How it works
The platform focuses on the needs of academic and book authors: handling long documents with sections, references, and figures without slowing down, and letting co-authors work on the same manuscript.
As an open-source project, Manuscripts is free to use, but it has a smaller community and less active development than commercial writing apps. It suits writers who want a free, focused tool for long documents and are comfortable with a simpler feature set.
