Rich abstract editor

Write your abstract with a full markdown editor — headings, bold, lists, links, and more.

📋

Structured lists

Track related work, todos, required equipment, and future directions as editable line-item lists.

💾

Auto-save

Everything saves automatically as you type. Never lose an idea mid-session.

One workspace, three rhythms

Make room for the research work that happens between drafts.

01 — Capture paper ideas

Give every promising thought a place to grow.

Shape a paper from its first title and abstract through related work, to-dos, equipment, and future directions. Notes and a free-form Scratchpad keep the fragments close without forcing them into a draft too early.

02 — Track applications and deadlines

See grants and job opportunities before they slip away.

Keep organizations, roles, and deadlines together, then move each application from draft to submitted, pending, accepted, or rejected. Your next decision is always visible.

03 — Organise and share documents

Build an archive that is ready to hand off.

Nest documents in folders, define the fields your project needs, and return to any version. Share a view or edit link, invite collaborators by email, and export polished work as .docx, PDF, or Markdown.
