No more trips to the Hemingway Editor and back
No more trips to the Hemingway Editor and back

The developer says…

Automatically highlights hard-to-read sentences, adverbs, passive voice and complex words, with a readability grade. Not affiliated with Hemingway Editor.

Features

They are:

  • Highlights as you type: Live Preview, Source mode and Reading view all work.
  • Click a highlight and it explains itself: A small card pops up with a one-line reason and a button.
  • The side panel gives you the grade: It shows the reading grade, letters, characters, words, sentences, paragraphs and reading time, plus a card for each type of problem with a count.
  • Write and edit tabs: Write hides every highlight so you can just draft. Edit turns them back on.
  • Select some text and the panel switches to that: Handy when you only care about one paragraph.
  • Goals, if you want them: Set a word goal for a note, or a daily goal across everything. You get a progress bar and a streak counter.
  • Focus mode: Hides the sidebars, tabs and status bar.
