How it works

Three steps, and the rules come from your school — not from us.

1

Check

Point the app at your document and, if you have one, your university's Word template. It reads the template's rules into a profile.

2

Review

You get a plain-language list of everything that was flagged, and what should be changed. Nothing is modified until you say so.

3

Fix

Apply the fixes in one click. Your original is never overwritten — the corrected copy is saved as a new file, with a note on every change.

Where the rules come from

Most universities don't use one of the big presets — they use their own template. Three ways to tell the app what "correct" means; use whichever is easiest.

1

Your Word template

Upload the template your school handed out. The app reads the page setup, type, spacing and heading rules out of it, and measures your thesis against that.

2

Fill in the questionnaire

No template to hand? Fill in a short questionnaire with your school's requirements yourself — margins, font, size, line spacing, heading levels, and which reference style to use.

3

Let an AI fill it in

Export the questionnaire, hand it to any AI assistant along with your school's guidelines, and import the result. The file is read on your computer — nothing is uploaded to us.

With a template, your own answers or an AI import, no preset is layered on top — the app applies what your school asks. You can still choose APA, MLA or IEEE for the reference list.

Capabilities

Your template is the standard — the app measures your document against it, item by item.

See the difference

Original thesis on the left; on the right, the same document corrected to different standards — APA, MLA, IEEE. Every change carries a comment explaining what changed and why. Use the arrows to cycle through formats.

Illustration only. The app reads your own university's template and applies your school's rules to your real document — formatting only, never your words.

Frequently asked

Does my thesis get uploaded anywhere?

No. The desktop app reads, checks and fixes your document entirely on your own computer. Your file is never uploaded to any server.

Which formatting standards are supported?

The app builds its rules from the Word template you supply, so it follows your university rather than a fixed preset. It also ships presets for APA (student and professional), MLA and IEEE (conference and journal editions).

What if my university doesn't use APA, MLA or IEEE?

That preset list isn't your only option. The app can read your university's own Word template, or you can fill in a short questionnaire with your school's requirements — or export that questionnaire to any AI assistant and import the filled result. Whatever you choose becomes the standard your thesis is measured against.

Will it rewrite my writing?

No. It changes formatting only — fonts, sizes, margins, spacing, heading levels and reference layout. Your words are left exactly as they are.

Which operating systems are supported?

Windows, macOS and Linux.

How do I pay and activate?

Buy online with the buttons on the Pricing page — checkout is handled by Paddle (our Merchant of Record), so taxes are included for you. Right after payment you'll get your activation code by email; enter it in the app following the activation guide. Questions? Email [email protected].

Is there a free trial?

Yes — and it's genuinely free to try. Scanning your document is always free, and your first fix is free too. No credit card, no account. You only pay when you want unlimited fixes.
