Mac

A macOS writing app that reads your manuscript: AI editor, research agents, and export — print-ready PDF, web-format copy, and manuscript images. Free 2-week trial. A macOS app for people who take Japanese writing seriously — vertical text, your manuscript, and the research, all in one window. Core brings drafting, reference, and revision into one workspace: an AI editing partner that has read your whole project, reference search that returns only real sources, and a Writing Certificate that shows a person wrote the work. — AI Editor — the partner that knows your work The AI has read your entire project. Ask it to evaluate an opening, sharpen a piece of dialogue, or test an idea against the rest of the manuscript. Unlike generic AI tools, it answers in the context of what you've actually written. — AI Research Agent — sources you can trust Ask the AI to find a citation. It searches scholarly databases (National Diet Library of Japan, Library of Congress, Open Library, Internet Archive) and returns only real sources — never fabricated references. — A real writing editor • Vertical and horizontal layout • Ruby (furigana) and emphasis dots, rendered correctly • Word count and 400-character manuscript-page count • Distraction-free full screen — Project management • Tree structure for manuscript, notes, and reference material • Corkboard for chapter overview • Outliner for building the plot — Writing Certificate — showing a person wrote it Core records how a manuscript was written, locally, and can issue a certificate that estimates the work was written by a person. The record never leaves your Mac. — Your work stays with you Manuscripts are saved as .core packages on your Mac. No cloud lock-in. Your text is never used to train AI models. — Import and export Bring in existing Scrivener projects and Word (DOCX) files. Export to PDF, DOCX, EPUB, or plain text. — Who it's for — • Writers working on a single piece across many sessions • Anyone who wants AI assistance without losing control of the manuscript • Japanese-language writers who need vertical typesetting that doesn't fight them • Writers tired of context-switching between editor, AI, and research browser — Pricing — • Pro plan: $7.99 / month • Max plan: $26.99 / month • 14-day free trial on the Pro plan — Requirements — • macOS 15.0 or later • Apple Silicon or Intel • Internet connection required for AI features — Support — Email: contact@corewrite.app Privacy: https://corewrite.app/privacy Terms: https://corewrite.app/terms — About the developer — Core is built by a single developer who wanted a writing tool worth using session after session. Every feature ships only when it earns its keep in real writing sessions.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Improvements - Saving is now sturdier. When your work syncs through iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, or a similar service, there is far less risk of losing text to an unexpected save. If two versions of a page come into conflict, Core now keeps the changes from both wherever it can; where the changes fall inside the same paragraph, the second one is kept as an alternative, so you can decide between them yourself later.
