Say Better helps you rewrite everyday text without leaving the place you are typing. Use the Say Better keyboard to polish messages, emails, notes, and other short writing. Choose the tone you want, review the suggestion, then apply or copy the result when it fits. The companion app keeps your account, keyboard setup, usage, recent rewrite history, and writing habit insights in one place. You can turn rewrite history off, clear saved history, manage your plan, restore purchases, contact support, and delete your account from the app. Say Better includes a free plan and an optional Pro Monthly subscription for more rewrite capacity. Text you choose to rewrite is sent to Say Better servers and an AI provider to generate suggestions, so avoid submitting passwords, payment information, or other sensitive content.
