Using Tireo
How does Tireo work?
1. Select any text in any application
2. Press the Tireo hotkey (default: Cmd+2)
3. Tireo instantly replaces the text with a typographically corrected version
How do I change the hotkey?
Open Tireo Settings → Hotkeys section → click "Assign hotkey" next to the action you want to change.
Why doesn't Tireo work in some apps?
Tireo requires Accessibility permission to read and replace text. Make sure:
1. You have granted Accessibility permission in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility
2. The target application allows text selection and replacement
3. The hotkey you assigned doesn't conflict with the target app
What rules does Tireo apply?
By default, Tireo:
- Replaces straight quotes with typographic ones («…» for Russian, "…" for English)
- Replaces hyphens with em dashes where appropriate
- Adds non-breaking spaces after short words and before units
- Fixes spacing around punctuation
- Removes double spaces

In Pro you can create custom presets with different rule sets for different contexts (emails, articles, code comments, etc.).
How do I switch between Russian and English rules?
Tireo automatically detects the language of the selected text and applies appropriate rules. You can also force a specific language in Settings → Language.
What is the Symbols panel?
The Symbols panel is a quick-access window for inserting special Unicode characters. In the free version it includes currency and basic special characters. Pro unlocks all popular Unicode tables (arrows, stars, math, fractions and more).
What is the floating button?
The floating button is a quick-access UI element that lets you apply typography rules without using the keyboard. In Pro you can customize its appearance and behavior.
What does case conversion do?
Case conversion changes the case of selected text: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case, etc. Available in Tireo Pro.
Statistics and achievements
Where is my statistics stored?
All statistics (number of corrections, days of use, achievements) are stored locally on your device. Nothing is sent to any server.
What are levels and achievements?
Tireo tracks your usage and unlocks achievements as milestones (corrections made, time saved, days active). You can share your progress card from the app.
How is "time saved" calculated?
Tireo estimates time saved based on the number of corrections applied, assuming manual typography would take approximately 3 seconds per fix.
Privacy
Does Tireo collect my data?
No. Tireo runs completely offline and does not send any data to the internet. No analytics, no telemetry, no servers.
Where are my settings stored?
Locally on your device. Nothing is sent to the cloud.
Does Tireo record what I type?
No. The app only processes text when you explicitly trigger the hotkey on selected text. It never records or stores text input, passwords, or messages. Text is used only for instant correction and is immediately discarded.
