TextFix is a lightweight utility for macOS that corrects spelling, grammar, and clarity issues in selected text using large language models. Users highlight text, press a hotkey, and receive corrected output instantly pasted back into their document. The tool was created by Jonathan Hind Teh for dyslexic writers and anyone who types quickly without pausing to edit.
The app integrates directly into the macOS menu bar for quick access without switching windows. It handles common writing issues like misspellings, grammatical errors, and phrasing improvements. The maker says it was built as a personal alternative to paid services, using AI-powered text processing.
