Manuscripts
Manuscripts is a writing and research organisation app for macOS designed for authors, academics, and journalists working on long-form content. It provides tools for drafting, editing, managing research notes, organising references, and structuring complex documents like books, theses and dissertations. The app integrates citation management, outline tools and distraction-free writing modes to support the entire writing workflow from initial research through final draft.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about Manuscripts in our search results, so we cannot confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available. Given that Apple will remove Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028) — less than 28 months away — we recommend contacting the developer directly to ask about Apple Silicon support and their timeline for a native release if one does not yet exist. Check the app's official website or support channel to see if an update addressing native Apple Silicon is already available, or ask the vendor when to expect one. If the developer confirms that no native version is planned, you may want to begin exploring alternative writing and research management tools that already run natively on M-series Macs, such as Ulysses, iA Writer, or Bear, to plan your transition ahead of the Rosetta 2 cutoff.
