Use Writing Tools

Write smarter in apps like Pages, Notes, Mail and Messages

- DAVID CROOKES

WHETHER YOU'RE STRUGGLING with some prose, finding writing a chore, looking for the right tone, or hoping to organize your words into something more digestible, Apple's new Writing Tools are sure to help.

Thanks to Apple Intelligence, these tools let you proofread, rewrite and summarize text, enabling you to communicate more effectively. You'll find it available in Apple apps such as Notes, Mail, Pages and Messages, as well as in many third-party apps and online services, such as Gmail and LinkedIn. One Ctrl-click is all you need to discover whether it's at hand.

Here we show you how to get the most out of all that Writing Tools has to offer right now, but bear in mind that Apple is continuing to make improvements. As of December, with macOS 15.2 (Sequoia), you've been able to describe specific changes you want to make to text - such as "summarize the text in five sentences" ― and get ChatGPT to write text for you, drawing upon a world of knowledge.
