GrammarBot

GrammarBot is an AI-powered app that helps you correct grammar and spelling without needing a network connection or subscription. The tool works by downloading a local large language model (LLM) and assigning a preferred hotkey for quick access. That means you can check and improve your English writing at any time, even without a network connection.

GrammarBot is useful for tasks like proofreading emails, LinkedIn posts and text messages before you send them to avoid embarrassing mistakes. It's like a local version of ChatGPT, processing text on your machine instead of in the cloud, which means it's private and secure.

The app costs $12 for a Personal License that includes lifetime use, the AI model, one year of updates and email support. It runs on MacOS computers with M1, M2 or M3 processors, but the company plans to add Windows and Linux support later. It requires 8GB of RAM or more for best performance.

The AI model itself is about 4GB in size, and the faster your machine's RAM, the faster the app will respond. For any problems or questions, you can contact support, and the company offers a refund if it can't get the app working on your machine.

GrammarBot is a useful, self-contained tool for people who want to improve their English writing skills without relying on online tools or subscriptions.
