Discord-first screen text

Draw a rectangle. Correct or translate the words inside.

Discord's composer and message history do not always behave like a document editor, especially when you need one exact sentence or a quick translation. Built-in selection, spelling, and translation behavior also varies by app, surface, language, and context. Press Qelvora's global shortcut and a precise rectangle follows your mouse.

  1. 01
    Press the shortcut

    Qelvora immediately opens the screen-area selector over the app in front of you.

  2. 02
    Draw the rectangle

    Drag around exactly the draft, message, code comment, or visible words you need.

  3. 03
    Process it locally

    Local OCR reads the area, then your Ollama model corrects or translates the recognized text.

Prefer normal selection? Highlight editable text and use Correct selection from Qelvora's menu bar or macOS Services. Both modes remain available.

One rectangular fallback

For visible text across familiar chat and work apps.

Use the same capture path when normal text selection is awkward. Qelvora complements each app's own language tools; it does not claim to replace them.

Why Qelvora

A local LLM correction layer designed for actual Mac workflows.

01

Works where you write

Use Qelvora from browsers, notes, editors, chat apps, and other macOS surfaces.

02

Local by design

Your selected text is corrected by a local LLM through Ollama on your Mac, not by a hosted writing service.

03

Built for difficult apps

Services, clipboard, Accessibility, and OCR fallback help capture text reliably.

Recommended for

A serious writing utility for sensitive workflows.

Founders and operators

Clean customer replies, investor updates, and internal notes without moving drafts into a hosted editor.

Developers and builders

Keep GitHub issues, support answers, and release notes polished while staying inside your local tools.

Privacy-first teams

Use local Ollama models when a cloud correction service is not appropriate for the text in front of you.

Workflow

Frame or select. Correct. Use.

1

Choose your capture mode

Press the global shortcut for a mouse-drawn rectangle, or highlight editable text for Correct selection.

2

Capture exactly what matters

Drag around the visible words, or send the highlighted selection from the menu bar or macOS Services.

3

Run locally

Local OCR reads a rectangle; highlighted text skips OCR. Your Ollama model then corrects, rewrites, or translates.

4

Use the result

Review the output and place the clean version back into your workflow.

Local-first

For drafts, customer replies, and notes that should stay yours.

Qelvora is intentionally built around local model inference. macOS permissions are used to capture text and support OCR fallback, not to move your writing into a remote correction pipeline.

Local model runtime Corrections and translations run through Ollama on your machine.
Transparent project The Swift source is public and MIT-licensed.
Flexible models Use recommended models, installed tags, or custom model names.

What is Qelvora?

Qelvora is a private local AI writing assistant and local spell checker for macOS. It corrects, rewrites, and translates selected text using Ollama models running on your Mac.

Is Qelvora a local grammar checker?

Yes. Qelvora can act as a local grammar checker and local LLM corrector for selected text, using installed Ollama model tags instead of a hosted writing service.

Does Qelvora send text to the cloud?

Qelvora is built around local model inference. The product is designed for workflows where drafts, customer replies, or internal notes should stay on the machine.

Which models work with Qelvora?

Qelvora uses installed Ollama model tags. Local writing workflows can use model families such as Gemma, Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, Mistral, Llama, and Phi.

Can Qelvora correct or translate text in Discord with OCR?

Yes. When normal text selection is awkward in Discord, draw a rectangle around visible text.

Who is Qelvora for?
