Text correction with Harper

The project’s repository describes Harper as meeting the developer’s specific requirements: it is the grammar checker that meets your needs, analyzing documents in milliseconds with minimal memory usage.
Key features
- Fast performance: millisecond-level analysis
- Low memory usage: less than 1/50 of LanguageTool’s usage
- Complete privacy: runs locally, without sending data to servers
- WebAssembly compatibility: can run on multiple platforms
Installation
Installation is simple through the extension stores for:
- Web browsers
- Visual Studio Code
- Obsidian
For other platforms, comprehensive documentation is available at writewithharper.com/docs/about.
