What is WriteMage?
WriteMage is the only AI app you need that integrates ChatGPT natively into macOS and iOS devices. It works as a context-aware assistant that floats on top of any macOS application like Apple Spotlight, eliminating the need to copy and paste text between apps. The app features memory functionality that remembers what you're discussing within a session and provides relevant responses accordingly.
Key features include local chat history saving with labels so you can continue conversations from yesterday, a Prompt Editor GUI for customizing and creating your own prompts, and native iOS keyboard integration that works across every app in the App Store. WriteMage supports both Intel and Apple Silicon macOS devices (macOS 12+) and allows users to provide their own OpenAI API key for unlimited word usage.
WriteMage is designed for macOS and iOS users who want to boost productivity across all their applications without switching between apps. It's ideal for writers, professionals, students, and anyone who uses ChatGPT regularly for emails, documents, content creation, essays, blogs, and general writing tasks across Google Docs, Notion, Word, and 100,000+ other apps.

Frequently asked questions about WriteMage
What's WriteMage privacy policy?
WriteMage places high value on your privacy. When the app is running and you use your own API key, it only connects to the OpenAI server. The developer has decided not to include Telemetry, even in beta. At app launch, it checks for version updates, but this only happens during launch and no data is transferred back to the developer's server.
It's free right now. Why should I subscribe today?
When the app exits beta, your subscription period will begin. If you subscribe for one year, the counting starts from when the app exits beta, not from today. Additionally, you keep your low price for the lifetime of your subscription.
If I subscribe using a discount today, will the pricing change in the next month?
No. As an early user, you'll be grandfathered into this low price for life. The discount price remains locked for your subscription.
What is the rationale behind this pricing?
AI apps are ridiculously expensive - $19/month for email answers or $300+/month for copywriting. WriteMage aims to be accessible at a reasonable price. ChatGPT Plus costs $20/month, so WriteMage is priced at $15.99/month. Even if you use up to 10,000 words per day, the API won't cost more than $2.
How many devices can be used per license?
You can use it on two devices with the Basic plan or four devices with the Personal plan. This covers both work and personal devices.
Is it possible to edit the preset prompts?
Definitely. You can edit prompts to your liking and also add your own prompts using the Prompt Editor GUI.
Can I use my own OpenAI API key?
Yes, both plans allow you to provide your own OpenAI API key. With your own API key, you have no word limit with WriteMage. The Personal plan also offers API management by WriteMage including 750,000 words monthly.
Does WriteMage work on Windows or Linux?
No, WriteMage is only available for macOS (12+, Intel and Apple Silicon) and iOS devices. It does not support Windows or Linux operating systems.
What happens when the beta ends?
When beta ends, the final version is released and your subscription period begins. You'll need to use your own OpenAI API key to continue using the app unless you chose the Personal plan where WriteMage manages the API for you.
How does the iOS keyboard integration work?
WriteMage is integrated natively with the iOS keyboard and works across every app in the App Store. An in-app purchase to use your own API key in the WriteMage iOS app costs $25, but you can get it free with the subscription or lifetime deal.
