Been working in Japan for a few years now.

My Japanese is solid but I still catch myself writing something in LINE or Teams, then opening ChatGPT in a browser tab, pasting the text, asking it to rewrite in keigo, copying back, closing the tab.

Every. Single. Day.

Got fed up and built a small Windows tool for myself. Select any text in any app, press a hotkey, and a small popup appears, rewrite in formal Japanese, translate to English, suggest a reply. Done in 5 seconds without leaving the app.

Been using it for a few months and genuinely can't go back to the tab-switching workflow.

Anyone else have this problem or is it just me? Curious if this would be useful to others or if I'm the only one with this specific pain.
