A writing and research workspace for macOS that feels like yours. Local-first. Endlessly customizable. Beautifully transparent.
Direct download and Mac App Store release in preparation. macOS 26 required.
One workspace, shaped by your wallpaper, your colors, your mood.
A clean canvas. Three panes waiting for your first thought.
Notes, folders, tags, and metadata. Your project takes shape in the binder.
Open a PDF in the side pane. Annotate. Extract quotes. Never leave your workspace.
Reference anything. A video, a webpage, a second document. All right there.
The Brain Map reveals relationships between your notes you didn't know existed.
Switch the wallpaper. Switch the theme. The workspace adapts. It's still yours.
Every feature exists because a writer needed it.
Liquid Glass turns every surface of the workspace translucent. Your wallpaper shows through the binder, the editor, the inspector. Adjust the glass strength per pane. Layer a Shield for privacy. Choose from 200+ appearance settings to make it feel like an extension of your screen, not a window on top of it.
Import PDFs from Finder, annotate them with highlights, underlines, comments, and freehand ink. Then extract those annotations directly into linked notes with source metadata. Click "Open Source" on any extracted note and jump back to the exact spot in the PDF. A complete research loop, local and private.
The Brain Map turns your notes into a living, force-directed graph. Each node is a note. Each edge is a shared tag. Clusters form around related ideas. Click any node to open its note. Pin nodes to lock them in place. Zoom out and see your entire project as a constellation of connected thinking.
Rogue Editors are independent, floating windows with full editing power. Open a second note, a third, a PDF. Each one has its own formatting toolbar, its own zoom, its own identity. Pair them with the Liquid Clipboard, a persistent scratch pad for collecting snippets from anywhere in your research.
Rich text with headings, lists, custom bullets, images, shapes, tables. A Color Ring for instant palette access. A Bullet Ring for custom list markers. Page View for print simulation. Focus mode to dim everything except the paragraph you're writing. Typewriter mode to keep your eyes centered. Forty-three keyboard shortcuts, all customizable.
The binder holds your entire project in a hierarchical tree. Folders nest inside folders. Notes have rich text titles, custom icons from SF Symbols or emoji, color-coded tags, and pin-to-top priority. Seven sort orders. Templates for repeating structures. Drag and drop for instant reorganization. Auto-tagging that styles words as you type them.
The complete list, organized by what you're trying to do.
