Fixelect v1.4.2 — offline grammar fixes and polish in every app

Fixelect fixes and polishes the text you select, in any app, with an AI model that runs entirely on your computer. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.

What's new in 1.4.2

  • Faster, especially without a graphics card.
    • A fix right after a Polish no longer stalls: it used to take 5 seconds or more on a laptop processor (and up to 13 seconds in some cases), now about 1 second.
    • After a break, when Fixelect has freed the model's memory, the first fix is ready in about half the time. Fixelect now keeps its own instructions ready on disk, so it doesn't read them all again every time the model loads.
    • Everyday fixes are quicker too: up to a third faster on a processor, with less waiting around every fix.
  • Translate to Uzbek (beta). Uzbek is always listed under Translate. It needs the Gemma 4 E2B model; with another model, Fixelect tells you how to switch.

Fixes

  • Translating into Spanish, Italian and French failed with "Couldn't translate this" even though the translation was fine. Fixed, and texts that the AI used to hand back untranslated (for example from Spanish or Uzbek) are now translated.
  • Translations, Polish and your own actions no longer drop quotation marks you typed.
  • Choosing a model from the tray menu now really switches to it.
  • If the Polish preview failed to open, every shortcut stopped working until Fixelect was restarted. Fixed.
  • Uninstalling now also removes your History (your recent changes) and Fixelect's other data. Your downloaded models are still only removed if you say so.
  • History shows the right app for quick actions.
  • Closing Settings while a model downloads still switches to it when the download finishes.
  • Mac: the quick-action menu closes when you click somewhere else (it used to keep catching your typing), a large image on the clipboard no longer delays the shortcut, and Gemma 4 can no longer be mixed up with a small Qwen model installed by Ollama.

Download

  • Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit): FixelectSetup.exe
  • macOS 11+ (Apple Silicon): Fixelect.dmg

Each file has a .sha256 checksum next to it. Fixelect's built-in updater verifies it automatically.

First launch: if Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. On a Mac, if it says Fixelect can't be opened, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, or paste xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Fixelect.app && open /Applications/Fixelect.app into Terminal. Builds are signed automatically once the project has signing certificates.

Highlights

  • Fix (double-tap Alt / ⌥) keeps your voice; Polish (double-tap Ctrl on Windows, ⇧ Shift on Mac) shows a preview with Professional, Friendly, Concise, Formal and Shorter styles.
  • An on-screen card shows progress and results, with one-click Undo.
  • Formatting (bold, links, fonts) is kept in Word, Outlook, Google Docs and Gmail.
  • English plus Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian. Uzbek (beta) with the optional Gemma 4 model.
  • Turn Fixelect off for specific apps; terminals and password managers are off by default.
  • Frees the model's memory when idle; long text is processed in chunks you can cancel with Esc.
