Lands: message tone reader

See how your message lands before you hit send. Tone help for non-native English speakers, at work and with family.

Lands shows you how your message will actually come across, before you send it. If English is not your first language, you already know the hard part is not grammar. Your sentences can be perfectly correct and still land wrong. A simple request can read like an order. A polite note can read as cold. A message to an elder can sound distant, and a message to a sibling can sound stiff. None of these are grammar mistakes. They are differences in how cultures express tone, warmth, and respect, and most writing tools never check for them. Lands reads your draft for tone and tells you how it lands to the specific person you are writing to. What it does: - Reads your draft right inside Gmail with one click. - Shows where your message falls on the scale from too soft to too blunt, calibrated to your reader. - Flags the exact lines that send the wrong signal, and explains why in plain language. - Rewrites the message so it lands right, while keeping your meaning and your own voice. Tell Lands who you are writing to, and it adjusts: At work - A teammate, your manager, a client, or someone who reports to you. - Read against US business norms, where directness is fine for some readers and risky for others. With family - A family elder, or a younger or same-age relative. - Here warmth and respect are the bar, not business formality. Lands catches a note that sounds cold or curt to an elder, and a message that sounds oddly stiff to a sibling. Why people use it: - Sound the way you mean to, instead of hoping you got the tone right. - Learn as you go. Every flag comes with a short reason, so over time you need it less. - Keep your voice. Lands fixes tone, it does not turn your words into someone else's. Privacy: Your draft is sent securely to analyze its tone and is not stored by Lands. You are asked to agree before anything is sent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time. Built for non-native English speakers who want to come across clearly and kindly, at work and at home.
