Does it work on Linux? Debain?

There is no reason you can't deploy the Java server nor run the docker container on Linux. Or do you mean a native client for Linux?

For my Ubuntu machine as a client, I just use the web extension for Firefox and I also use the Visual Studio Code extension. I am most happy that my READMEs don't have such stupid errors anymore when I push them publicly where anyone can see. LOL

Is there something like that but without Java?

bartmoss · 4 years ago

Maybe use the docker container to avoid any Java setup stuff? This is what I usually do.

No Android or Linux app. Subscription is high (like others have said). Appears no offline version (might be wrong) and the text is stored on their servers be default unless you manually delete it.

I'll not be using it but good effort though.

No subscription is required for the base version no account, either. Of course, the base version doesn't have all the features as premium, but it is still excellent, in my opinion. I have used the free version for years. There is an offline version, as it is open source.

The full text isn't stored on the servers, but you can always just deploy it yourself for maximum privacy:

Furthermore, there are options for docker: https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool#docker
