December 2024 & January 2025 Product Update: New Monthly Plan, Desktop App, and Improved Features

We’re excited to share what’s new at Gorby from the past two months. We’ve added a monthly subscription plan, made the app installable on desktop, and brought some new features to existing tools.

💳 New Monthly Plan

We’re happy to announce our new monthly subscription option! For just $6 USD, you can now access all premium features and receive 2,000 AI credits. What makes this plan special is its flexibility:

  • No auto-renewal: You’re only charged when you choose to activate a new month
  • Perfect for occasional users or those with varying writing needs
  • Simple license key redemption process
  • All premium features unlocked instantly

This plan is ideal for users who might not need premium features every month but want the full power of Gorby when they do. Learn more about how to activate your license in our guide to redeeming license keys.

🖥️ Gorby Desktop App

You can now install Gorby as a desktop application. When using Microsoft Edge, you can add Gorby to your taskbar and start menu for quick access. While it’s essentially the same as using Gorby in your browser, having it as a separate app can make it more convenient to access.

Check out our guide on how to install Gorby as a desktop app to get started.

✏️ New Sentence Highlighter setting

The Sentence Highlighter feature now lets you underline sentences instead of coloring them completely. Previously, the only option was to color the entire area behind the text, as if using a real highlighter. This new underlining option gives you more flexibility in how you want to visualize sentence lengths in your text.

📚 Expanded Synonyms Database

We’ve doubled our synonyms database! Now featuring approximately 20,000 of the most frequently used English words. You can access these synonyms by highlighting any word in your text and clicking the dictionary icon.

📊 New Readability Resources

We’ve added new readability tools that include detailed explanations, calculators, and historical background for:

New Calculators and Pages

Reference Materials

These tools help you better understand and optimize your content’s readability for your target audience.

🔜 Coming Soon

We’re working on updating our Readability Scores feature. The new version will mark words that belong to specific word lists (like Dale-Chall), show the formulas being used, and display relevant numbers (like sentence and syllable counts) that go into calculating each score. We also want to improve the sidebar layout to make it easier to navigate around the different tools.

🌟 Thank You!

Thank you for being part of the Gorby community and helping us grow. Your feedback continues to shape our development, and we’re excited to bring you even more improvements in the coming months.
