# Lightphrase

> A desktop writing utility that rewrites selected text in place.

Lightphrase is published by Mason Solutions. Highlight text in any editable field, press Win+Ctrl+R, sweep the wheel, and the selection is replaced where it sits. Reply copies a response instead of overwriting the selection.

## How it works

1. Highlight text in any editable field (Gmail, Slack, Word, Notion, Teams, VS Code, or a browser form).
2. Press and hold Win+Ctrl+R. The wheel opens on the pointer.
3. Sweep toward Retone, Translate, Summarize, Fix Grammar, or Reply.
4. Release. Rewrites replace the selection in place and restore the clipboard. Reply copies a response and leaves the selection unchanged.

Skip the wheel with Win+Ctrl+Shift+R to retone immediately with the active tone.
