What is Steer?

Steer is a macOS writing assistant that uses OpenAI's GPT to rewrite and improve text directly within your existing applications. You select text in any app, email, Slack, browser, or document editor, and Steer offers instant rewrites to improve clarity, tone, and professionalism. The tool is designed for professionals who need to communicate effectively without switching between applications. It works with a privacy-first approach, meaning your text isn't stored persistently on Steer's servers. The application includes account management, usage tracking, and billing features for teams or individuals using the tool regularly.
