What is Ethertext?

Ethertext is a macOS clipboard utility that applies AI‑driven transformations to copied text using models from OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, or local Ollama deployments. It offers one‑click copy (⌘C), transform (dropdown), and paste (⌘V) shortcuts, plus quick commands such as ⌘⇧T to clean text, ⌘⇧M to memorize content, and ⌘⇧R to recall previous items.

Users can add API keys for cloud models or enable MLX on‑device AI for privacy‑focused processing on Apple Silicon. The app supports dictation (⌘⇧D), screen capture (⌘⇧S) with OCR, and multi‑monitor screenshots, all integrated into the menu bar. Custom prompts and model‑quality settings allow writers, developers, and researchers to adjust tone, style, or code assistance.
