Linda Detector
A local, offline Windows app for reviewing possible AI signals in text
Linda Detector reviews English, Polish, and Russian text for possible AI signals, highlighting passages and producing reports, all running as a desktop app directly on your own Windows machine rather than sending your text to a remote server. That local-first design is a real privacy advantage over most AI detectors, which typically process your text on someone else's servers. Supporting three languages rather than English alone is also relatively uncommon for this category, and it's distributed through the Microsoft Store, a more established channel than a bare download link. The developer's own description is upfront that results can be wrong and do not prove authorship, an honest caveat that applies to every AI detector but is good to see stated directly rather than implied. It is Windows only, so it won't help Mac or Linux users.

FAQs
Can Linda Detector prove a text was written by AI?
No, the developer states plainly that results can be wrong and do not prove authorship, so treat it as a signal to investigate further rather than definitive proof.
Does my text get sent to a server?
