Check spelling, grammar and punctuation online
Neatype is a free Mac app that does the job of an online checker without uploading your text anywhere. Select text in any app, press ⌥⌘F — and typos, grammar slips and commas are fixed in place.
Everything a proofreader would catch
A single press of ⌥⌘F fixes all of it at once — no browser tab, no copy-paste.
Spelling
Typos, missing or doubled letters, wrong case and mixed-up characters are brought back to standard spelling — your wording stays untouched.
Grammar
Agreement, verb forms, prepositions and word order are corrected with the smallest possible edits, so the text still sounds like you.
Punctuation
Commas, dashes, quotes and stray spaces end up where the rules put them — nothing else is changed.

The convenience of online checking — without the upload
Neatype works right where you type, and your text never leaves your Mac.
Private by design
Online services upload your text to their servers. Neatype runs the model on your Mac, so drafts, contracts and personal messages stay with you.
Works in every app
No pasting into a website. Fix text directly in Mail, Slack, Notes, your browser or your editor — anywhere you can select it.
Works offline
On a plane or on bad Wi-Fi the check works exactly the same. You only need the internet once — to download the app.
Free and unlimited
No character caps, no premium rules, no account. Download it and check as much text as you like.
Questions about text checking
Is this an online spell checker?
It solves the same task without sending your text away: instead of pasting it into a website, you press a hotkey and a local AI model checks spelling, grammar and punctuation right on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Which languages does it check?
The check works in whichever language you wrote — English, Russian, Spanish, German and many more. Corrections keep your language and even your alphabet.
Will it rewrite my text?
No. Neatype makes the smallest edits needed to fix mistakes and keeps your wording, slang and tone — it corrects, it doesn't paraphrase.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Neatype is free to download and use — no account, no subscription and no limits on text length.
Up and running in a minute
No account, no setup wizard. Install it and it just works in every app.

Drag Neatype to Applications. An N appears in your menu bar — no Dock icon, no sign-up.
Select
Highlight text in any app — Mail, Slack, Notes, your browser, anywhere you can type.
Press the hotkey
Hit ⌥⌘F to fix or ⌥⌘T to translate. The result replaces your selection in place.
