PureEdit

Private · On-Device · Offline

A serious grammar and style editor for macOS — one that never sends a single word to the cloud. No account, no tracking, nothing leaves your Mac.

Coming Soon

Launching on the Mac App Store.

What it does

PureEdit opens your document, reads it through a fast native checker, and shows every grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style suggestion side by side with your original — so you stay in control of every change. The entire engine runs on your machine, which means a private letter, a legal draft, or an unpublished manuscript stays exactly where you put it.

Features

100% On-Device

The checker runs in-process on your Mac. Your writing never touches the network — no cloud, no account, no tracking.

Grammar & Style

A fast native engine catches grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style issues across thousands of rules.

Optional On-Device AI

Add a local AI model for deeper rewrites and tone suggestions. It runs on Apple Silicon — still fully offline.

Opens Everything

Word, Pages, LibreOffice, rich text, plain text, and Markdown — open, check, and save back in the original format.

Side-by-Side Review

See your original and the corrected version together. Accept changes one at a time, or all at once.

Quick Formatting

A built-in toolbar for font, size, colour, bold, italic, underline, strike, and paragraph styles for light edits.

Scriptable CLI

The bundled pecheck command checks and exports documents from the terminal or a build pipeline.

Privacy First

No sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry. Everything happens on your machine, the way it should.

Meet Moss

Moss, our rock-golem mascot, isn't much of a typist — which is exactly why he built PureEdit. He does the proofreading so you don't have to.
