r/Presswork

Hi everyone! 👋

After 18 months of development, today I'm officially launching Presswork —

the writing tool I dreamed of as a former editorial director (sold Jona

Editore in 2023, started Presswork shortly after).

**The problem I was solving:**

As an editor, I had spent years fighting with 4 different apps to take a

manuscript from draft to print: Word to write, InDesign to layout, Sigil

for ePub, Adobe to sign. Every step manual, error-prone, disrespectful of

creative time.

I built Presswork because I wanted a single tool that respected the writing

flow and produced professional outputs without manual exports.

**What it does:**

- A single `.pwk` document contains: text, narrative branches (Git-style

— try an ending, roll back), version history, automatic outputs

- No more "Save as": when you write, every format is already prepared

in the background (PDF/X-4, ePub 3.3 validated for Kindle, FDX for

Final Draft, ICML for InDesign)

- Offline AI editorial tools (Blurb, Synopsis, Metadata generator,

Consistency check) — NO cloud, NO upload, GDPR-safe

- Digital signature with RFC 3161 timestamp (legally valid in EU/Italy)

- Native cross-platform: Mac (Apple Silicon + Intel), Windows (x64 + ARM64), Linux

- Built with Rust + Tauri + Llama 3 + Typst + Pandoc

**Pricing:**

- Base: €99 — Essential writing + sign + export

- Editorial: €149 — Authors, screenwriters, KDP/Kindle workflow

- Pro: €149 — Professionals, batch PDF signing, analytics

- Studio Complete: €249 — Everything integrated

- Business: €995 — 5x Studio Complete for teams

Lifetime license. No subscriptions.

🎁 Code **LAUNCH20** = -20% off for the first 200 buyers.
