Four ways to say it
Shorter, longer, more formal, more casual — one click gives you ~5 alternative phrasings of any translation.
BULWARK WORKS · DESKTOP AI HARNESS FOR LANGUAGE
Three agents.
One window.
Every language.
Paraphrase runs a translator, a grammar fixer and a streaming AI tutor side by side on your desktop — wired to your own OpenAI‑compatible model, with your keys in the OS keyring and every word stored locally.

How do I say “I’m running late” in Japanese?
You can say 遅れそうです (ōkure‑sō desu) — literally “it looks like I’ll be late”. Casual, to a friend: ごめん、ちょっと遅れそう！ Politely, to a coworker: 少し遅れてもいいですか.

02 DETAILS
Small things,
done properly.
History that answers back
Every result is saved locally. Click to restore it, retry a botched one, or clear everything behind a single confirm dialog.
Lives in your tray
Jump straight into Translate, Grammar or Tutor from the system tray. Open Paraphrase, or quit — that’s it.
Two full themes
Proper light and dark, persisted across restarts. Not a dimmed afterthought — a second, tuned palette.
One keystroke to copy
⌘/Ctrl + ⇧ + C grabs the current output from anywhere in the window.
Frameless & remembered
A custom title bar on a native window that remembers its size and position — down to the pixel.
03 YOUR MODEL
Bring your own intelligence.
Paraphrase speaks one dialect: the OpenAI‑compatible API. Point it at a hosted provider
or a model on localhost. The model list fills itself from /v1/models,
the key goes straight into your OS keyring, and a Test Connection button tells you
it works before you do.

04 PRIVACY
Your words never
leave your machine.
OS keyring
Your API key lives in the system credential manager — never in plain‑text config, logs, or error messages. Errors are redacted before they reach the screen.
Local SQLite
History and every chat session sit in a local database. No sync, no cloud, no account. Delete it and it’s gone — that’s the feature.
Nothing to leak
No telemetry, no analytics, no background requests. The only network traffic is you, talking to the model you chose.
0 bytes
uploaded, by design.

worth reading.
