Pressto

A one-shot text tool for macOS

The same rewrite.
Less ceremony.

Build a preset once—instructions, provider, and model. Call it from one shortcut. Prefer a lightning-fast host when you want the answer back immediately; pick a heavier model when the job needs more care.

Hey Sam, I just wanted to follow up and see if you had any thoughts on the proposal I sent over last week.

Hi Sam, do you have any thoughts on the proposal I sent last week?

Copied. Ready to paste.

The loop

Four moves.
Then back to work.

Pressto does not watch what you type or reach into other apps. You bring the text to a small panel, run one preset, then paste the result where it belongs.

  1. 01

    Press the shortcut

    A compact panel opens at your pointer, without taking over your workspace.

    ⌃⌥↩
  2. 02

    Drop in the text

    Paste or type only what you want transformed. Pressto never reads your pasteboard.

  3. 03

    Choose a preset

    Fix, shorten, translate, improve a prompt, or run instructions you wrote yourself.

  4. 04

    Paste the result

    Pressto copies only a completed result that changed the text. You stay in control of the final paste.

The actual panel

Small on purpose.

No sidebar, conversation, or timeline. Pressto gives the current transform just enough room, then disappears when you are done.

Presets, not prompts

Teach it once.
Reuse it anywhere.

A preset bundles a name, instructions, provider, and model. Start with the essentials, add bundled packs, or make a transform that matches how you actually write.

  • 01Speed when you need itPoint a preset at Groq or Cerebras for near-instant replies—fire the shortcut, get the result, paste, and move on.
  • 02Depth when it mattersThe same loop works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint when the job is harder and can take a little longer.
  • 03Your keys, shareable packsAPI keys stay in Keychain. Export preset packs as JSON with no secrets included.

Made for repetition

If you keep asking for it, make it a preset.

Privacy by behavior

Your text takes the shortest path.

With a cloud preset, text goes directly from your Mac to the provider you selected. Pressto has no account server in the middle.
