## What it is
Scramble is an open-source browser extension that uses LLMs to enhance writing directly on any webpage, acting as a customizable Grammarly alternative. Users can configure their own LLM provider, model, and endpoint, and define custom text-enhancement prompts.

## Use cases
- fix spelling and grammar on any webpage
- improve or make text more professional in the browser
- summarize or expand selected text with AI
- use my own OpenAI or Ollama key instead of Grammarly
- create custom AI writing prompts in a browser extension
- convert selected text to bullet points

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted or bring-your-own-key Grammarly alternative
- you need customizable prompts for text enhancement in the browser
- you use OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, OpenRouter, Ollama, or LM Studio

## When to avoid
- you need real-time inline grammar underlines or diff views (planned but not implemented)
- you want a fully maintained project with active development
- you need Firefox support today (coming soon)
