Now connects to LM Studio, Groq, vLLM and any OpenAI-compatible server. Plus right-click Services and Shortcuts actions. On-device AI, OpenAI, OpenRouter & Ollama too.
WunderType is a lightweight menu bar app that corrects and improves your writing with AI — right from any app on your Mac.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Select text in any application — or just place your cursor and let Smart Selection grab the paragraph
2. Press a keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧G by default)
3. Your text is corrected and replaced automatically
No copying, no pasting, no switching windows. WunderType works wherever you type — in Mail, Notes, Pages, Slack, browsers, and more.
WRITING MODES
• Correct Grammar — Fix spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors
• Improve Writing — Enhance clarity, flow, and impact
• Make Concise — Remove unnecessary words and tighten your writing
• Make Formal — Rewrite in a professional, business-appropriate tone
• Make Casual — Rewrite in a friendly, conversational tone
BUILT-IN PROMPTS
WunderType ships with 8 ready-to-use prompts: Email Polish, Slack Reply, Translate to English, TL;DR, Bullet Points, Prose from Bullets, LinkedIn Post, and Commit Message. Create your own custom prompts for any writing task, each with its own keyboard shortcut.
WRITING CONTEXT
Teach WunderType your preferred names, terms, and style notes. They’re applied to every correction automatically — so it always spells your company name right.
CHOOSE YOUR AI
WunderType gives you full control over which AI powers your corrections:
• On-Device (Local) — Run AI directly on your Mac’s GPU. No API key, no external app, no internet after setup. Choose from Granite 2B (fast), Phi-4 Mini (balanced), or Gemma 3 4B (best quality). Requires Apple Silicon.
• Ollama (Local) — Bring your own local models. Free and private.
• OpenAI (Cloud) — Use GPT models for high-quality corrections. Requires an API key.
• OpenRouter (Cloud) — Access hundreds of models — Claude, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and more — with a single API key.
PRIVACY FIRST
WunderType does not collect, store, or transmit your text to any third-party servers. With On-Device AI or Ollama, all processing happens locally on your Mac — your text never leaves your computer. When using cloud providers, text is sent directly to the API using your own key — WunderType has no intermediary server.
FEATURES
• On-Device AI — zero-setup local corrections powered by Apple Silicon
• Lives in your menu bar — always accessible, never in the way
• Smart Selection — just place your cursor, no need to select text
• 8 built-in prompts plus unlimited custom prompts with dedicated shortcuts
• Writing Context preserves your preferred names and terms
• Customizable keyboard shortcut
• Works in any app that supports text selection
• Visual feedback with an inline status indicator
• Guided onboarding to get set up in minutes
• Lightweight and fast

Does not start
Zimon Zayz
After downloading and the LLM the app refused to start and it has not worked since, this flaw was not worth the time to look at.
Developer Response
Sorry it didn't work for you. I'd genuinely like to help, but I can't fix what I can't see, nobody contacted me about this.Email info@wundertype.com with your Mac model and what happened, and I'll look at it personally. Usually these turn out to be one setting or a permission that didn't get granted, and it takes a few minutes to sort out.The offer stands whenever you want to take it.- Kemal

Thank you so much. LMStudio is on my list, will implement it soon.
Performance and reliability polish for the core loop.
• A snappier first correction — WunderType now prepares its history and personalization data the moment it launches, so your first correction of the session no longer pauses to load it. Saving to history also stays out of the way, even when your history is large.
• Accurate On-Device status — after macOS reclaims memory from an idle on-device model, the menu no longer shows "Disconnected." Your next correction simply reloads the model and runs.
• Smoother provider switching — switching away from On-Device AI right after launch no longer keeps loading a model you're no longer using.
