I used Grammarly in the past and I stopped because the privacy issues were concerning. I switched to https://www.antidote.info/en, which works entirely on-device, without sending your data to a cloud service. They now do offer a fairly minimal web application that can be used if you have their subscription, but they offer a one-time purchase for the desktop application.

Similar to Grammarly, the growing use of AI-based pair programming tools, like Github Copilot and similar, poses similar serious privacy risks. While the intelligent autocomplete is helpful, it uploads large parts (or all) of your source code; which most companies should be very concerned about.
