## What is Type?

Type-Cat brings AI-powered writing directly into your keyboard - no app switching, no copy-pasting..
Wherever you type on iPhone, Type-Cat is there. Select your text or start typing, and let AI fix your grammar, adjust your tone, or translate - all without leaving the app you're in.

FEATURES
• Fix Grammar - Automatically detects and corrects grammar, spelling, punctuation, and verb agreement errors while preserving your original meaning.
• Rewrite Tone - Instantly rewrite your text as Casual, Concise, Formal, Gen Z, Singlish.
• Translate - Translate your text into English, Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, French, German, or Spanish.
• Quick Fix Bar - Spelling corrections appear inline above the keyboard so you can apply them with a single tap.

BRING YOUR OWN KEY
Type-Cat works with your own API key - you choose your AI provider:
• OpenAI (GPT)
• Google Gemini
• xAI Grok
• Anthropic Claude

Your API key is stored securely in the iOS Keychain and never shared with anyone. Text is sent directly from your device to your chosen provider - the developer never sees it.

PRIVACY FIRST
• No account required
• No data collection
• No tracking or analytics
• Spelling checks run entirely on-device
