Core Concepts
Rapidool isn't just a text editor. It's built around four native concepts that bring your text to life, securely and instantly.
@)Prepend a block of text with @ to transform it into a dedicated, interactive environment right inside your document.
@code / @html@diff@regex@GET / Mock APIsThe gutter isn't just for line numbers. It actively scans your text to detect and evaluate math equations, epoch timestamps, dates, hex colors, JWT tokens, and Base64 strings, rendering the results instantly.
Selecting text opens dedicated popover tools. Pick a color to see its hex/RGB/HSL values, select a date to open a calendar view, inspect a JWT's decoded payload, or view step-by-step math solutions.
/) & Rapidool BarType / inline to summon generators (like /uuid or /gen for local AI). Or press Cmd+Shift+Space anywhere in macOS to drop down the floating Rapidool Bar and run commands on copied text instantly.
No web latency. No cloud account requirements. Just a native, local-first workspace for raw text, formatting, and computational tools.
Paste a raw JSON payload from your API. Instantly decode any JWT tokens using the Inspector, auto-format the JSON with a quick Command Bar action, and write a quick @code JS block to extract specific fields—all without leaving the editor or opening a browser tab.
Drafting a UI component? Drop your HTML and CSS into an @html section and preview it immediately in the side panel. Spot a color you want to change? Click the hex code to open the Color Inspector, visually pick a new hue, and copy its HSL value.
Testing a mobile app's fetch logic but the backend isn't ready? Paste your desired JSON response, prepend it with @GET /api/users, and Rapidool instantly spins up a local server on port 9090 serving that data. No deployment required.
Need to generate boilerplate or transform unstructured data? Type /gen to stream AI code writing directly into your active scratchpad character-by-character. Powered by your local Ollama instance, meaning your proprietary code and API keys never leave your machine.
@)@code for native JS execution@html for live UI previews@regex with match highlighting@diff for comparing text blocks@GET / POST for Mock API serversYes. Rapidool is designed local-first. Text scanning, math evaluation, JS runtimes, formatting, and mock HTTP routing run 100% on your local macOS machine. No server syncing or telemetry is used (unless you point it to a remote Ollama server for AI prompts).
You can define mock endpoints using supported HTTP methods (GET and POST) and custom route paths (e.g., @GET /api/v1/users or @POST /auth/login) directly inside your document. Simply paste or write your mock JSON response (or HTML, XML, etc.) immediately below the route line. Rapidool serves these endpoints locally on port 9090, meaning your active web browser, curl command, or mobile client can query http://localhost:9090/api/v1/users instantly. Toggling the local server takes just one click in the editor HUD.
Yes. Rapidool scans the ~/.rapidool/scripts folder for JS files. Any script added there automatically behaves as a command in the Command Bar (e.g. /myCustomFormatter), transforming document text and returning output directly inline.
Rapidool integrates exclusively with Ollama as the AI provider. You can point it to your local Ollama instance (or a custom Ollama endpoint) to run models like Llama, Mistral, or Gemma. Since Ollama runs models locally on your machine, your code prompts and text data remain 100% private and never leave your device.
Rapidool is available on the macOS App Store with a 7-day free trial. After the trial, you can choose between a monthly subscription or a lifetime purchase option. It requires macOS 13 or later.
