Composition mode, typewriter scrolling, and the focus lenses — the quietest writing setup on macOS.
Daily entries from your template, filed by date, with a calendar in the binder.
A local model, Apple Intelligence, or your own account — proposing tracked edits, never overwriting.
Sections, folders, and subdocuments you outline, reorder, and lay out on a corkboard.
Inline #tags and Keywords feeding one index, with project-wide rename and tag: search.
Wikilinks, backlinks, and atomic notes — a thinking system beside the manuscript.
Frames, mind maps, connectors, and image export — thinking space beside the draft.
Copies you take on purpose, and the automatic ones that save you anyway.
Conflict-safe merging and automatic version history on every device.
The free companion: the full binder, editing, and conflict-safe sync on the go.
A research PDF, a Word file or a web capture open beside the editor — searched, highlighted, annotated, and quoted straight into the text with its citation.
References as .bib files, inserted by author and year, rendered as you write.
From a blank project to a compiled PDF — structure, citations, math, and figures.
Readable snapshots of web pages, kept in the project so sources survive link rot.
Code cells that execute in the preview and drop their figures into the manuscript.
PDF, Word and Typst from the phone: what is uploaded and for how long, Typst or LaTeX, cross-references, and the on-device alternative.
Label a figure, a table or an equation once, refer to it anywhere, and let the compile do the numbering — with the editor showing you the result as you write.
What each renderer is for, and how the same manuscript compiles through all of them.
quarto-journals extensions, publisher templates, and figures that re-run at compile.
Reveal.js decks from the same project — headings to slides, executed figures included.
Rewrite the document tree before it becomes PDF, Word, or LaTeX.
Broken cross-references, missing citations, and dangling links — caught before compile.
A sealed project the server stores but can never read — what works, what can't, and how recovery and key rotation fit.
Publish a template, a tutorial or a document for others — live edit, read-only, or view only — and keep your original private.
Suggestions, comments, and revision passes — in the editor and in the exported file.
Send tracked changes out, bring reviews home from Word and PDF, build the response letter.
Bring .docx manuscripts in, send .docx with native revisions back.
Plain files, tracked changes, and review tools that fit co-authors who don't use Folio Writer.
