Description

Limato is a Chrome extension that helps non-native speakers write like natives — without leaving the page they are already typing on.

Select any text in Gmail, LinkedIn, Slack, Notion or any web app, hit the hotkey, and Limato rewrites it in place. Seven tones: Native (an aggressive ESL rewrite that cuts the padding and typically makes text 30-55% shorter), Formal, Casual, Simplify, Academic, Grammar and Humanize (removes the tell-tale rhythm of AI-generated prose). It also translates between 34 languages in both directions, so you can draft in your own language and ship in English.

Unlike a grammar checker, Limato does not just polish commas — it restructures sentences the way a native speaker would actually phrase them.

Free plan: 5 rewrites/day without an account, 20/day when signed in with Google. Pro is $5.99/month (14-day trial) or $47.99/year for unlimited rewrites.

Built by a solo founder in Spain, who learned this problem the hard way while writing English every day.
