LanguageTool’s new Mac app works in several Apple-based programs and Microsoft Word. We explain installation, usage, and advantages of the new version for macOS.
Kindly note that the new LanguageTool Mac App is still in beta version. Unfortunately, this may cause some problems in its use. We are working constantly to improve the versions for various systems. Furthermore, the new app works exclusively on macOS devices (i.e., Apple). A version for Windows might follow in the future—as well as support for other apps and programs within the Mac app.

We’ll show you that LanguageTool can now function like a set of dominoes.
