Modes are the fastest way to make the Writing Assistant feel personal instead of generic. Snaply ships with useful defaults, and then lets you tune, reorder, disable, or extend them.

​
Built-In Modes

ModeWhat it does
GrammarCorrects grammar, spelling, and punctuation without trying to rewrite the meaning.
PolishImproves clarity, flow, and tone while staying close to the original voice.
TranslateTranslates selected text into your target language.
Custom RequestOpens chat so you can type your own instruction.
The quick translation menu surfaces common languages, and you can set a default target language in Settings -> Writing Assistant.

​
Custom Modes

Custom modes let you save repeated instructions as reusable tools. Examples:
  • “Format as Linear Ticket”
  • “Convert to JSON”
  • “Fix code indentation”
  • “Shorten for Slack”
  • “Rewrite as customer-friendly release note”
From Assistant Modes, you can:
  • Reorder modes
  • Enable or disable modes
  • Edit built-in prompts
  • Assign custom shortcuts
  • Create brand new modes

​
Instant vs Chat

StyleBest for
Instantgrammar fixes, polishing, translation, stable formatting jobs
Chatnegotiation with the text, follow-ups, edge cases, open-ended work
Grammar, Polish, and Translate are usually instant. Custom Request is chat-first by design. Your own custom modes can behave like quick, repeatable actions when their instructions are specific enough.

​
Shortcut Behavior

  • The top nine enabled modes automatically get default shortcuts such as Control + Space + 1.
  • If you assign a custom shortcut to a mode, that custom shortcut is shown instead of the numbered default for that mode.
That setup makes reordering matter in a useful way: the modes you use most can sit at the top and get the fastest key path.
