Polish tweets and Twitter replies before you post

Yes. Rewrait is a native Mac and Windows app, not a browser extension, so it works in the X compose box on the web, in the reply field under someone's post, and equally well in the notes app where you stockpile drafts. Select what you wrote, press Cmd+Shift+P (Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows), pick your shortcut, and the rewrite replaces the draft in place — you never leave the compose window or lose the reply context. That last part matters more than it sounds: half the damage of copy-pasting a reply into another tool is that you stop seeing the post you are replying to, and the tone drifts. Rewriting in place keeps the conversation in front of you while you sharpen the take.

That is the most-used shortcut on this page. Every rewrite comes with a Shorter variant, and for tweets it behaves the way a good editor would: it keeps the claim and cuts the wind-up — the 'honestly i think', the second example, the trailing 'etc etc'. Run it on an over-limit draft and you will usually land comfortably under the cap with the point intact; if the first cut loses something you cared about, compare the other variants or run Shorter again on the result. Nothing posts automatically — the rewrite replaces your draft in the compose box and you still press the button yourself. The Free plan's 1,000-character ceiling per selection sits far above tweet length, so the limit you will actually notice is 30 rewrites a month, not size.

Only if your drafts do. Rewrait rewrites what you wrote rather than generating posts from a topic, so the take, the example, and the attitude are yours — it removes filler, not personality. Two things keep it that way. First, variants: Shorter and More direct usually fit X better than anything ornate, and you pick the winner with your own eyes before posting. Second, personal styles: you can save a style that describes how you actually write — lowercase, no hashtags, no emoji, dry — and run rewrites through it, so the output sounds like a tighter you instead of a louder someone else. The AI-slop pattern people clock on X comes from generated-from-nothing posts. Starting from a real draft with a real opinion is the entire difference.

Probably not at first. The Free plan costs $0 and includes 30 rewrites a month at up to 1,000 characters each — tweets and replies fit with room to spare, so casual posting is covered indefinitely without a card. If you post and reply heavily, or you also want Rewrait for email and docs, Pro is $12/mo billed annually ($144/yr) or $15 monthly: unlimited rewrites, 10,000-character selections for longform posts and threads, premium models, and voice dictation — useful for capturing a take out loud before it evaporates, then shaping it in the compose box. Every new account also starts with a 14-day free trial of the Team plan, no card required, so you can test the whole product at full strength before settling on Free.
