Promptix alternatives

Promptix runs AI text actions such as translating, rewriting, fixing grammar and summarizing on selected text in Mac apps, and can save prompts as launchable apps. It offers a free tier, Ollama support and bring-your-own API keys. When choosing an alternative, weigh platform support (Promptix is macOS-only), whether a free tier matters, and whether you need prompt launchers or broader features such as dictation, clipboard tools or cross-platform use.
