About
Charm is a writing assistant that works in every Mac app, from Mail and Notes to browsers and code editors. Its Spells feature corrects spelling silently in place as you type, Polish fixes grammar in real time at natural pause points in a sentence, and Oracle predicts your next word so you can accept it with a keystroke, bringing desktop Macs the prediction iOS has had for years.
All processing happens on the device, so nothing you type leaves the Mac and no account is needed. Any correction can be undone instantly with Command and Backspace, a personal dictionary handles names and jargon, emoji shortcuts expand as you type, and behaviour can be overridden per app. Charm is a one-time purchase of $19.99 with no subscription, and every feature is included in the single price.

Curator's Note
“The first Mac autocorrect we stopped noticing, which is exactly the point.”
