Smart Actions powered by Apple Intelligence
Rewrite, shorten, adjust tone, summarize, or explain selected text using Apple Intelligence and Foundation Models support when available.
Release Notes
OnEdit 3.0
OnEdit 3.0 adds Smart Actions for selected text, a movable editor toolbar, dirty-tab markers, and direct window sizing.
Review before replacing text
Generated Smart Actions open in a review sheet first, so the document changes only after you approve the replacement.
Movable editor toolbar
The editor toolbar now defaults to a cleaner right-side rail and can move to the right, left, top, or bottom edge from View > Toolbar Edge.
Dirty-tab markers
Unsaved tabs show an asterisk after the tab name, making changed documents easier to spot before you save.
Explicit window sizing
Window > Set Window Size... adds direct width and height controls for the active editor window.
Clear availability states
Smart Actions report unavailable, disabled, failed, and selection-size states clearly, leaving documents unchanged when model support is unavailable.
Smart Actions
Editing help, kept inside the macOS workflow.
- Tools menu, editor toolbar, context menu, and in-place selection access
- Rewrite, concise, friendly, professional, summarize, and explain actions
- On-device model workflow when Apple Intelligence support is available
