Lexicon

Lexicon is a free, open-source, local-first writing assistant and distraction-free rich-text editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It provides inline proofreading through the separate LanguageTool engine, while local AI tools handle rewriting, tone adjustment, summarization, and other writing tasks without requiring an account or cloud writing service. Users can review suggestions in a dedicated panel, format drafts with rich text and LaTeX, autosave work, and export it to Markdown, HTML, text, or PDF. The app can download and run a local AI model or use an existing local Ollama server; the editor and proofreading tools work without an AI-model download. It is MIT-licensed, and the repository notes that its Windows builds are unsigned and its macOS build is pre-release and unsigned.
