Who it's for

  • Mac users who want to use ChatGPT while working in other macOS apps instead of copying text into a separate chat window.
  • iOS users who want AI assistance through a keyboard available across apps.
  • Users who want to continue earlier AI conversations or tailor prompts for recurring writing tasks.

Not the right fit if…

  • Teams that need a Windows, Linux, or Android app: the supplied page lists macOS and iOS versions, but does not list apps for those platforms.

How it fits your workflow

Install the macOS app or iOS version. On macOS, invoke WriteMage while working in another app; it floats above the app and provides ChatGPT access with session context.

Use the iOS keyboard integration to access WriteMage in iOS apps. Chat history is saved locally with labels, so earlier conversations can be found and continued.

Edit preset prompts or add your own in the prompt editor. Users can provide an OpenAI API key, or select a plan with managed or included usage.

Frequently asked questions

What does WriteMage do with user data?

The site says that when users provide their own API key, the app connects only to the OpenAI server. It says WriteMage does not include telemetry. At launch, the app checks for version updates, and the site says no data is transferred back to its server during that check.

When does a subscription period begin?

The site says the subscription period begins when the app exits beta, rather than on the date a user subscribes during beta.

Can preset prompts be edited?

Yes. The site says users can edit preset prompts and add their own.

How many devices does a license support?

The Basic plan supports two devices and the Personal plan supports four devices.

Can users avoid a subscription?

The site offers a one-time lifetime deal that includes the macOS and iOS apps. It says that after beta, users must use their own OpenAI API key to continue using the app under that deal.
