Why writers use these tools

Unpublished drafts, client copy and manuscripts shouldn't be pasted into services that keep them. Every tool here works inside your browser, so your text is never uploaded or stored.

The checks are rule-based and explain themselves: you decide what to change. They don't rewrite your text for you.
