Bottom line

Wordtune earned its users — the suggestions were genuinely good and the tone controls were ahead of their time. But AI21 discontinued consumer development to focus on enterprise AI, and with the company in acquisition talks, nobody can promise Wordtune a roadmap. If you only need a few browser rewrites a day and it still works for you, there is no urgency. Choose Rewrait when you want a maintained replacement that goes further: in-place rewrites in every Mac and Windows app, tone variants, multilingual dictation, and team-shared styles — with a free plan to test the switch before paying anything.

FAQ

Questions before you install

Is Wordtune discontinued?

Effectively, yes — for consumers. AI21 Labs, the company behind Wordtune, discontinued consumer development to focus on its enterprise platform, Maestro. The app and extension still function and subscriptions are still sold, but the product is no longer being actively built, and AI21 itself has been in acquisition talks — most recently with Nebius as of April 2026 — which leaves Wordtune's long-term future genuinely uncertain. None of this is a knock on the product: Wordtune's suggestions were good and its tone controls were ahead of their time. But a writing tool you rely on daily needs a maintainer. If you are a Wordtune user planning ahead, the practical move is to pick a replacement on your own schedule rather than an acquirer's. Rewrait's free plan, with 30 rewrites a month, is a low-stakes way to test the switch.

What is the best Wordtune alternative?

It depends on what you used Wordtune for. If you mainly wanted free, casual rewrites on a Mac, Apple's built-in Writing Tools now cover that at no cost. If you want a maintained product that does what Wordtune did and more, Rewrait rewrites selected text in place in any Mac or Windows app — not just the browser — with tone variants (Warmer, Shorter, More direct) that map closely to the casual and shorten controls Wordtune users reach for most. Beyond parity, Rewrait adds what Wordtune never had: shortcuts you define yourself, multilingual voice dictation, team-shared styles, and company context from Notion, Confluence, and Google Docs. Pricing is honest about the difference: Wordtune's promo pricing is cheaper at $6.99 a month billed annually, while Rewrait Pro is $12 a month billed annually for unlimited rewrites with premium models — and Rewrait's free plan lets you compare results on your own text first.

Can Rewrait change tone like Wordtune did?

Yes. Every Rewrait rewrite comes with variants — Warmer, Shorter, More direct — so you pick how the message should land, which covers the casual, formal, and shorten moves Wordtune users reach for most. Underneath that, Rewrait goes further than preset tones: shortcuts carry your own instructions, so you can build one for sounding friendly but firm with late-paying clients, or for turning bullet points into a polished update, and trigger it with the same hotkey every time. On Team plans, shortcuts can also read your approved style sources — a voice guide in Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs — so tone stops being a per-message choice and becomes a team standard. The workflow keeps the speed you are used to: select the text, press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, choose the shortcut, and the text is replaced in place.

How do I switch from Wordtune to Rewrait?

The switch takes about five minutes because there is nothing to migrate — Wordtune stored no styles or shortcuts worth exporting. Create a free Rewrait account, download the Mac or Windows app, and you start with 30 free rewrites a month, no card required. Signup also starts a 14-day free Team trial, so you can test the full product: build a couple of shortcuts for the messages you write most, try voice dictation, and connect a Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs source if your team keeps a voice guide. The main adjustment is the workflow direction: instead of waiting for suggestions in a browser sidebar, you select text anywhere — desktop apps included — press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P, and choose what should happen to it. Most former Wordtune users find on-demand rewriting faster than suggestion-scanning within a day or two.
