Proofread and rewrite selected text using a local language model.
What you can use it for
Proofread and rewrite selected text using a local language model.
- Proofreading, rewriting and tone changes from selected text.
- Local inference avoids recurring cloud generation credits.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes
Selected-text proofreading, rewriting and tone adjustments with local inference. Not full document analysis, plagiarism detection, citation verification or guaranteed grammar/model accuracy.
Before you switch
Use the documented local-model route; default/cloud API configurations may require paid or restricted keys. Model downloads, RAM and setup are required. Outputs need review for meaning and accuracy. Formatting can be lost, hotkeys may conflict, and there is no plagiarism checker or full document/style-report parity.
Alternatives to these paid apps
