The typos nothing else can see.
SansTypo checks what you type in any app, and the words a spell checker can’t reach: slides, designs, PDFs and screenshots. On your own computer.

Spell check stops at the text box. SansTypo doesn’t.
It works the same way in every app, catches wording slips as well as spelling, and reads the text a spell checker can’t reach.
Mistakes get a wavy underline while you write: red for spelling, blue for wording. Point at one and a card offers the fix, and ⌃⌘↩ accepts it.
Press ⌃⌘P (Ctrl+Alt+P on Windows) and drag over any text on screen: a Keynote deck, a Figma frame, a screenshot someone sent you. SansTypo reads the pixels and marks what it finds.
The extension puts the marks inside the page. In an AI chat box, Enhance tidies the prompt you wrote before you send it, and ⌘Z puts your own words back.
Nothing you write leaves your computer.
SansTypo checks where you type, on your own computer. There is no SansTypo server, so there is nowhere else for your text to go. Read the privacy policy
Built on what your Mac already has
Spelling comes from the dictionaries macOS has, in over 40 languages, and text in pictures is read by your Mac’s own text recognition. English on Windows, for now.

Keeps counts, never words
The app’s Overview shows what it fixed and where. The words themselves stay in memory, and are gone when SansTypo quits.

How can I tell?
Open your browser’s network panel while it checks. Nothing leaves. The page fetches the checker from this site once, about 0.8 MB, and the file never goes to anything.
It checks English spelling and 11 wording rules. It does not check style, tone or facts, and it is not AI. The app on your computer does more.
Questions, answered.
Anything else is on the support page.
Is it free?
Yes. There is nothing to buy and no account.
Does it send my text anywhere?
No. SansTypo checks your writing on your own computer. There is no SansTypo server, so there is nowhere for your text to go.
Which languages?
On a Mac, the languages macOS has dictionaries for — over 40. On Windows, English for now.
Does it work in my browser?
Yes, the app checks text fields in any browser. The extension makes it better: marks sit inside the page and scroll with it.
What does it need permission for on a Mac?
Accessibility, to read the field you’re typing in. Screen Recording only if you want it to read text in pictures. It asks for each, and says why, the first time.
How is it different from the spell checker I have?
It works the same way in every app, it catches wording slips as well as spelling, and it reads text a spell checker can’t: slides, designs, PDFs and screenshots.
