AIWritingPal for Mac and Windows
A window of one’s own.
The same quiet editor, as an app on your computer. It opens at once, works without a connection, and your drafts are the same ones you have on the web.
- Open the downloaded file
- Drag AIWritingPal into Applications
- Open it and write. No account needed
Opens at once
No loading screen. The draft you left is back on the page the moment you open the app.
Works offline
Write on a train, on a plane, in the mountains. Everything is saved on your Mac and syncs when you are back online.
Synced as you type
Open the same draft on the web and in the app and each sees the other’s words as they are typed. Nothing is ever overwritten.
Blue Pencil included
Edit, ask and review with Blue Pencil, on the same account and plan as on the web. It needs a connection; writing doesn’t.
Found by Spotlight
Press ⌘ Space, type a word from a title or a draft, and open it. The index stays on this Mac.
Hands stay on the keyboard
⌘N for a new draft, ⌘K to find one, ⌘. to focus. Every command is in the menu bar too.
Browser extensions
Wherever you write.
Select what you wrote in a text box on any website. Blue Pencil improves it or fixes its errors, and shows you what changed.
Safari
Comes with the Mac app, nothing more to download. Sign in to the app, then turn on AIWritingPal in Safari → Settings → Extensions.
Download for MacChrome
For Chrome on a Mac or a Windows PC. Chrome adds it from a folder:
- Download the file and unzip it somewhere it can stay.
- In Chrome, open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
- Choose Load unpacked and pick the folder. A new version is a new download.
Questions
Is the desktop app free?
Yes. It uses your AIWritingPal account and plan, including the free plan. You can write without an account at all; signing in adds sync and Blue Pencil.
What do I need?
A Mac with macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, on Apple silicon or Intel. Or a PC with Windows 11, or Windows 10 version 2004 or later.
Is there a Windows version?
Yes, for Windows 10 and 11. It has the same editor, the same account and the same drafts as the Mac app and the web. The first time, Windows may ask before it runs the installer: choose “More info”, then “Run anyway”.
Where are my drafts kept?
On your computer. Once you sign in, also on your account, so they are on the web and on your other computers too.
How does it update?
The app checks for updates on its own. On a Mac it asks before installing one; on Windows a new version is downloaded quietly and takes over the next time you open the app.
Can I use Blue Pencil on other websites?
Yes, in Safari and in Chrome. Safari: the Mac app includes the extension; sign in to the app, then turn it on in Safari → Settings → Extensions (Safari 18.4 or later). Chrome: download the extension on this page and load it from its folder at chrome://extensions, on a Mac or a Windows PC. Then select what you typed in a text box on a website, and Blue Pencil improves it or fixes its errors right there.
Does the extension read what is on the pages I visit?
Not on its own. Only when you choose Improve or Fix does it send the text you selected, with up to 1,500 characters before and after it, to AIWritingPal to be edited. Password fields are never read.
