About

Global Health & data science researcher, systems architect, and developer of the macOS app, Manuscripts. As an academic, I know the pain of tracking and submitting manuscripts for peer review. It's a slog. Manuscripts is a simple, yet comprehensive tool for researchers who have outgrown the spreadsheet tracker. Reach out to share your feedback or story with me of how Manuscripts helped you organize revisions, track submissions, and stay sane (despite Reviewer 2).

Manuscripts.app - For academics who have outgrown the spreadsheet tracker

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.
