SticAI Mac shortcut: $1.3K a month, self-reported in 2023 — one click for tone

SticAI is a Mac shortcut that fixes grammar, adjusts tone, translates, and works across writing apps. Its $1.3K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of September 2023.

What it actually sells

SticAI is a downloadable Mac app built around one writing shortcut. It fixes grammar, adjusts tone, translates, and works across email, Slack, Notion, Twitter, and code comments. The site describes the core promise as: “One shortcut to fix grammar, adjust tone, and translate. No copy-pasting. No app switching. Just better writing.”

How it charges

The site lists Free at $0 with 15 transforms/day, Pro at $9/month with 200/day, and Lifetime at $99 one-time with 333/day forever. It also says that subscriptions are not required. The pricing page labels Lifetime as “BEST VALUE” and Pro as being for heavy users.

Where customers come from

The site shows a downloadable Mac app and lists email, Slack, Notion, Twitter, and code comments as writing and collaboration surfaces where the shortcut works. It says, “Email, Slack, Notion, Twitter, code comments. One shortcut from any app”. The site also lists seven supported languages.

What stands out

The product combines grammar correction, tone switching, translation, and writing actions in one shortcut. Its site says it fixes grammar while preserving the writer’s voice and supports switching between professional and casual tones with one click. Users can save custom prompts and use their own API key.

Where it sits in the data

SticAI's $1.3K a month is higher than 45% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

In my view, demand would come from people who write in email, Slack, Notion, Twitter, and code comments and want writing help without switching applications. The buyer would be a Mac user who wants grammar correction, tone adjustment, translation, or repeated writing actions in existing workflows.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

SticAI packages a broad set of writing actions into one Mac shortcut, with free, monthly, and one-time pricing shown on its site.
