AI parses editor decision letters into structured reviewer task lists using Claude or a local Ollama model, and looks up journal submission guidelines via Perplexity.
This tool is built for academics and research teams — think university labs, clinical researchers, or small consulting firms that publish peer-reviewed work. You get a clean, focused way to manage submissions without a spreadsheet, and the one-time price is genuinely fair. The catch: it only runs on Mac, and most small businesses outside academia won't have a use for it.
