Plume is the keyboard that writes with you. Type anywhere, then tap the feather: Claude — the AI by Anthropic — rewrites your words in the tone you choose, translates them into eleven languages, or distills a wall of text into its essence. Without leaving the app you're in. A TRULY NATIVE KEYBOARD • QWERTY and AZERTY layouts • Smart autocorrect that detects the language you're writing — switch between English and French mid-sentence and Plume follows • Auto-capitalization, double-space period, caps lock, key preview, long-press accents (é, è, ê…) • Haptic feedback and key clicks • A refined light and dark theme — no clutter, no emoji row CLAUDE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS • Six tones: Professional, Warm, Confident, Concise, Casual, Persuasive • Translate: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tamil, Tamil • Summarize long drafts into the essential • Preview every rewrite before it replaces your text — one tap to undo PRIVATE BY DESIGN Plume never logs your keystrokes. Text is sent to Claude only when you tap a rewrite action — nothing runs in the background. Demo Mode works fully offline. FAIR PRICING • Free: 10 AI rewrites a day • Plume Pro: unlimited rewrites — subscription, monthly or yearly • Solo Mode: one small one-time unlock to bring your own Anthropic API key Write once.
