Three seconds, start to send

Brevity works inside the compose window you already use. Nothing to copy, nothing to paste.

01

Write it long

Draft the way you think — rambling first passes are welcome. Brevity reads the whole thread for context.

02

Press ⌥⇧S

A concise version appears beside your draft, with every cut marked so you can see exactly what went.

03

Accept or adjust

Take the whole rewrite, keep single sentences, or nudge the tone warmer or firmer before you send.

Analytical by default

Every cut is measured, not guessed

Brevity scores each sentence for redundancy, hedging, and reading effort — then shows you the numbers behind the rewrite, for the email you're writing right now.

Redundancy

12 phrases cut

Hedging

6 softeners removed

Reading grade

11.4 → 7.8

Tone match

97% preserved

Built for people who send a lot of email

Shorten, not blunt

The rewrite keeps courtesy where it matters and drops it where it only adds length.

Tone presets

Direct, warm, formal, or your own saved voice — applied consistently across every draft.

Thread-aware

Reads the conversation above your draft so the shorter version still makes sense in context.

Visible diffs

Every removal is marked. Restore a sentence with one click if you disagree with the cut.

Keyboard-first

⌥⇧S to rewrite, Enter to accept. You never leave the compose window or touch the mouse.

Weekly digest

A short report on length, clarity, and response rates — so the habit compounds.

Privacy

Your drafts pass through. They never stay.

Text is processed for the length of one rewrite and discarded. No training on your mail, no reading of your inbox, no attachments touched. Independent security review is on the roadmap before general availability.
