uhh can you send the team uh the launch plan for tomorrow and like the metrics we talked about um yeah
Orater output
Can you send the team the launch plan for tomorrow, along with the metrics we discussed?
Works everywhere. Literally.
The Problem
Your keyboard is the bottleneck.
In 2026, you write across ten apps a day — to people, to AI, to your future self. The tool hasn’t changed since 1874.
10+ apps
Text-input contexts per day
Every app needs text.
Slack, email, ChatGPT, Notion, Jira, Docs, LinkedIn. Switching keyboards between them breaks your flow.
62%
Of prompts are rewritten
AI demands more text.
Good ChatGPT prompts are long. Typing them costs you minutes. Voice turns minutes into seconds.
How it works
Three seconds from thought to clean text.
One keystroke. No setup. No floating windows. Orater lives in your menu bar and disappears until you need it.

fn
Press Fn
