   Readable, Quick and Easy to Use

   I've tried other proofreading programs and found them to be very limited. ProWritingAid is the only program I know of that has a built-in grammar checker. Also, the free version has a lot of features that paid versions don't have, so I highly recommend it. This program is great for students who want to improve their writing skills. It's especially helpful for those who write in other languages, because the grammar checker can help you spot errors in your translations.

   A great product to help you improve your English

   This software is great for all of my writing projects and I love that I can use it for business and personal. I recommend it for all of my clients who need proofreading and editing help. I use this software for all of my writing projects, whether I am proofing my own work or that of my clients. I can use this software to easily check my grammar, spelling, and consistency, and provide feedback. This software helps me to become a better writer!

  I use the Contexts [1] app, couldn't live without it (not affiliated...) It shows me all open Windows and in which Desktop, in its Sidebar (I've disabled the macOS dock.)

  ProWritingAid: Includes all the features of Hemingway, plus much much more. Grammar checking, word echo checking, style checking, passive voice monitoring, etc, etc. ProWritingAid is a really powerful piece of editing software.
