Speaking of Grammarly, are there any good offline tools of similar scope and competency?

I don't really relish the fact that these services have access to potentially very personal information.

Even with the best of intentions, there is no guarantee that now or later some of the information ends up being used in novel and shady ways.

Linters for prose exist.

Haven't tried it myself, but LanguageTool offers a selfhosted variant, that their software can easily switch to.

Having found myself doing some proofreading work, I rolled up a few regexes to locate common errors which sped up my workflow and increased my accuracy considerably.
