Openly

Openly is a Vale linter style that attempts to emulate features of the commercial, closed-source Grammarly, running entirely locally through Vale instead of sending your writing to a third-party service.

It’s distributed as a Vale package - point your .vale.ini at the latest release, add Openly to BasedOnStyles, and run vale sync. It’s still a work in progress, and the project welcomes contributions.
