Shortkit is a macOS app for fixing, translating, shortening, and extracting text from images with keyboard shortcuts inside the app you’re using.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-06 issue.

For: Mac users who repeatedly edit or translate text
Worth noticing: The demos use ⌥ twice plus a letter; selecting text in an image uses ⇧ twice instead.

Field notes

The examples show text being selected in a message or email and transformed without leaving the current app. For image text, the page shows a different shortcut and a region-selection step. Custom actions are described as either a plain-language instruction to the AI or a small JavaScript function; the page also suggests copying code to ChatGPT for help writing it.
