MS Office alternative: Public beta of SoftMaker Office 2026 launched
Summary
SoftMaker has launched the public beta of SoftMaker Office 2026 for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The suite adds interface changes, better support for scaled displays, new context menus, themes, and a darker dark mode. It also expands AI features, including ChatGPT, DeepL translation, LanguageTool integration, and new presentation-generation capabilities in the NX Universal edition. The release adds Markdown import/export, improved comments and review tools in TextMaker, and new spreadsheet functions in PlanMaker that narrow the gap with Excel. The beta remains free to test until July 31, 2026, after which existing NX subscribers will receive the new version automatically.
