AI paraphraser that works in any app on Mac and Windows

Partly, yes. The Free plan costs $0 and includes 30 rewrites per month at up to 1,000 characters each — enough to paraphrase a paragraph, a reply, or a batch of headlines anywhere on your Mac or Windows machine. If you paraphrase all day, Pro removes the cap: unlimited rewrites at up to 10,000 characters per selection, premium models, voice dictation, and API access for $12/mo billed annually ($144/yr) or $15 month to month. Every new account also starts with a 14-day free trial of the Team plan — no card required — so you can test everything, including shared styles and company context, before deciding whether Free covers you. When the trial ends you keep your account and drop to the Free limits rather than getting locked out, so trying it costs nothing either way.

The workflow. Paraphrasing sites live in a browser tab: you copy text out of your document, paste it into the site, generate, then paste the result back and fix the formatting. Rewrait is a native Mac and Windows app on a system-wide hotkey, so that loop disappears — select text where it already lives (Gmail, Word, Notion, your CMS), press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, and the paraphrase replaces the original in place. The audience differs too. QuillBot grew up around academic paraphrasing, while Rewrait is built for work writing: you save shortcuts for the rewrites you repeat — soften this reply, tighten this intro — and every rewrite offers Warmer, Shorter, and More direct variants, so you choose the version that fits instead of re-rolling the same prompt and hoping the next spin lands.

That is the job: Rewrait rewrites the text you selected rather than generating something new, so your facts, names, numbers, and intent carry through. Two safeguards keep you in control. First, nothing is ever replaced automatically — the rewrite appears next to your original, and you decide whether to insert it. Second, each rewrite comes with variants (Warmer, Shorter, More direct), so if one version drifts from what you meant, another usually nails it, and you can always keep your original untouched. Selections run up to 1,000 characters on the Free plan and 10,000 on paid plans, which keeps each paraphrase focused on a passage you can actually review, rather than a whole document you would have to re-read line by line to trust.

Not unless you ask it to. Rewrait is private by default: your rewrite history is off unless you opt in, your text is processed on demand to produce the rewrite and is never used to train models, and even the anonymous feedback events that help improve the product never include your text. There is no background reading either — Rewrait only ever sees the words you explicitly select and submit with the hotkey, not your screen or your clipboard at large. If you do enable history because you like having past rewrites to reuse, you can turn it off again whenever you want. For teams that need the commitment in writing, the Team plan carries an explicit no-training guarantee, and the security page lists exactly which subprocessors handle what.
