How to disable autocorrect for only one application in OSX?

Question

I know there is an option to disable autocorrect for all applications, but how do I disable autocorrect for only one application?

Turn off Autocorrect per Application

You can do this in "Edit" menu for that Application under "Spelling and Grammar" and disable "Check Spelling While Typing".

I didn't think it was possible, but you have shed the light. Thank you. – Ralph David Abernathy Jun 10 '15 at 5:06

I want to expand on @Grizzwald's answer as that sadly won't always work.

IF "Correct Spelling Automatically" is grayed out for your Application (which was the case for me using the Todoist app).

THEN you'll (unfortunately) need to turn this off for all Applications under:

This was disabled (grayed out) for the application I was using since I wasn't centered on a text input field. Once I was in "writing mode" it became available. – Steve Tauber Jan 2 '18 at 22:45
