Knowritely is the AI keyboard that fixes, improves, and translates your writing — right inside any app. No copy-pasting into ChatGPT. No switching between tabs. Just tap one button and your message reads the way you wanted it to. WHAT KNOWRITELY DOES • Fix — Cleans up typos, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization without changing your voice. Perfect for the message you typed in a hurry. • Improve — Rewrites your draft to be clearer, warmer, and more polished. Choose the tone, set custom instructions, and Knowritely matches it. • Translate — Type in your language, send it in theirs. Works in 30+ languages, with translation built directly into Improve so a single tap can fix and translate at once. WORKS EVERYWHERE YOU TYPE Messages. Mail. Slack. Notes. WhatsApp. LinkedIn. X. Safari. Anywhere iOS lets you bring up a keyboard, Knowritely is one tap away. No special integrations, no extensions to install per app. PREVIEW BEFORE YOU SEND Every Fix / Improve / Translate result shows up as a preview card above the keyboard. Tap Replace to commit, tap Undo to revert, or keep editing. You stay in control — Knowritely never sends anything for you. CUSTOM INSTRUCTIONS Tell Knowritely how you write. "Keep it casual." "British English." "Always sign off with my first name." Custom instructions apply to every Improve, so the output sounds like you, not like a generic AI. PRIVACY-FIRST KEYBOARD Knowritely only sends text to our servers when you explicitly tap Fix, Improve, or Translate. Nothing is logged for training. We never read what you type passively, and Allow Full Access is only used to make those AI calls — exactly what Apple's keyboard guidelines require. PRICING Free to try with a daily allowance. Pro and Unlimited plans unlock higher limits, faster models, and priority quality on long passages. Subscriptions auto-renew through your Apple ID and can be cancelled anytime in Settings. WHO IT'S FOR • Non-native English writers who want to sound natural in professional settings • Native speakers tired of re-reading their own typos • Anyone who messages, emails, or DMs across languages • People who'd rather think about what to say than how to phrase it Knowritely turns "let me fix this real quick" into a single tap. — Terms of Use: https://knowritely.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://knowritely.com/privacy Support: https://knowritely.com/support
