Field guides to Folio Writer — from your first manuscript to Lua filters. Each one is short, honest about tiers, and written for people who'd rather be writing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
