Gorby
Privacy-first text analyzer & editor·gorby.app
Gorby is a browser-based text analyzer and editor that helps writers improve readability, catch style issues like passive voice and complex sentences, and polish drafts. It calculates readability scores (Flesch, Dale-Chall, ARI, SMOG and more), flags clichés, redundancies and overused words, and offers a distraction-free Focus Mode plus AI-powered writing suggestions. All core text analysis runs locally in the browser so drafts are not sent to or stored on Gorby's servers.
