Description
WriteNative fixes typos as you type and checks grammar and tone in every Mac app: Mail, Slack, Notion, the browser. Every suggestion is explained in your own language, with pronunciation. Press ⌥ twice to write in your language and get natural English, or hold right ⌥ and just speak. Select a message to see what they meant, and rewrite any text to fit the place. Eleven languages, and it can run entirely on your Mac.

Could you build this?
No System-wide text replacement, input monitoring, global hotkey handling, and speech interception across macOS applications require deep native macOS Accessibility APIs, input method kit internals, and strict sandboxing management.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/Objective-C development leveraging macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement), CGEvent taps, and Input Method Kit (IMKit) to inspect and replace text across arbitrary applications. Real-time grammar and translation pipelines require local on-device small language models or streaming API connections, along with CoreAudio pipelines for system-level speech interception. The primary difficulty is achieving low-latency, glitch-free text manipulation without triggering macOS security blocks or app crashes across heterogeneous sandboxed apps.
