entirely on the built-in macOS intelligence models, operating locally on your Mac to guarantee privacy—none of your selected text or data is ever uploaded to external servers. It requires macOS 15 with Apple Intelligence enabled.
