Gorby

Gorby provides a calm space to draft and polish your writing. It is a privacy-first text analyzer used by writers to catch bad habits and improve readability, with no heavy menus breaking the flow. Drafts remain private, and when editing is required, the tool highlights structural issues to refine prose. Drafts are never stored by Gorby’s servers, maintaining privacy as you work.

Gorby emphasizes a quiet writing surface and focused editing. It tracks readability and flags issues like complex sentences and passive voice, then steps out of the way so writing can continue. The environment is designed to reduce interruptions and keep the writer in flow, with in-browser analysis happening locally.

The tool pairs text analysis with a calm writing surface and offers features such as highlighting, focus mode, and AI-assisted writing. It supports writers across different types of documents and aims to help produce clearer prose without ads or data collection.

Gorby presents a roadmap and emphasizes ongoing development without ads. It highlights a privacy-first approach, plans for future features, and the option of a desktop app while keeping the core principle of private, in-browser analysis.
