Pros
  • Inline track-changes UI on top of ChatGPT, not just a rewritten blob
  • Works directly inside ChatGPT, Google Docs, and Word
  • Tone/style presets (academic, business, casual) speed up common edits
  • Free tier is genuinely usable for short documents
  • One-time $20 price instead of a subscription
  • Native macOS app, fast and unobtrusive
  • Choice of OpenAI or Anthropic backends
  • Auto-names and tags screenshots for real searchability
  • Inline chat about a captured region without app-switching
Cons
  • Thin wrapper around ChatGPT — inherits its hallucinations and quirks
  • No real-time as-you-type checking like Grammarly
  • Document length capped on the free tier
  • Roadmap risk if OpenAI ships native editing UX
  • macOS only, no Windows/Linux/iOS
  • Requires your own LLM API keys (running costs add up)
  • No public API for automation pipelines
  • Niche utility, not a full asset-management system
