Features
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Type Clean stays out of the way until you select text — then helps you rewrite, chat, and keep a consistent voice.
Personas & voice memory
Save tone rules, do/don't guidance, and writing samples so Type Clean writes like you — not a generic assistant.
Local-first & BYOK
Settings, prompts, and personas stay on your device. Use free on-device Gemini Nano, or bring your own API key.
Chat with any page
Ask questions about the page you're reading. Type Clean sends only the title, URL, and a redacted excerpt — never a full upload.
Prompt library
Save custom prompts and system prompts, organize them into folders, and reuse your best writing moves in one click.
Keyboard-first
Press Alt+W anywhere to open the assistant with your selection ready — write, chat, or ask about the page.
How it works
From rough draft to polished in seconds
Select text anywhere
Emails, docs, forms, social posts — highlight any text you're writing and the Type Clean toolbar appears. Or press Alt+W.
Pick an action
Improve writing, fix grammar, expand, shorten, go professional — or run one of your own saved prompts with your active persona.
Get your words back
The rewrite streams in instantly, matched to your voice. Review it, copy it, or replace your selection and keep writing.
Privacy
Your words never touch our servers
There are none. Type Clean has no backend, no account system, and no analytics. Your API keys live in Chrome's local storage on your device, and generation requests go directly from your browser to the provider you choose — or stay fully on-device with Gemini Nano.
- ✓ API keys stored locally, never synced, never in backups
- ✓ Direct browser-to-provider requests — no proxy in between
- ✓ Page excerpts are capped and secret-redacted before sending
- ✓ No telemetry, no ads, no data selling

FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Type Clean really free?
The core extension is free, no account required — use Chrome's built-in on-device Gemini Nano at no cost when your device supports it. Bringing your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible provider) requires a one-time $19 BYOK license, and Premium (hosted GPT/Claude/Gemini without managing keys) requires a subscription — both need a free Google sign-in so we can track your plan across devices.
What does "local-first" mean?
All your data — settings, prompts, personas, and API keys — is stored in Chrome's local storage on your device. Type Clean has no servers, no account system, and no analytics. Generation requests go straight from your browser to the model provider you choose.
What is a persona?
A persona is your saved voice: tone rules, do/don't guidance, and up to three writing samples. When active, every rewrite is guided by it so results sound like you instead of a generic AI.
Which sites does it work on?
Type Clean works in standard text fields, contenteditable editors, and same-origin iframes across the web — email, CMSs, forums, social sites. Google Docs' canvas editor is not supported in v1, and we say so up front rather than half-working.
Do you see my API keys or my text?
No. Keys are stored only on your device and are never included in backups or sync. Your text goes directly to the provider you selected — or nowhere at all if you use on-device Gemini Nano.
Does it work in other browsers?
Type Clean is Chrome-only in v1 (Manifest V3). Chromium-based browsers may work but aren't officially tested.
