Featuring artists such as Tunng, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Four Tet, Arooj Aftab, Leifur James and Nala Sinephro, the playlist moves between contemplative folk, dreamy electronic textures, spiritual jazz influences and alternative pop sensibilities.

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.
