Segue

Every full stop is a fork in the road. When you end a clause, Segue suggests the transition word for your next move, and it only speaks up at the moment a sentence can turn. Nothing pops up while you're writing, nothing gets underlined, and nothing gets graded.

You write the way you already do. When you end a clause with a full stop, comma, semicolon, colon, question mark, exclamation mark, dash, or ellipsis, Segue reads the mark, because each one asks for a different kind of next move. A comma asks for a hinge, a semicolon for a more formal turn, and a colon for an example.

Then four transitions show up, grouped by what they do to your argument. Tab picks one, Enter puts it in, and if you keep typing they disappear. The library is 105 hand-picked transitions sorted into eight rhetorical moves: contrast, cause and effect, addition, example, sequence, conclusion, emphasis, and concession. It rotates its lists so the same four words don't echo down your page.

Matching a mark to a word is a local lookup, so there's no model to call and no request to make. Your writing never leaves your device and it keeps working offline.

People who write: students, researchers, journalists and editors, copywriters, and anyone else who knows the sentence is right but the turn into the next one isn't.
