Proofline 0.2.0

Grammar and spelling checking in every Windows app, against a LanguageTool server you control.

Download

File	Use it if
Proofline-0.2.0-setup.exe	You want it installed: per-user install (no administrator rights), Start menu shortcut, uninstall from Windows Settings › Apps.
Proofline-0.2.0-portable.zip	You want to run it from any folder or a USB stick: unzip and run Proofline\Proofline.exe; settings stay in a data folder next to it.

Needs Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11 (64-bit), and a LanguageTool server you can reach. The exe is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn; choose More info, then Run anyway, if you trust the download. On first start a short welcome window helps you connect to your server.

What's new in 0.2.0

• First-run welcome window: pick and test a server, see what the badge means, choose Start with Windows.
• Installer and portable builds.
• Tray quick settings: one Checking tile with On, Pause for 1 hour, Pause for the rest of today, and Off.
• Ctrl+Alt+J applies the first suggestion for the current text box.
• Readable names in Settings: turned-off rules by name, categories as checkboxes with links to LanguageTool's lists, a running-app picker, and shortcuts recorded by pressing the keys.
• Settings › Advanced: Check now for updates, plus Help, What's new and Releases links.
• Accessibility: a larger badge with a name screen readers announce.
• Fixed: windows flashing at startup, flyout text clipped at 150% and 200% scaling, unreadable dark-mode links, and the flyout's Current app card showing the taskbar.
• Proofline is now free software under the GNU GPL version 3.

Full list: CHANGELOG.md. Upgrading from 0.1.0: use the installer. The portable zip unzipped over 0.1.0 starts with empty settings in this version; that is fixed in 0.2.1, and the workaround is to delete portable.txt from the Proofline folder.
