About Proofreader

Proofreader lives in your browser's side panel β€” always one click away. Paste any text, pick a style, and get clean, corrected copy back in seconds. No app switching, no chat windows, no middleman. πŸ”‘ YOUR AI, YOUR KEY Connect directly to the AI provider you already use. Proofreader works with Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and xAI Grok. Bring your own API key β€” your text goes straight to the model and nowhere else. 🎨 STYLES Four built-in styles (Grammar Only, Casual, Neutral, Formal) or create your own with custom prompts, icons, and colours. Each style has its own thinking level and regional spelling variant. πŸ•΅οΈ ANTI-AI DETECTION Optionally humanise output to reduce AI detection flags. Subtle phrasing swaps, softened assertions, and light error injection make results read more like a person wrote them β€” without changing the meaning. πŸ“‹ HISTORY Optionally save a log of every session. Search, re-use, or delete entries at any time. Everything is stored locally on your machine β€” nothing is sent anywhere. πŸ₯· INCOGNITO MODE Need something off the record? Incognito mode prevents any session from being saved to your local history. ⚑ AUTOMATION Auto-proofread on paste, or trigger after a typing pause. Enable the right-click context menu to proofread selected text on any page without opening the panel. Or use the keyboard shortcut to toggle the panel without touching your mouse. πŸ’Ύ BACKUP & RESTORE Export all your settings, styles, and history to a single file. Import it on another browser or device and pick up exactly where you left off. πŸ”’ PRIVACY No accounts. No servers. No tracking. Your API keys and your history stay on your machine. This is fully open source β€” check the code if you want to verify. πŸš€ GETTING STARTED - Get a free API key from Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, or xAI - Click the Proofreader icon in your toolbar - Paste your key in Settings β€” done Proofreader is free and open source. A Buy Me a Coffee link is in the panel if it's saved you some time, but it doesn't unlock anything β€” the app is fully functional with your own key.
