No Android or Linux app. Subscription is high (like others have said). Appears no offline version (might be wrong) and the text is stored on their servers be default unless you manually delete it. I'll not be using it but good effort though.

No subscription is required for the base version no account, either. Of course, the base version doesn't have all the features as premium, but it is still excellent, in my opinion. I have used the free version for years. There is an offline version, as it is open source. The full text isn't stored on the servers, but you can always just deploy it yourself for maximum privacy: https://dev.languagetool.org/http-server https://dev.languagetool.org/http-server Furthermore, there are options for docker: https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool#docker https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool#docker

  Does it work on Linux? Debain?

    There is no reason you can't deploy the Java server nor run the docker container on Linux. Or do you mean a native client for Linux? For my Ubuntu machine as a client, I just use the web extension for Firefox and I also use the Visual Studio Code extension. I am most happy that my READMEs don't have such stupid errors anymore when I push them publicly where anyone can see. LOL

    I run the Java server fine on my Lunix box and clients on Linux & ChromeOS use the browser LibreOffice plugins to connect to it over HTTP. Works great.

    yeah, i have it via yunohost, which is debian-based

  Is the text sent to the servers? That’s effectively the same thing.

It won't work in the terminal (would it on MacOS regardless?) but I wouldn't consider that a downside. I'll be waiting for the Emacs package myself, but I doubt I'll have to hold my breath.

  There’s already Emacs package, but it works only with offline version. https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-langtool https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-langtool Now that I checked, looks like there’s another package, but I didn’t t try it. https://github.com/emacs-languagetool https://github.com/emacs-languagetool

Is there an alternative that provides an offline version?

There is surely a version for Linux. I have been using it in my computer with Archlinux [1] for a couple of years with vim (there are at least two plugins [2,3]). It works pretty good. The only thing is that when running it locally it kind of uses a lot of resources. So not so good when you are with your laptop running on battery.
