Select text in any app, press a shortcut, and put the result back where the text was, or use its window. No account, no cloud service, no usage data, and no internet once the model is downloaded: nothing you write leaves the machine. **Fix and improve your writing** * **Proofread** – fixes spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Every change is shown, and each one has its own Undo, so you keep control of the final text. * **Change tone** – rewrites a text as Natural, Professional, Polite, Friendly, Casual, Confident, Concise, Elaborate, Social post, or Emojify, keeping every name, date, number, and the original language and script. * **Natural tone** – strips the habits of AI writing (hype, stock phrases, long dashes, lists of three) so a draft reads like a person wrote it, with every fact kept. * **Summarize** – the point of a long email, document, or message. * **Format** – lays plain text out as bullet points, a table, an email, or Markdown (headings, numbered steps, code marks, tables) ready to paste into GitHub, Notion, or Obsidian. * **Translate** – into English, Hindi, Hinglish, and 20 more languages, written the way people use the language today. **Reply and write for you** * **Smart reply** – three quick replies to a message you received: thanks, wishes, news, and questions are answered for what they say. * **Full reply** – a complete email or chat reply from a few words of yours. * **Write** – an email, a message, a social media post, or a note from a short description. * **My actions** – your own instructions, saved as actions of their own and used like the built-in ones. **Works where you write** * **Over any app** – a global shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Space by default) opens a popup on the selected text and pastes the result back. Works on KDE Plasma (Wayland and X11); GNOME support is in progress. * **In its own window** – paste or type, pick an action (Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+8), copy the result. The window works on every desktop. * **Optional history** – off by default. If you turn it on, it is encrypted with a key kept in your keyring. * **Starts with your session** – optional autostart, so the shortcut is ready after login. **Private by design** * Open models (Google Gemma 4) run locally through llama.cpp on your CPU, or GPU where supported. * The model is downloaded once from its maker, at a fixed version, and checked against its published hash before use. Downloading a model is the only time Paraphrase goes online. * No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting. **Choose a model for your computer** The first run offers the models that fit your machine, and you can add, remove, or switch models any time in Settings: * **Fast** – Gemma 4 E2B, 3.4 GB download, runs on 5 GB of memory. * **Quality** – Gemma 4 E4B, 5.2 GB download, needs 8 GB and writes better replies and drafts. --- ## Install Paraphrase - offline AI writing on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
