Local checks. Optional AI. One extension.

Make the small fix. Rewrite the selected line. Or open the popup for a full draft.

Catch the everyday mistake without uploading your writing. Ask AI for a different tone, clearer wording, or a shorter draft when you need it. Keep each tool under your control.

01 · On-device

Local grammar checks

Catch English spelling and grammar mistakes as you type. Inline Fix checks on your device, without uploading your writing. Choose which corrections to apply.

02 · AI when you choose

Selection Rewrite

Select two or more words in a supported field. Choose an AI Rewrite, Fix grammar, or Shorten action to submit that text. Review the result before replacing or copying it.

03 · Toolbar

Popup rewriter

Tone, role, language, and history in the toolbar. Use this when a website editor is not supported, including Google Docs.

How it works

Check as you type. Rewrite when you choose.

Enable website tools when you want RewritePal beside the fields where you already write. The popup stays in the toolbar for everything else.

  1. 1

    Add the extension

    Install RewritePal from the Chrome Web Store and pin it for quick access.

  2. 2

    Enable website tools

    Approve website access once, then choose Selection Rewrite, Inline Fix, or both.

  3. 3

    Make a local fix

    Type in a supported field, open an underline, and choose a correction. Local checks keep that text on your device.

  4. 4

    Choose an AI rewrite

    Highlight two or more words. Selecting text does not send it. Submit with Rewrite, Fix grammar, or Shorten, then review before replacing.

A writing assistant that waits until you ask

Inline Fix checks your writing on your device with Harper. AI actions, including Fix grammar and Shorten in the rewrite card, send only the text you submit for processing.

FAQ

Before you add RewritePal to Chrome

The short version: local checks are private, AI rewrites are explicit, and you control each website tool separately.

What does the RewritePal Chrome extension do?

RewritePal checks English spelling and grammar on your device with Inline Fix and offers AI Selection Rewrite in supported writing fields. Review every correction or rewrite before applying it. The popup remains available for focused rewrites and unsupported editors.

Are Inline Fix grammar checks private?

Yes. Inline Fix checks the focused eligible field locally in the extension with Harper. That text is not sent to the RewritePal API. AI rewrites are separate and send only the text you explicitly submit for rewriting.

What powers the local grammar checks?

Inline Fix uses Harper, an open-source grammar engine built in Rust. English checks run on your device without a cloud round trip. AI rewrites are separate and process the text you submit online.

How does RewritePal compare with Grammarly and QuillBot?

Up to 10× faster grammar checks and AI rewrites. Up to 75% less RAM. Benchmarked against Grammarly and QuillBot (November 2026). Results vary by device, text, and connection.

Does RewritePal work on every website?

Selection Rewrite and Inline Fix work in standard textareas, supported text inputs, and standards-based rich-text editors on ordinary websites after you enable website access. Some specialized editors, embedded frames, and Google Docs are not supported yet. The popup remains available as a fallback.

Can I turn RewritePal off on specific websites?

Yes. Enable website tools once, then use Pause here for any site where you do not want them to run. Selection Rewrite and Inline Fix also have independent switches, and you can remove website access everywhere.

Is the RewritePal Chrome extension free?

You can install RewritePal for free. Local Inline Fix corrections do not use AI actions. AI rewrites use the daily allowance shown in the extension, and a free account unlocks the higher free allowance.

Does Inline Fix support languages other than English?

Inline Fix currently checks supported English text only and skips text that Harper does not identify as likely English. The separate AI rewrite workflow supports the output languages available in RewritePal.

Write where you already work

Private corrections. Your voice. Less waiting.

Catch English mistakes locally and rewrite selected text when you want to. You choose each correction and decide when to send text for AI processing.
