Em and en dashes
The long dash is the most reliable tell. Swap it for the punctuation people actually type.

What it fixes
The four habits that make machine-assisted writing easy to spot, fixed without touching your meaning.
Curly quotes
Typographic quotes and apostrophes rarely come from a keyboard. They become straight ones.
Hidden characters
Zero-width spaces, non-breaking spaces and byte-order marks are invisible but easy to detect.
Stock phrases
Highlight or soften the filler: delve, tapestry, leverage, moreover, and "it is important to note".
Questions

Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The cleanup runs in your browser with plain JavaScript, and the page makes no network request with your text. The optional AI rewrite is the only exception: it sends your text straight from your browser to the provider you pick, with your own API key, and never through this site.
What exactly does deAIfy change?
Em and en dashes become a spaced hyphen, a comma, or a plain hyphen (your choice). Curly quotes and apostrophes become straight ones. Invisible characters such as zero-width spaces, non-breaking spaces and byte-order marks are removed or turned into normal spaces. Stock phrases such as delve, tapestry, moreover and it is important to note that are highlighted, or softened to plainer words. Code blocks, inline code and links are protected and never touched.
Will this make my text pass an AI detector?
No tool can honestly promise that, and deAIfy does not try to. It removes the mechanical tells that make writing feel machine-made. The best results come from reading the flagged phrases and rewriting them in your own voice.
What is the difference between Flag and Soften?
Flag leaves your wording alone and highlights each stock phrase so you can decide what to do. Soften rewrites them automatically: buzzwords become plainer words (utilize becomes use) and empty transitions such as moreover are removed, with the punctuation around them repaired.
Is deAIfy open source?
Yes. The same cleaning engine also ships as an Android and web app built with Expo. The source is on GitHub under the MIT licence.
