Questions
Is Writeshaper really free?
Yes. No trial, no premium plan, no account and no ads. It is open source under the MIT licence. If it helps you, you can support the studio on Ko-fi, but you never have to.
Does my writing get uploaded?
No. Writeshaper runs its writing model on your own computer. Your text never leaves it, not even to Hollowbit. The app only goes online to download the model once, and (unless you turn it off) to check GitHub once a day for a newer version.
How big is it?
The installer is about 111 MB. The first time you open it, Writeshaper downloads its writing model once: Standard is 1.9 GB, and Best is 2.7 GB if you want it to catch a little more. You can delete or switch models any time in Settings.
Which apps does it work in?
Almost any app where you can select text: Mail, Gmail and Outlook in a browser, Word, Google Docs, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, Notes and more. Select text, press the shortcut, and Replace pastes the new version back.
