Antidote 11.6.1 for Mac is the writing-assistance suite from Druide informatique, the Canadian company that has developed it for over 25 years. It goes far beyond a spell checker: a single click runs your text through an advanced corrector covering spelling, grammar, agreement, punctuation and typography, and pairs it with deep dictionaries and language guides in the same window.

Version 11.6.1 is a late maintenance release of the Antidote 11 generation. The current edition is Antidote 12, sold as a perpetual licence, while the Antidote+ subscription adds the web and mobile apps plus server-powered features such as Reformulation — and Druide offers a 30-day free trial of Antidote+. There is no free full version of the desktop software.

Key Features

• Advanced corrector that flags errors with clear explanations and one-click fixes
• Style filters that catch repetition, redundancy, weak phrasing and typography issues
• Rich dictionaries: definitions, synonyms, antonyms, expressions, word families and conjugation
• Detailed language guides — hundreds of articles on grammar, style and punctuation
• Anti-Oops! technology that checks emails for mistakes and missing attachments before sending
• Integrates with Word, Outlook, browsers and many other Mac writing apps

How to Download

1. Download from the official site — this is Druide's current Antidote page.
2. Choose the perpetual Antidote 12 licence, an Antidote+ subscription, or start the 30-day Antidote+ trial.
3. Download the Mac installer from your Druide account, install, and activate with your licence or subscription sign-in.

Is Antidote free?
No. The desktop corrector is paid software, either as a one-time perpetual licence or through the Antidote+ subscription. The honest free route is the 30-day Antidote+ trial offered on the official site.

Does Antidote work in both English and French?
Yes. You choose a language when you buy, and an optional module adds the second language so Antidote can correct bilingual documents, processing both languages at once.
