Refine enables deep integration with the macOS ecosystem
Refine is specially optimized to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of text processing applications on the macOS platform. These include Pages, Notes and TextEdit, which come with the system, as well as mainstream third-party apps such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs (desktop version). This deep integration is demonstrated by the fact that there is no need for users to manually configure or switch between apps, just keep Refine running in the background and get real-time grammar checking support in all scenarios that support text input.
Specifically, Refine automatically detects and immediately flags grammatical problems when users enter English content in any of the integrated applications. For example, when composing a business email in an email client, incorrect verb tenses are instantly highlighted; when writing an academic report in Pages, inappropriate academic terms are suggested for professional replacement. This smooth integration experience greatly saves users the time and cost of switching between multiple applications, making the writing-revision workflow more efficient.
As an added bonus, Refine's integration mechanism takes full advantage of macOS's system-level APIs, providing interactions natively through menu bar icons and system notifications, maintaining a consistent user experience specification with macOS.
