Product information
What this product does
Manuscripts is a Mac app for academics who've outgrown the spreadsheet. Draft, submit, revise, and repeat. Most tools pretend to be project managers or reference managers. Manuscripts does one thing: it tracks where your papers are in the submission journey—which journal, which round, which reviewers' comments triggered which revisions. One-time purchase. No subscription. No cloud. Your data lives on your Mac. Built for how academic work actually feels: slow, iterative, and often unglamorous.

Problem Solved
What problem does Manuscripts.app solve?
It's for academic researchers who manage multiple manuscript submissions across different journals. Today they juggle spreadsheets, scattered PDFs, and journal portals that time out, losing track of versions, deadlines, and reviewer comments. Manuscripts gives each paper its own jacket with a timeline of versions, submission checklists, and deadline syncing. For example, a researcher revising a paper for Lancet Digital Health can see the revision due date, the reviewer comments parsed into tasks, and the previous version history all in one place.
