Manuscripts helps you track every academic paper from draft to publication — all on your Mac, with no subscription.
Track every manuscript through six workflow stages: Draft, Pre-submit, Submitted, Under Review, Revision, and Decision
Store a reusable author library with affiliations, ORCIDs, and emails — add a collaborator to a new paper in two keystrokes
Log every version with a date and note, linked to the submission that triggered it
Check journal requirements before you submit using a built-in, searchable journal database
Upload editor decision letters and let AI parse reviewer comments into a structured task list
Sync deadlines directly to macOS Reminders and Calendar with automatic backups on every launch

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.
