butbetter requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer.
Download the .dmg file, open it, and drag the butbetter app into your Applications folder. Launch the app and grant the permissions when prompted. That's it — you're good to go!
butbetter needs accessibility permissions to copy your selected text, transform it, and paste it back — that's essentially all the app does. Unfortunately, macOS doesn't offer more granular permissions for just copy/paste, so we have to request full accessibility access.
Stop worrying about typos, grammar, and how you sound.
Let butbetter handle it for you.
