Dettivo

§ Enhanced mode

Enhanced mode

Opt-in

Enhanced runs Polish, then attaches the focused app and (opt-in) the active selection and a window screenshot, then routes the transcript through a model rewrite. The local MLX polish model is the default; OpenAI / Anthropic / OpenAI-compatible endpoints are opt-in BYOK.

Who this is for

Users who want app-aware polish — different rewrites for Slack vs email vs a code review comment — and users who lean on translation, context-grounded vocabulary, or automation pipelines tied to dictation.

What "context-aware" actually means

Enhanced reads three signals before it calls a model: the frontmost app and its bundle ID, the active selection (if Accessibility is granted), and a single window screenshot (only when the per-app screenshot toggle is on for that app class).

These signals are bounded — there is a per-context token budget and a payload metric in Settings. Dettivo will surface a status pill (Ready / Limited / Blocked) in the menu bar and the completion notice so you know what context made it into the run.

Context toggles

Optional. Requires Screen & System Audio Recording permission. Bounded to a single frame, only when you enable it for an app class.
Code apps · Mail apps · Browsers · Other apps
Per-class screenshot toggle. Most users enable code apps only.
Remote endpoint trust
If you point Enhanced at an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, this row controls whether Dettivo allows that exact base URL.
