Antidote 12
Antidote 12 is a writing assistance app for Mac that helps users correct text, explore dictionaries, and consult language guides in English and French.
What is Antidote 12?
Antidote 12 is a native Mac writing assistant for checking spelling, grammar, style, and word choice while you work in English or French. It is designed for students, professionals, editors, and anyone who writes regularly and wants help improving clarity and correctness. The app combines a corrector with dictionaries and language guides, so you can move from fixing a sentence to looking up definitions, synonyms, usage notes, and writing rules in one workflow. Antidote 12 also integrates with supported writing environments to make revision easier while drafting documents, emails, and other text. On Mac, it is commonly used as a desktop reference and correction tool alongside word processors and everyday writing apps. Druide informatique inc. publishes Antidote 12 as part of its language tools lineup.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Antidote 12 is legitimate writing software. Because its purpose is to analyze text, it may need access to the words you write in supported apps or content you paste into it, which is normal for a grammar and dictionary tool. If you use it with sensitive material, avoid sending confidential text through optional online features unless that matches your privacy needs. Removing the app will stop its correction, dictionary, and integration features from working on this Mac.
Recommendation: Keep Antidote 12 if you use Mac for writing, editing, or language reference work in English or French. Remove it only if you no longer use its correction and dictionary features or prefer another writing assistant, knowing that connected text-integration features will no longer be available.
