Used BeLikeNative before? Version 2.0 has no account, new tabs and new prices. Your settings and saved corrections come with you.
See what changed in 2.0From mistake to fixed text without leaving the page
The panel sits next to your page, so you never copy text into another site.
-
Open the panel
Click the toolbar icon or press Alt+Shift+B. Right-click on selected text works too.
-
Click in your text
Click in an email, a form or a message box, or select text on any page. The panel picks it up and shows which site and language it came from.
-
Read the fixes, then apply
Each fix comes with a reason. Apply the ones you agree with and they go straight back into the field. Undo is one click away.
Four tabs and a word lookup
Each tab does one job. All of them work without an account.
Write
Fix and rewrite
Fix finds spelling and common grammar mistakes in English and tells you why. Rewrite gives your text a neutral, formal or friendly tone with Chrome's built-in AI.
Translate
Translate and check the meaning
Translate runs on your computer. A back-translation shows the result in your language again, so you can see if the meaning survived.
Read
Summarize or simplify
Get the key points of a long page or a selection. Or turn hard text into plain English.
Learn
Your own mistakes, reviewed
The fixes you apply become a list of the mistakes you make most. A daily review of up to 8 cards takes about 2 minutes.
Words
Look up any word
Select a word to see its meaning and an example, hear it, and save it for your review. The meaning comes from on-device AI and can be wrong.
Free work happens on your computer
The grammar checker is inside the extension. Translation, summaries and tone changes use the AI that Chrome runs on your computer. So your everyday writing doesn't travel anywhere.

If you used version 1
Chrome updates BeLikeNative to 2.0 on its own. Your language settings and the corrections you saved in Notes move over, and the old sign in data is deleted from your browser.
If you pay for version 1, you don't need to do anything now. We plan to move you to Pro 2.0 at the lower price with 3 free months, and we'll email you your licence key. The old server is planned to stop on 1 December 2026.
Common questions
Is BeLikeNative free?
Yes. Fix, Rewrite, Translate, Read, Words and Learn are free with no daily limit, because they run on your computer. You also get 5 cloud checks a day for free.
Do I need to create an account?
No. There's no account and no sign in. Pro uses a licence key that you paste in Settings.
Does my text leave my computer?
Only when you click a button marked Cloud. Then the text you chose goes to belikenative.com, then through OpenRouter to Anthropic, and our server doesn't save it. Everything else stays in Chrome on your computer.
Which languages does it check?
The grammar check on your computer reads English. Translate works between the language pairs that Chrome's translator supports. For other languages, use the Cloud deep check.
Does Apply work on every website?
Not on every one. It works in most plain text fields and in many web editors. Google Docs draws its text in its own way, so a fix may not reach the document there. If the text on the page doesn't change, copy it from the panel.
Why does Rewrite say it can't run on my computer?
Rewrite, Read and word meanings use the AI that's built into Chrome. It needs about 22 GB of free disk space and either a graphics card with more than 4 GB of memory or 16 GB of RAM, and some work computers turn it off. Fix, Translate and the Cloud check work without it.
Can I use it on my phone?
No. It needs Chrome 138 or later on a laptop or desktop computer.
I paid for the old version. What now?
Nothing today. We'll email you before anything changes. The update notes explain the plan.
