Live todayWhy it works
A clear PR description is the difference between a one-day review and a one-week review. Penwright makes that description cheap to write. Describe what changed, why it changed, how to test it, and let Penwright structure it for the reviewer.

Penwright writes
## What Fixes a signup bug where users with an apostrophe in their last name were rejected. ## Why The surname validation regex was too greedy and treated `'` as invalid. ## How to test 1. Sign up with last name `O'Brien` 2. Confirm account is created.
In the wild
Three moments in GitHub where Penwright pays for itself.
The quick reply
Press the hotkey, speak the reply, Penwright types it cleanly into the open GitHub window. Three seconds instead of three minutes.
The long-form message
Three minutes of speaking turn into a structured GitHub message, cleaned, with paragraphs, in the right tone. No typing cramp.
The recurring template
Save your GitHub standard replies as snippets, expand them by voice. The local dictionary learns your names, companies, acronyms.
Day one: setting Penwright up for GitHub.
- Install Penwright
macOS 13 or later. Grab the .dmg from the download page, drop it in Applications, open.
- Pick your hotkey
Default is ⌘⇧Space. If Spotlight is in the way, set a conflict-free shortcut right away.
- Seed your GitHub dictionary
Drop in the names, companies, codenames that show up in your daily GitHub threads. Penwright will get them right from day one.
- Dictate your first GitHub message
Open GitHub, click into a text field, hold the hotkey, speak. Release. The cleaned version lands in the field.
Frequently asked
- Does Penwright work in GitHub?
- Yes. Penwright types wherever your cursor lands in a text field, including GitHub. There's no separate GitHub integration; Penwright uses macOS' standard text insertion.
- Are my GitHub messages sent to the cloud?
- No. Transcription and cleanup run locally on your Mac (EuroLLM 1.7B with Metal). If you flip Settings → AI & Style to Claude or OpenAI, then yes, but only when you explicitly activate it, and a visible CLOUD badge stays on while it is.
- Does Penwright understand GitHub-specific jargon?
- Decent out of the box, perfect with your own dictionary. Add company names, people names, codenames once in Settings. Penwright will type them correctly into GitHub from that moment on.
- Do I need a fast internet connection?
- No. Once the models are installed, Penwright works offline. Ideal for travel, airports, long calls.
In GitHub, typing is the real tax.
Three to four times faster with voice. The math gets uncomfortable fast.
