Top Rated Kerlig Alternatives
Kerlig is an awesome AI aid for text-based work: write, rewrite, summarize, explain, extend, translate text literally at your fingertips in any macOS app or the OS itself.
It integrates a variety of GenAI LLMs (Generative AI Large Language Models) like ChatGPT, Claude, Llama3, Mixtral, etc. via your own API key(s), so you can decide what model you use for your specific purpose. You can even switch tonality and define your own system prompts to better fit your needs.
Installation is "mac-like" super easy, and meanwhile, I use it daily for nearly any text-based work. The documentation is very good, and support in case of questions is really quick.
A big plus is also the fact that it comes as a one-time-payment app. No recurring fees! The only thing you pay for after purchase are the tokens you use via the API(s) of your AI service provider(s). Great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Really not much to say on this side of the medal. It already brings all the functionality I need.
The one thing missing is perhaps the integration of local open-source LLMs, e.g., via Ollama. But since Kerlig is a quite "young" app, I'm sure this is already on the wishlist or even already in the making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's incredibly convenient. Everything modern AI has to offer is right at your fingertips. The option to create personalized presets is a huge advantage. Instead of navigating to a specific webpages to access
various AI tools, I can simply use one shortcut and bam AI! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't think of something but I'm required to fill out this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since using Kerlig, switching between my operating system and browser has become much more efficient (you know the pain of all the back-and-forth work between any app and the browser, right?). Available shortcuts are super handy and easy to grasp after a few uses. I highly recommend trying it – I think you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Plus, the customer support team has been exceptional.

Adding a "Recents" section or history feature might be a cool addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use and seamless integration is a huge win feature for this product. I can easily fix all of my typos while I'm at it, without the risk of being swollen by unnecessarily opened windows. Kerlig comes exactly where you need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Onboarding process has its non-design flaws – you've got to have access to model APIs. As not that much of a technical person, I'd love simple login or access provided by Kerlig. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kerlig is an amazing AI writing assistant that works perfectly on macOS. It makes tasks like fixing grammar, translating text, and summarizing articles incredibly easy. As a non-native speaker, I find it especially helpful for improving my writing. The one-time payment is a big plus, and the ability to use different AI models gives me plenty of options. It’s fast, stable, and allows for custom settings. Kerlig is already a fantastic tool that I highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Integration with openrouter.ai would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is an app that covers all my needs for mac. just select and iimprove the text, translate it, make shorter...or just ask... Rapid prgress and easy to chat with the owner for feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'd love to have more that one window open when pinned! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes you get a mental block whilst writing, Kerlig fixes that by putting AI features at your fingertips. Get unblocked in seconds with the power of OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemma. Nobody likes reading an entire article to find a small snippet of information, so website/article summaries are a real time saver too. Customer support I haven't used, but Jarek is very active on X, so I forsee no issues there, and it's insanely easy to setup too with it's multi-step process. There are also no advertisements within the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not necessarily a dislike, but I think it would be cool to expand past writing/summaries and integrate even more AI features such as Vision for a broader range of users to utilise Kerlig. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Kerlig blends in macOS and mots of my apps. Its design looks simple for the users, but it is very efficient.
It progress slowly but steady too, with goor functions, for reeally daily work. I can use local models with Ollama. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For now, almost nothing to dislike, I can remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy it is to use. Keyboard interactions are very intuitive, and overall the experience is very fast and responsive. I love that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was slightly surprised that I had to set up and connect my OpenAI account with tokens for it to work. I wish that this piece of information was more prominent on the Kerlig's website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easily accessible and simple to use with no unnecessary features. Using it daily as advertised saves you the hassle of revisiting the chatGPT website, especially for generating email responses or fact-checking quickly. After submitting a feature request, the issue I encountered was resolved in less than a day. Customer Support is more than good, it's awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing, to be honest, the app does what it advertises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a non-native speaker, this tool is incredibly useful for me. It allows me to fix my grammar, translate, or rephrase text instantly with just a keyboard shortcut. The tool is well-designed, fast, and stable. Another major advantage is the ability to create custom presets. Customer support is also awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing so far. The app delivers on its promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
