Limato

Limato is a Chrome extension designed specifically for non-native English speakers who spend too much time laboring over short messages. Instead of offering grammar fixes like a traditional checker, Limato does a full rewrite—taking your original text and producing a version that reads as if a fluent native speaker wrote it. You highlight text on any site (Gmail, Slack, LinkedIn, Notion, you name it), press one key, and get a cleaner, shorter version back. It works in 34 languages, so you can draft in your native tongue and have the output come out in polished English, or any language you choose.

The tool offers seven rewrite tones: Native, humanize, formal, casual, simplify, academic, and grammar-only. The "Native" tone is the standout—it aggressively strips non-native filler, typically cutting the original by 30 to 50 percent, while keeping your ideas and voice intact. You can replace the original text inline with one click, or copy the rewrite to your clipboard. There's no tab-switching or copy-paste between windows; everything happens right where you're already typing. Limato's free plan gives you 20 rewrites per day (after signing in), and the Pro plan at $5.99 per month (or $47.99 per year) removes the daily limit and adds priority support.

Limato is best for professionals, students, and remote workers who write in English regularly but aren't fully comfortable with natural phrasing. If you've ever spent five minutes rephrasing a Slack message or an email to a colleague, this tool shaves that time down to a few seconds. It's less about fixing typos and more about helping you sound like yourself—just in fluent English. Freelancers, international team members, and anyone who communicates across language barriers will find it genuinely useful.
