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, or keep your original untouched and export an annotated copy with a note on every change.

See the difference

Original thesis on the left, corrected version on the right — every change carries a comment explaining what changed and why.

Thesis formatting before and after: every correction is annotated

"Example University" in the screenshot is a fictional demo template. Upload your own university's template and the app follows your school's requirements.

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, MLA, Chicago and IEEE.

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?

Purchase on this site (we use Paddle as the Merchant of Record, so taxes are handled for you). You receive an activation code, which you enter in the app following the activation guide.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Download the app and run a full format check for free. Payment is only required to apply the fixes.

Stop fighting with formatting

Download the app, run it on your own thesis, and see the report before you decide anything.
