Fluent is a handy AI writing assistant for macOS. Write smarter in any app, generate replies on Slack and Mail, fix grammar, translate, and more. Supports customizable actions with shortcuts, image handling, OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter and local models.
🪄 Have you ever wanted to instantly refine formatted content in Slack, Notion, Mail, or any other app? Say you have a formatted report with a bunch of headings, lists, links, etc. – and you want to refine its style, tone, grammar, or add a bunch of details with a single shortcut? Now there's a solution for that.
I'm thrilled to announce Fluent – the true macOS Apple Intelligence replacement. It's an AI-powered floating Smart Panel I've poured months of effort into, driven by a personal need to streamline my multilingual skills. Fluent has some spirit in mind – it's built to organically fit into your workflow. Not distract you.
🔋 Fluent is built with power users in mind, offering a native macOS experience. Fast and fluid. It boasts some pretty handy features like customizable hotkey shortcuts and an "Auto Insert" feature that lets you instantly insert or replace text in any app.
🔥 The powerful Smart Panel will either follow your mouse when called, or it can also be pinned anywhere on screen, and minimized to a small "pill" that stays there ready for action!
💪 With over 30 bundled actions, the ability to create your own custom actions with custom shortcuts and variables, as well as support for image/screenshot attachments, Fluent is designed to adapt to your needs. Furthermore, it supports local MLX models (Apple Silicon Macs only), allowing you to run them directly without external tooling, alongside support for OpenAI, Google, and OpenRouter providers with encrypted API keys.
Highlights: ✅ Fast & Fluid (it's a native macOS app) ✅ Customizable Hotkey Shortcuts for Actions ✅ Instant Automatic Insert Feature ✅ 30+ Bundled & Custom Actions with Variables ✅ Image & Screenshot Attachment Support ✅ Local (MLX) Model Support ✅ OpenAI, Google, OpenRouter Provider Integration ✅ Encrypted API Keys stored in Keychain ✅ Freemium Model with Lifetime Unlock Option ✅ No Data or Telemetry Collection ✅ App Store Distribution with Family Sharing (1 purchase for up to 5 family members)

Really impressed how Fluent lets you use AI writing tools in any macOS app, that's a pretty cool feature—well done to the team for making this so flexible!
This looks awesome — a great collection of AI tools that are easily accessible in a well-designed package!
I appreciate that I can bring my own keys or run local models — and I would like it even better if I could connect to @LM Studio or @Ollama since I've already downloaded some hefty models and would prefer to not do so again.
Will support for MCPs be added?
