Turn this into a concise, actionable team plan. Preserve the goal, surface key tradeoffs, and end with the next three steps.

Small flow. Useful guardrails.

Mac Prompt Rewriter follows the shortest path that keeps the important parts safe.

01

Capture

Focus a supported ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work, or Codex composer and press a shortcut. Mac Prompt Rewriter keeps the original text and destination in view.

02

Refine

Use your own ChatGPT sign-in. Launch scope is draft-first; contextual history stays off until account isolation is verified.

03

Replace

The finished result returns to the unchanged composer. If the destination changed, Mac Prompt Rewriter leaves it alone.

Built around a few hard rules.

  • No auto-submit.Mac Prompt Rewriter replaces text. You decide when it goes.
  • No copied login secrets.Codex App Server handles ChatGPT sign-in. Mac Prompt Rewriter does not read your credentials.
  • No guessed history.Context stays draft-first until account isolation is verified; history is never guessed from a title or recent-chat order.
  • Guidelines stay editable.Keep the mode instructions in your own voice and tune them over time.
