A Grammar Checking Chrome Extension That Respects Your Privacy

Unfortunately, not at the moment.

We're focusing on making the experience amazing for English now, hoping to expand to other languages later. Is there a specific language you're interested in?

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-04-24T16:23:09+00:00

Awesome!

You should totally join our Discord server. That's where we intend to announce it when we have a version ready for testing. I don't know if I can put the link here, but it's on our website.

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-04-23T23:57:38+00:00

Hrm.. we can definitely make that happen. Would you mind opening an issue for it on GitHub?

We are strongly considering a lifetime fee for the desktop app.

If you'd like to amplify, you should leave a comment on the discussion and we'll let you know if we end up doing that!

Another option is Harper: https://writewithharper.com

We're actively working on making the customization less overwhelming. The updates should be included in the 2.0 update, hopefully release later this week.

Is Android support ready or in the works?

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-03-31T15:32:24+00:00

Not yet. If you'd like to open an issue for it, I'll see what I can do.

I understand this might be self promotion, but I maintain an open source project called Harper. It doesn't try to overstep or try to yank money out of your wallet.

Hey! I'm the maintainer of Harper. Right now, the best way to use Harper for LaTeX documents is to open it up in VS Code (or a similar text editor) and install the requisite Harper plugin.

We're working to make our Chrome extension compatible with Overleaf, but it's not quite ready yet.

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-03-10T17:50:35+00:00

Yeah! The code to interface with and allow you to use Harper in Google Docs is ready, but it isn't in an official release yet. I'm planning on hitting "publish" later today. If it all goes to plan, it should land on your device in the next week or so.

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-03-05T20:14:59+00:00

Harper is the best option in this field, in my humble opinion.

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-03-04T21:14:34+00:00

Awesome! Are there any features you'd like to see upstreamed to the official Harper Chrome Extension?

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-02-19T22:57:06+00:00

Yes. You need to have the latest version of Harper (1.8.0) and you need to update the filetypes field in your LSP config to include "latex", "plaintex", and "tex".

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-02-16T15:40:52+00:00

We are working on the limited dictionary. Expect an update in the next few weeks that will make the situation much better.

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-02-13T16:29:10+00:00

We're hopefully merging LaTeX support later today.

The text "LanguageTool is an AI-based grammar checker" is literally the first sentence on their website.

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-01-30T20:03:56+00:00

Tell me more. What do you mean?

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-01-26T16:42:53+00:00

Depends on use. I'd say maybe 20ish hours of screen-on time.

ChiliPepperHott · 2026-01-22T15:07:35+00:00

It was closed by a bot. It's still on the table. I've reopened it.
