Pagemaxxer is a Safari Web Extension and iMessage extension that rewrites any article or text into slang, powered by Apple Intelligence running entirely on your device. Pick a style, tap one button, and watch paragraphs transform on the page. ELEVEN SLANG STYLES - Gen Alpha (2020s+) — "Skibidify" your text with brainrot-era lingo - Gen Z (2010s-2020s) — no cap - 90s / Millennial — Buzz your articles with da bomb slang - Totally 80s / Gen X — Radify anything into gnarly, tubular prose - Flower Power (1960s-70s) — Groove out with far-out hippie speak - 1950s Greaser — Cruise through text like a real gone daddy-o - Roaring '20s Flapper — Jazzify your reading, it's the bee's knees - Southern Drawl — Y'all-ify any page with down-home charm - Shakespearean — Bard your text into iambic elegance, forsooth - Pirate Speak — Plunder articles like a scurvy sea dog - British Slang — Gobsmack your pages into proper Brit speak HOW IT WORKS Pagemaxxer intelligently detects the main article content on any webpage, skipping navigation, ads, and sidebars. It transforms each paragraph one by one, showing a live progress indicator as it goes. Transformed paragraphs are highlighted with a purple accent so you can see exactly what changed. In iMessage, Pagemaxxer has a text box you can type or paste into and convert any text you like. Two ways to transform: - "Transform This Page" rewrites text directly on the webpage you're reading - "Transform All & Show Results" opens a dedicated page that streams every paragraph with a visual progress bar CUSTOM TEXT Not browsing? Open the Pagemaxxer app and use the Custom Text tab to paste or type any text, choose your slang style, and transform it instantly. Copy the result with one tap. 100% PRIVATE AND ON-DEVICE Pagemaxxer uses Apple Intelligence and the on-device Foundation Models framework. Your text is never sent to any server. All processing happens locally on your iPhone or iPad. REQUIREMENTS - iPhone 15 Pro or later, or iPad with M1 chip or later - iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 or later - Apple Intelligence must be enabled in Settings
