Questions.

FAQ
Is this speech-to-text?

No. unblurt is text to text. You type (or select) the messy version; it hands back the version you'd actually send. Same one-shortcut ease, no microphone.

Where does my text go?

To the opencode engine on your own machine (127.0.0.1), and from there to whichever model provider you connected. There is no unblurt server, and each rewrite's session is deleted right after.

Which models work?

Anything opencode supports: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter, GitHub Copilot, local models through Ollama or LM Studio, and more. Small fast models feel best, since rewrites are short.

macOS or Windows warns me when I first open it

The beta builds aren't signed with a paid Apple or Microsoft certificate yet, so the first launch gets a warning. On macOS, open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway next to unblurt (or right-click the app and choose Open). On Windows, click More info, then Run anyway. You only do this once.

Why does macOS ask for Accessibility access?

To read your selection and paste the result, unblurt presses copy and paste for you. macOS requires Accessibility permission for that. Without it you can still type into the window and copy the result.

Does it touch my clipboard?

Briefly, to read your selection, then it puts back what was there. After a paste, the new text stays on your clipboard so you can paste it again.

What's the plate on the edge of my screen?

A slim tab on the left edge that does the same job as the shortcut, for when your hand is on the mouse. Drag selected text onto it and unblurt opens with that text, right next to the plate. Your original stays where it was, and paste replaces it when you're done. Hover it for three quick buttons: Rephrase or Shorter on whatever you have selected, or Clipboard for what you last copied. Grab its dots to move it to any side or corner of your screen, or hide it in settings.

Can I change the shortcut?

Yes. Open settings from the menu bar or tray icon, or press ⌘ , inside the window. Pick one of the presets, or choose custom and press any combo you like. unblurt tells you if another app already owns it.
