Echoo commands are designed to improve clarity, grammar, and translation while preserving your tone, meaning, and intent. You can edit every command prompt to control how your writing changes.

Yes. Your first 10 credits are included with no API key or card. Pro starts at $6.99/month, or you can keep using Echoo free with your own provider key.

It depends on the mode you choose. Local models process writing on your Mac. Cloud modes send each request to the selected AI provider under that provider’s data policy.

Download Echoo, move it to your Applications folder, open it, and grant Accessibility permission when macOS asks.
