AI text analysis — know how your message will land before you send it
ToneMate's Analyze feature uses AI to evaluate any text before you send it — checking tone, intent, clarity, emotional register, and potential risks. It tells you how a message is likely to be perceived by your audience: whether it sounds too aggressive, too passive, ambiguous, or inconsistent with your intended meaning. This works directly in any macOS app, so you can analyze and immediately edit without switching tools.
This is particularly powerful for high-stakes communication: a performance review email that needs to be direct but not harsh, a customer complaint response that needs to be empathetic but clear, a public statement that needs to land well with different audiences, or a sales email that needs to feel warm without being pushy. The AI gives you a diagnosis, not just a correction.
After reviewing the analysis, you can chain directly to Rewrite to apply the recommended tone changes, or to Proofread to clean up the language. All models supported — local Ollama or MLX models for privacy, or cloud AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google for more nuanced analysis.

Everything you need to know about AI text analysis on Mac
What does ToneMate's Analyze feature actually check?
ToneMate analyzes: tone (formal, casual, aggressive, empathetic, passive), sentiment (positive, neutral, negative), clarity (is the message easy to understand?), intent alignment (does the message convey what you mean?), potential risks (phrases that could be misinterpreted, compliance risks, or cultural sensitivities), and audience fit (is the language appropriate for your target reader?).
Will it automatically change my text?
No. Analyze is a diagnostic tool — it gives you a report with insights and recommendations, but does not modify your text. You decide what to do with the feedback. If you want to apply changes, you can chain to Rewrite or Proofread with one click.
Can it analyze text in languages other than English?
Yes. ToneMate supports tone and risk analysis in multiple languages including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and more. The AI understands cultural and linguistic nuances specific to each language.
Is AI analysis good for internal communication too?
Yes. It's particularly useful for internal messages where tone mismatches can cause tension: performance reviews, feedback to direct reports, escalation emails, or cross-team coordination where clarity is critical.
Does it replace human review?
No — and it doesn't try to. AI analysis is a second opinion that surfaces things you might have missed when writing. It's especially useful when you're too close to a sensitive message to be objective. Final judgment is always yours.
Does it work in any macOS app?
Yes. ToneMate works system-wide via a global keyboard shortcut. Select any text in Mail, Slack, Notion, Pages, Safari, or any macOS app and run Analyze instantly — no need to paste into a separate tool.
