Improve Slack messages before you hit send

Yes — Slack desktop on Mac and Windows, and Slack in the browser. Rewrait is a native app that works at the operating-system level, so there is no Slack app to install from the marketplace, no bot in your workspace, and no admin approval needed to start. The whole flow happens in the message box: type the draft the way it comes out, select it, press Cmd+Shift+P (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows), pick a shortcut, and the improved version replaces your draft — still unsent, still yours to edit. It works the same in channels, threads, and DMs. And because nothing reads your screen in the background, Rewrait never sees your Slack history or anyone else's messages; it only processes the text you select, on demand.

Yes — that is the most common rewrite in Slack. The Shorter and More direct variants keep the load-bearing pieces — names, dates, ticket numbers, links, the actual ask — and cut the scaffolding: the apologies for asking, the 'kind of, sort of' hedges, the second restatement of the problem. The examples above show the pattern: a five-line ramble becomes three lines with an owner and a deadline. You always see the rewrite next to your draft before anything replaces it, so when a cut loses context that mattered, pick another variant or keep your version. A useful habit: write the long version freely, because it helps you think, then compress at send time. The Free plan's 1,000-character limit per selection covers almost any reasonable Slack message — and if yours are longer than that, Shorter fixes that too.

Yes, on the Team plan. A workspace owner publishes shared shortcuts — 'standup format', 'incident update', 'decision summary', 'request with deadline' — and everyone runs them from the same hotkey menu inside Slack. That is how a team gets updates that read consistently at 9am: same fields, same order, same level of detail, no matter who wrote them. Shortcuts can also pull from approved company context in Notion, Confluence, or Google Docs — your incident runbook, your comms guidelines — so the 'incident update' format is the one your team actually documented, and updating the doc updates everyone's rewrites. Team is $20 per seat per month billed annually ($25 monthly), no seat minimum, with owner-managed seats and billing. Every new account starts with a 14-day free Team trial, no card — plenty to test it on a week of standups.

No. Rewrait has no connection to Slack at all — it is not a Slack integration, it does not sit in your workspace, and it cannot see channels, threads, or history. It works like a keyboard-level tool: the only text it ever processes is the text you explicitly select and submit with the hotkey, on demand, to produce a rewrite. Privacy defaults apply on top of that: your text is never used to train models, rewrite history is off unless you personally opt in, and the feedback events that help improve Rewrait never include message content. For companies with stricter requirements, the Team plan adds a written no-training guarantee, and our security page lists exactly which subprocessors handle what. The honest summary: Rewrait sees only what you select — nothing else.
