Harper: A Local, Open Source Grammarly Alternative for Neovim, Emacs & More
Do you write a lot markdown in Neovim, and even though you have spell checking enabled, you would like to have a smart alternative similar to Grammarly that checks your spelling and grammar and offers suggestions?
I do have spell checking for neovim, but sometimes that's not enough, you need something smarter, that's when Harper comes in handy
If you know how to disable harper for specific paths in nvim-lspconfig, please let me know in the comments

Harper is an English grammar checker designed to be just right. You can think of it as an open-source alternative to Grammarly. I created it after years of dealing with the shortcomings of the competition.
Harper is completely private, in every sense of the word. Since Harper runs on-device, your data doesn't go anywhere you don't want it to. That means you have 100% certainty we don't violate your copyright by training large language models.
Harper is both available as a language server, and through WebAssembly, so you can get fantastic grammar checking anywhere you work.
That said, we take extra care to make sure the Visual Studio Code, Neovim, Zed and Obsidian integration is amazing. Since Harper runs on your devices, it's able to serve up suggestions in under 10 milliseconds. No network request, no massive language models, no fuss.
Harper is completely open source under the Apache-2.0 license.
