# Apple Intelligence

Markify uses Apple Intelligence on your Mac: the system **Writing Tools** and Apple's on-device language model. Your text isn't sent to a server, and every change waits for you to keep it.

> [!NOTE]
> Apple Intelligence needs a Mac with Apple silicon and Apple Intelligence turned on in **System Settings › Apple Intelligence & Siri**. On other Macs, Markify works the same without these features. If the model is still downloading, Markify says “Preparing on-device model…”.

On **macOS 15.6 Sequoia**, the format bar and whole-document menu offer system **Proofread** and **Rewrite**. These open Writing Tools. Custom prompts, tone shortcuts, generation at the caret, title and tag suggestions, and Links panel summaries require **macOS 26 or later**, which provides the Foundation Models framework.

## Working on a selection

Select text and click the Apple Intelligence symbol at the left of the format bar, or press **⇧⌘W**:

- **Describe your change** in your own words and press Return.
- **Proofread** and **Rewrite** open the system Writing Tools.
- **Friendly**, **Professional** and **Concise** rewrite the selection in that tone.
- **Summary**, **Key Points**, **List** and **Table** turn the selection into that form.

## Working on the whole document

Click the Apple Intelligence symbol at the top right of the window to:

- describe a change to the whole document,
- proofread or rewrite it,
- **Summarize** it in a paragraph at the top,
- add a **Key points** section,
- **Suggest title & tags**, which fills in the frontmatter,
- **Continue writing** at the caret.

## Generating at the caret

On an empty line, press **⌘↩** (or type `/write`) to have Apple Intelligence continue from what you've written. The text streams in dimmed; press **⌘↩** again to keep it, or Escape to discard it. Choose the tone and whether the surrounding section is used as context in **Settings › Intelligence**.

## Reviewing changes

Rewritten text appears inside a multicolor edge. **Compare** it with the original, **Try Again**, **Discard Rewrite**, or **Accept** it. ⌘Z undoes an accepted change.

In OKF concepts, **Settings › Intelligence › Record AI edits in OKF concepts** also covers system Writing Tools. When its session ends with changes to the concept's body, Markify records Apple Intelligence as the producer. Discarding all changes leaves attribution unchanged.
