💡 Concept

Improving text with AI shouldn't mean leaving what you're doing.

The usual flow is: select text → copy → open an AI chat → paste → write a prompt → wait → copy the result → go back → paste. Too many steps for something that should feel instant.

Quick Text collapses that into three: select any text, trigger a Raycast shortcut, pick an action. Everything runs locally through Ollama, so your text is processed fast, stays private, and never leaves your machine.

✨ Features

Feature	Description
✅ Fix Grammar	Correct spelling and grammar mistakes
🔁 Paraphrase	Rewrite text with different wording
🎚️ Change Tone	Adjust tone — formal, casual, professional, etc.
📝 Summarize	Condense longer text into a concise summary
🌐 Translate	Translate text into another language
🧠 Model Selector	Switch between any Ollama model you've pulled
📋 Copy & Paste Actions	Copy the result or paste it straight back

All processing happens locally via Ollama — your text never leaves your computer.

🚀 Quick Start

Note

Requires Raycast and Ollama running locally with at least one model pulled.

# 1. Pull a model (any Ollama model works)
ollama pull granite4:350m

# 2. Install dependencies and start the extension in Raycast
git clone https://github.com/Carloss616/quick-text.git
cd quick-text
npm install
npm run dev

Then select any text, open Raycast, run Quick Text, and pick an action.

⚙️ Preferences & advanced

Preference	Description	Default
Ollama Server URL	URL of your local Ollama instance	http://localhost:11434

Other scripts:

npm run build      # ray build -e dist
npm run lint       # ray lint
