Rewrite Anything

Soften Blunt Feedback

Turn blunt or harsh feedback into a kinder, more diplomatic version without losing the actual message. Free tool for managers.

Rewritten
I've noticed your reports have been coming in later than we need, and I think there's room to tighten them up a bit before submission. Getting these in on time and polished would really help the team put its best foot forward — happy to talk through what a good turnaround process might look like if that'd be useful.

Free plan includes 2 rewrites a day. Go unlimited for $8/mo →

About this tool

There's a version of honest feedback that lands as constructive, and a version that just sounds harsh — often the difference is delivery rather than substance. This tool takes feedback that's true but bluntly worded and rewrites it with a kinder, more diplomatic tone, while explicitly preserving the actual point so the message doesn't get lost in the process of softening it. It's the inverse of legal-letter-tone-formalizer in spirit — instead of adding formality, this tool adds warmth — and it's a lighter, faster alternative to constructive-feedback-generator when you already have the substance written and just need the tone adjusted.

Frequently asked questions

Will it water down the feedback so much it loses meaning?

No — it's specifically instructed to keep the core message and substance intact. It changes tone and delivery, not the actual point being communicated.

Is this only for managers giving feedback to employees?

No, it works for any feedback context — peer feedback, feedback to a manager, or even personal feedback to a friend or family member.

When should I use the constructive-feedback tool instead?

Use this tool when you already have the blunt version written and just want to adjust tone; use constructive-feedback-generator when you're starting from a general situation and need help drafting the feedback itself.
