Works everywhere

Sharper prompts in every AI tool.

HotkeyX shines wherever you write prompts. Highlight your text, press the hotkey, and get a cleaner version back in the same box, no copy-paste, no tab-switching.

How it works

Three keys.
Zero workflow change.

make me a habit tracker app

01
Select your prompt
Highlight whatever you typed: in your coding AI, ChatGPT, a design-AI prompt box, a Figma comment. Anywhere selectable text exists.
02
Press the hotkey
Default is ⌃⌥Space, fully remappable. HotkeyX reads the selection, detects the target tool, and chooses the right rewrite mode.

Build a habit-tracker web app where I can add daily habits, check them off, and see my streak…

Done
03
Replace in place
The polished version overwrites your selection. No popup to copy from, no context switch. Hit ⌘Z to revert.

HotkeyX understands
before it rewrites.

Three quiet layers of context, so what comes back sounds like you, fits the app you're in, and means what you meant.

Build a React 19 + TypeScript login page component. Layout: centered card on a full-viewport background, with an email input, password input, "Log In" submit button, and a "Forgot password?" link below the button. State: controlled inputs for email and password via useState; a loading boolean that disables the button and shows a spinner while submitting. Props: onSubmit: (email: string, password: string) => Promise<void>. Validation: show an inline error message if either field is empty on submit. Use Tailwind CSS for styling. The card should be responsive (full-width on mobile, max-w-sm centered on sm+). Include aria-label on each input.

Why it works

Built for the way you
actually prompt.

The action

One hotkey.
Any app.

Press Space anywhere on your Mac (Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude), and your selected text turns into a sharp prompt in seconds.

Space
Context

It knows where you are.

Coding in Cursor? It keeps your half-written code in mind. In a browser? It reads the page you're on. No setup. No copy-paste.

Quality

Not paraphrasing. Prompting.

HotkeyX doesn't just reword. It rebuilds with your intent, the details that matter, and a clear style. The kind AI responds to.

Intent-aware

It picks the right mode.

You don't pick Code vs. Image vs. Research. HotkeyX reads your selection and routes it to the right rewrite mode automatically.

Common questions

Everything else you
might be wondering.

Yes. HotkeyX works in any app with a text field: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Midjourney, Notion, Slack, VS Code, Xcode, Mail, even your browser's address bar. It reads what you've selected and rewrites it in place, no copy-paste.

Your selected text is sent over HTTPS to our backend, rewritten by Anthropic's Claude, and discarded. Nothing is stored unless you turn on History, which is encrypted with a key derived from your account, so even we can't read it.

Free includes 10 rewrites per week. When you hit the weekly cap, the overlay tells you and you can either wait until next week or upgrade to Pro for effectively unlimited use.

Yes. macOS 14 (Sonoma) and newer. The download is a Universal binary, so it runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel. Windows and Linux aren't on the roadmap yet.

ChatGPT's prompt helpers only work inside ChatGPT. HotkeyX works everywhere, with one shortcut. It also detects what kind of task you're doing (coding, image, research, writing) and routes to a rewrite mode tuned for that intent instead of running a generic rewrite.

Yes. One click in your account portal cancels at the end of the current period. No emails, no haggling. Anything you've already paid for stays usable until then.
