Sensory Writeable for Mac is an offline writing companion application for macOS. It analyses your writing using an on-device large language model (LLM) and provides structured, detailed feedback β€” all processed locally on your Mac, with no data sent to the internet.

What Sensory Writeable does

Writeable acts as a digital writing mentor. You paste your text into Writeable and choose an analysis type. Writeable then produces a commentary and suggestions for improvement. Importantly, Writeable never changes your original document automatically β€” the suggestions are for you to consider and apply to your own work.

Writeable provides four types of writing analysis β€” Structure, Style, Critique, and Flow β€” each focused on a different aspect of formal or academic writing.
