Cliches are phrases that were once vivid but have been repeated so often that they now feel stale, like at the end of the day, low hanging fruit, think outside the box and a perfect storm. This finder scans your writing against a large list of well worn expressions and highlights every match so you can replace them with fresher language. It reports how many cliches appear and lists the specific phrases found, which is handy when you are polishing marketing copy, essays or fiction where original wording carries the most weight. A stray cliche is not a crisis, and some are useful shorthand, but a page full of them makes writing sound generic. Use the highlights to decide which phrases to rework. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your document is analyzed privately and never sent to any server.
