How it works
The free web version works in the browser for quick checks, while the desktop app adds offline use, publishing to WordPress and Medium, and saving documents. It is popular with journalists, bloggers, and anyone who wants plain, punchy writing.
The desktop app is a one-time purchase of $19.99, with no subscription. That makes it unusually cheap for a writing tool, though it only edits style and readability: it does not check grammar or spelling, so pair it with a grammar checker for complete proofreading.
