A document, not a dashboard.md
Manuslate showing its document library, outline, and live Markdown editor

Everything around the document.

A focused editor when you write. A structured library when the collection grows.

Write without translating your thoughts

Live typesetting keeps Markdown punctuation quiet until you need it. Switch to reading, source, or split view without changing the file beneath.

  • GFM, tasks, tables, footnotes
  • Math, code, links, and images
  • Find, replace, outline, focus mode

Let a folder become a library

Import files or whole folders, preserve their relative paths, then classify documents your way. A visible selection mode handles documents, imported folders, and categories together.

  • Recoverable batch removal
  • Backlinks and broken-link checks
  • Document and heading search

Know exactly where every edit lives

Recovery drafts protect unfinished work. File permissions, disk writes, outside changes, and conflicts remain visible instead of disappearing behind a sync status.

  • Automatic and named versions
  • External-change comparison
  • Local Recently Deleted

Your writing stays ordinary. That is the point.

Manuslate adds a considered workspace around Markdown without taking ownership of it. Move your files, open them elsewhere, or leave the app entirely—the writing remains readable.
