editGPT

editGPT is a Chrome extension that turns ChatGPT into a tracked-changes proofreading tool. It suggests grammar, clarity and tone edits that you accept or reject one by one, so the final text stays yours. Positioned as a Grammarly alternative, it is aimed at novelists, academics, students and general writers.

editGPT is a Chrome extension that layers a proofreading and editing workflow on top of ChatGPT. Instead of reading a wall of rewritten text and guessing what changed, you see the AI's suggestions as tracked changes, then accept or reject each one. The stated goal is to keep the writing yours: the model proposes edits, and the author decides which of them survive. In practice the tool supports grammar correction, clarity and flow improvements, a more academic register, and multi-language text. Because it runs on custom prompts, users can define their own editing instructions rather than relying on a single fixed style. That makes it useful for several audiences: novelists cleaning up manuscripts, researchers polishing papers before submission, students working on essays, and anyone who wants a Grammarly-style pass without leaving the ChatGPT interface they already use. The extension is installed from the Chrome Web Store and works through ChatGPT, so the editing happens where the drafting already happens. The tool is positioned explicitly as a Grammarly alternative, and its marketing leans on user testimonials making that swap. It also publishes pages aimed at specific tasks: proofreading, book editing, paper editing, and Word track changes. Where it fits: dedicated grammar checkers tend to be fast and deterministic but limited in stylistic range, while raw ChatGPT output rewrites freely and often drifts in tone. editGPT sits between the two, borrowing the model's flexibility while restoring the review step. The tool reports more than 200,000 users and offers a free way to start. It is a sensible choice for writers who want AI suggestions on a leash; anyone needing offline operation, deep document-suite integrations, or enterprise compliance guarantees should check those requirements against what the product actually documents.
