About Lexicon

Lexicon is a free, open-source Grammarly alternative and local-first writing app for Windows, macOS & Linux with offline grammar checking, local AI rewrites, and clean PDF export. No accounts. Proofreading, Lex, and export are built in, not bolted on. Run inline checks for spelling, grammar, and style with 1-click Apply. Built-in checks run on your CPU; external AI servers are optional and user-configured. Use a downloaded local model on supported builds or a server that you configure.

About Local

Local is a macOS app that runs AI on your own machine. It tunes itself to your chip with BaseRT, so chat, coding and meeting notes run faster on the same hardware, without your work leaving the device. Point it at a project and it reads, edits and runs code in place. Local reads your chip and memory, then recommends what to run. Tokens, speed per model, and what the same work would have cost through a cloud API.
