Fixelect v1.3.0 — offline grammar fixes and polish in every app

Fixelect fixes and polishes the text you select, in any app, with an AI model that runs entirely on your computer. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.

What's new in 1.3.0

  • See what changed. After a fix, the card lists the corrected words, like teh → the · beleive → believe · +2 more.
  • Fix without selecting. Nothing selected? The shortcut fixes the line you're typing, from its start to the cursor. Turn it off in Settings → Writing.
  • History. Settings → History lists your last 30 changes with Copy original and Copy result, so a bad fix can be recovered after Undo is gone. It's kept only on your computer. Turn it off or clear it there.

Fixes

  • A cancelled or broken update download no longer leaves a half-written installer behind.
  • The DeepSeek R1 model is no longer offered. It thinks out loud before answering, which made fixes slow. If you used it, Fixelect switches you to Qwen 2.5 1.5B, which is the same size.
  • Model downloads now use the same code on Windows and macOS, with new tests for resuming, cancelling and checksum checks.

Download

  • Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit): FixelectSetup.exe
  • macOS 11+ (Apple Silicon): Fixelect.dmg

Each file has a .sha256 checksum next to it. Fixelect's built-in updater verifies it automatically.

First launch: if Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info → Run anyway. On a Mac, if it says Fixelect can't be opened, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway, or paste xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Fixelect.app && open /Applications/Fixelect.app into Terminal. Builds are signed automatically once the project has signing certificates.

Highlights

  • Fix (double-tap Alt / ⌥) keeps your voice; Polish (double-tap Ctrl on Windows, ⇧ Shift on Mac) shows a preview with Professional, Friendly, Concise, Formal and Shorter styles.
  • An on-screen card shows progress and results, with one-click Undo.
  • Formatting (bold, links, fonts) is kept in Word, Outlook, Google Docs and Gmail.
  • English plus Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian and Ukrainian. Uzbek (beta) with the optional Gemma 4 model.
  • Turn Fixelect off for specific apps; terminals and password managers are off by default.
  • Frees the model's memory when idle; long text is processed in chunks you can cancel with Esc.
