LanguageTool

What is LanguageTool?

LanguageTool is a writing assistant that helps users improve grammar, spelling, punctuation, and style while writing in Safari and on macOS. It is designed for students, professionals, and anyone who writes emails, documents, messages, or web content and wants clearer, more polished text. The app and Safari extension can review text across supported websites and apps, offer corrections for common writing issues, and provide suggestions that improve clarity and word choice. LanguageTool also supports multiple languages and language variants, which is useful for multilingual writing and regional spelling differences. Users with an account can sign in to access personal features such as their dictionary across the Safari extension and Mac app.

Safety overview

Status: Mostly safe

LanguageTool is legitimate writing-assistance software. To check what you type, it may process text you enter in supported websites or apps, so avoid sending sensitive information through any proofreading service unless you are comfortable with that use. Browser access and text analysis are normal for this kind of tool. If you stop using it, removing the app or Safari extension will mainly disable its writing suggestions and related account features.

Recommendation: Keep LanguageTool if you use it for proofreading in Safari or macOS apps. Remove it if you no longer want writing suggestions or prefer not to send text to an external writing service for analysis.
