## What is Runse?

Runse helps you refine and translate selected text from iPhone and iPad apps.

Select text in Safari, Notes, Mail, Messages, or another app, open the share or action menu, and choose Runse. The selected text opens with quick actions for clearer writing and translation.

WHAT IT DOES
* Refine selected text for clearer wording
* Translate selected text into your default or custom target language
* Copy results back to the app you were using
* Add custom OpenAI-compatible providers
* View provider status and token usage
* Customize prompt templates for your workflow

GUIDED SETUP
Runse includes a step-by-step first-launch guide showing how to select text, open the action menu, pin Runse, and run refine or translate actions. You can reopen the guide from Settings.

PROVIDERS
Runse includes a default provider for a smooth first run. Advanced users can add custom providers for DeepSeek, Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

SUBSCRIPTION
Runse Pro is an auto-renewable yearly subscription. The first month is free, then ¥12 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings.
