Grammarly Desktop

brew install --cask grammarly-desktop v1.170.1.0

Grammar, spelling, and style checker that runs system-wide across apps and browsers.

Why you might care

Grammarly offers real-time writing suggestions across any application—email, messaging, documents—without needing to switch windows. It catches nuanced style issues beyond basic spell-check and provides tone detection. The main trade-off is that the best features require a paid subscription, and some users prefer open-source or privacy-focused alternatives.
