One small utility. Everywhere you write.
Stay in the app you are already using.
CueDraft reads the selection you explicitly make, keeps your source app frontmost, and opens a compact native HUD beside your work.
Ask
Choose an action, a saved preset, or write your own instruction.
Review
Edit the result, copy it, or replace the frozen source selection safely.
Quick Fix
The everyday correction is one keystroke.
Press the shortcut and CueDraft fixes the selected text, rechecks the exact source range, replaces it, and verifies the final text. If the target changed, your generated result stays safe in review.

Beyond proofreading
Use the action you need—or describe your own.
CueDraft is for transforming existing text and creating something new. The prompt is yours, not confined to a handful of writing fixes.
Fix
Correct grammar and clarity without changing your voice.
Rewrite
Find a sharper, warmer, shorter, or entirely new version.
Summarize
Turn long selections into the point you need.
Translate
Choose a language and keep the intended meaning.
Explain
Make dense writing understandable in its original context.
Create
Start from an empty cursor and ask for anything you want to write.
Make it yours
Save the instructions you reach for most.
Create custom presets directly from the workspace, find them quickly with search, and keep favorites close. A preset can define its instruction, where it applies, and how the result should be delivered.
- Add a preset without leaving the workspace
- Search built-in and custom presets
- Choose replace, insert, or copy behavior
Native by design
The real app—not a browser imitation.
These screens are exported deterministically from CueDraft itself. The compact HUD stays focused; the workspace and setup expand only when you ask for them.
Your provider, your choice
No CueDraft login. No API key form.
Use an Ollama server or the existing sign-in managed by Claude, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini CLI. Every CueDraft action starts a fresh provider request—previous prompts do not carry into the next one.

Your text goes only to the provider you choose.
CueDraft has no advertising, tracking cookies, third-party analytics, or writing-content collection. Optional anonymous product signals are coarse, can be disabled immediately in Settings, and never include what you select, type, prompt, or generate.
