Fix the text before you send it. Protexter is an AI keyboard that corrects typos, changes the tone and drafts replies right where you type: Messages, Mail, WhatsApp and most other apps. Tap Fix to clean up spelling and grammar. Tap Shorter or Expand to resize it. Tap Translate to switch a message between English and Brazilian Portuguese, or ask AI for another language. Tap Ask AI, say what you need, like "tell her I'm 10 minutes late", and get a reply ready to send. Free for 7 days or 100 AI actions, whichever comes first. No card needed. You read every word before you send it. WRITE BETTER, FASTER - Get reply suggestions from the thread context you choose to share - Rewrite text already in the active message field - Start from intent when you have not typed a draft yet - Make a reply shorter, warmer, firmer, playful, or professional - Preserve important facts and avoid topics you do not want mentioned - Turn an exact TikTok post idea into title, caption, hashtag, and eligible mention options - Run Send Check before you use a draft YOUR VOICE FOR EACH CONVERSATION Choose from categorized personalities for everyday, socials, business, family, pleasure, literary, screen-inspired, and historical communication. Link a voice to a saved contact or number, or create a custom personality in the app or keyboard. Protexter keeps saved profiles separate so one conversation does not shape another. CONTEXT WITHOUT THE BUSYWORK Paste a thread, copy a conversation screenshot, or use text made available to the active keyboard. Screenshot text recognition runs on device. When context is enabled, Protexter can suggest what to say next even before you type a reply. BUILT FOR THE KEYBOARD - Tap Suggest for context-aware reply options - Tap Rewrite to improve selected or typed text - Choose a personality without leaving the keyboard - Paste a copied screenshot into contact memory - Insert an approved draft with one tap - Switch back to Apple Keyboard at any time YOU STAY IN CONTROL Protexter does not scrape chats or silently read conversations. Third-party AI processing, conversation context, and automatic linked-contact memory are separate controls that are off by default. Sensitive details in shared conversation context can be redacted before an AI request, and saved context can be cleared at any time. Whether you are confirming plans, following up at work, setting a boundary, fixing an awkward draft, or keeping a conversation moving, Protexter helps you send a message that sounds natural and true to what you meant. SUBSCRIPTION Protexter Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Monthly and annual options are available, and the price is shown in the app before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. New installs can try Protexter free for 7 days or 100 AI actions, whichever comes first, with no card needed. That free week is not an App Store trial and never turns into a charge by itself.

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Protexter at none against OmniFocus 4's 10. Protexter also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.2). OmniFocus 4's advantage is device support (5 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
