WritingTools

I posted this a while back, but there's been a major update — it now supports local LLMs, multiple cloud LLMs, code editing, chat mode, themes, dark mode, and more! As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple's Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. So, I created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows! It can use the free Gemini API, or a multitude of local LLMs via Ollama, llama.cpp, KoboldCPP, TabbyAPI, vLLM, etc. It's much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model! It works in any application with a customizable hotkey - Proofreads, rewrites, summarizes, and more - Free and privacy-focused (your API key stays local, no logging, no tracking, local model options, etc.) It's b

As a high school student, I love LLMs and the execution of Apple's Appel Intelligence Writing Tools, but was disappointed that nothing like that existed for Windows. So, I created Writing Tools, a better than Apple Intelligence open-source alternative that works system-wide on Windows! Key features: - Uses Google's Gemini 1.5 Flash model for superior AI-assisted writing (much better than the tiny 2B parameter Apple Intelligence model) - Works in any application with a customizable hotkey - Proofreads, rewrites, summarizes, and more - Free and privacy-focused (your API key stays local, no logging, no tracking, etc.) It's built with Python and PySide6, and I've made it easy to install with a pre-compiled exe. For the technically inclined, the well-documented source is available to run or modify. I'd love feedback from the HN community on bo
