Learneo, Inc. · A macOS desktop app that provides spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style suggestions while you write in supported apps.
About
LanguageTool for Desktop brings writing suggestions to supported macOS apps. It can identify spelling and grammar issues, punctuation problems, incorrect capitalization, and style concerns such as redundant or overused wording. LanguageTool’s site lists Pages, Mail, Slack, Word, Notes, and Messages among the apps supported on macOS.
The service checks writing in multiple languages and dialects; its site highlights English, German, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Dutch, among others. The desktop app is intended to offer suggestions within writing apps rather than being a separate font or a command-line tool. LanguageTool’s broader service has free and Premium offerings; available checking features may differ between them.
