ClipWise
ClipWise is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that enhances the clipboard with AI-powered actions. It allows users to instantly improve any copied text without switching applications. By pressing a shortcut, users can run actions like rewrite, summarize, translate, and OCR directly on their clipboard content, with the result pasted back in place. The tool is designed for seamless, system-wide use across almost any app or website. ClipWise integrates managed AI, so no separate API key or subscription is required—users simply sign in with an email. It offers a clipboard history and 13 one-click actions, including text rewriting, expanding, summarization, translation (21 languages), clarification, fact-checking, structuring, action-item extraction, shortening, and draft reply. For images, it provides OCR, image description, and screenshot summarization. A voice-to-text feature transcribes speech, which can then be fed into any text action. The free tier includes 10 AI actions per day and unlimited clipboard history. Paid plans unlock up to 10,000 actions per month, and a BYO-AI option allows users with their own API keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama) to have unlimited actions for an annual fee. ClipWise is particularly built around the needs of non-native English speakers, making it effective for anyone who writes regularly.

Problem solved
ClipWise solves the friction of improving text while working across applications. It eliminates the need to switch to separate AI tools or chatbots for rewriting, summarizing, translating, or extracting text from images.
