Ethertext: AI Clipboard for Smarter Text Editing
Ethertext turns your clipboard into an AI-powered productivity hub, transforming, debugging, and recalling text with a single shortcut.
Overview
Ethertext reimagines the humble clipboard as an intelligent workspace. Instead of just copying and pasting, you can instantly transform text with AI—adjusting tone, cleaning up formatting, or translating code—right from a simple dropdown or keyboard shortcut. It connects to leading AI providers like OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic, while also supporting Ollama for those who prefer running models locally for privacy or offline use.
Beyond transformation, Ethertext acts as an extended memory for your most important snippets, letting you memorize and recall text whenever you need it. It also doubles as a voice-to-text transcriber and a screenshot text extractor, pulling words straight off your screen. For developers, built-in code debugging and translation tools make switching between languages or fixing bugs effortless, all without leaving your current workflow.
Whether you're a writer polishing prose, a developer cleaning up code, or a student organizing research notes, Ethertext streamlines the tedious parts of working with text so you can focus on the actual thinking.
