It seems that the native app is trying to do Spell Check in card descriptions, and I don’t see how to disable it. My OS is in Spanish, but I write in English in Fibery, so everything is “red.” In the web version, I have disabled Chrome spell check, and everything is fine.

Sorry to revive this thread but it seems like the latest update has caused the spell-checker to be completely disabled. I wasn’t able to find any options (even in the hidden top-menu) to enable it in the app. ---

Is there any update on this issue? It isn’t super critical but it is quite annoying not having any spell check capabilities. ---

I use grammarly, and now it’s working fine with the native app. ---

@Ivan so is using an external spell checking app (e.g. grammerly) the only option? I thought there might be an option to enable or disable (or better yet select the language for the spell checker). I was confused by @mdubakov reference to the release notes, because it seems to indicate that the spell checking is enabled by default in the desktop app but that doesn’t seem to be case (at least in the Windows app). ---

I’m afraid that until they add a setting in the desktop app, your best option is to use the browser version like an app. At least in Windows and with Chrome the experience is very similar to having the desktop app (you can have a shortcut in your taskbar) [Use web apps - Computer - Google Chrome Help](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/9658361?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) The main drawback is that new tabs will be opened in the browser instead of in a tab like in the desktop app. ---

Using the web app makes sense. Although I have come to depend on the ease of the multi-tab interface (I know it can be done in chrome just as easily). The other main advantage of the app is that it remembers open tabs, which might not be the default behaviour you want for your main browser. I did a bit of digging and it seems if you are willing to unpack the app, you can manually enable spelling checking with one change. Obviously this will get replaced with the next update. I am planning to play around and see if I can add a menu item to the “Edit” menu to allow users to turn spellchecker on/off and possibly change the language from system to a specific language. The code is minified, so it is a bit hard to read, especially for a non-developer like me but I’ll try and reply back if I’m successful. Here are the steps to enable spellchecker in case anyone else needs this change desperately: 1. Find the location where the app is installed. Navigate through the directory with the latest fibery app version (currently it is app-2.1.0) and into the `resources` directory. 2. Open command line in the “resources” library. 3. Unpack the app resources using asar extract: `npx asar extract app.asar unpack` 4. Navigate to `unpack\.vite\build` directory and open `main.js` file in code/file editor 5. Replace `spellcheck:!1` with `spellcheck:1` or `spellcheck:true`. Save and close. 6. Go back to the `resources` directory and rename `app.asar` to `app_old.asar` 7. Repack the code: `npx asar pack unpack app.asar` Obviously this assumes you have node setup on your computer. ---
