Presswork is not a website: it is a Rust + Tauri app with instant access to local files. Zero latency even on 500,000-word novels.
Native Rust + Tauri
Instant launch, no browser, no cloud. Write, click, export.
Ideal for teams who want a native editor with a full workflow.
Handle long texts with no slowdown or cloud dependency.
Local files, total privacy, and certified exports.
One platform from data to final output.
Software is the shared engine. Dedicated plans unlock the modules your work actually needs.
You're an author or screenwriter. You need FDX, ePub 3.3, and PDF/X for Amazon or cinema.
Explore EditorialYou're a professional. You need batch signing, data-driven mail merge, and charts in documents.
Explore TablesPresswork doesn't rely on slow cloud services. It integrates pdftotext binaries directly into the software package to ensure total privacy and instant speed when editing PDFs.
Tools that work for you, not the other way around. Manage complex texts as easily as a notepad.
Safe recovery
Save every variation of your text. Experiment with big changes and return to any point with one click. No more fear of losing the original work.
Document map
Move chapters, scenes, or paragraphs by dragging them. Presswork reorganizes everything instantly, keeping numbering and references correct.
Built-in archive
Connect research, references, or notes directly to the text. Everything you need is always in sight, without switching apps.
Your publishing assistant is already inside. While you write, Presswork analyzes your project for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, checking margins, bleed, and image resolution in real time.
Don't wait for portal upload errors: fix them while you create.
Presswork supports local models (Ollama / Llama 3). AI analyzes style, suggests rewrites, and checks character consistency without a single word leaving your PC.
It is the only AI that truly protects intellectual property.
Select dozens of contracts, invoices, or documents and sign them all in a single operation. Each file receives an RSA digital signature and an RFC 3161 timestamp. No repeated clicks, no wasted time.
Import a data sheet, pick a template, and generate all personalized documents in batch: letters, invoices, contracts. Presswork substitutes the variables, exports PDF or Markdown for every row, and saves files with automatic client name and date.
Enter data directly in the built-in grid without leaving the editor. Create bar, line, or pie charts in one click, insert them into the document, and include them in the PDF export. The grid automatically detects numeric columns and ignores VAT numbers and dates.
Export for cinema with the Final Draft standard. Full Title Page, SmartType, and scene breakdown support. Your script is ready for global film production.
Your digital parachute. Before publishing, Presswork checks your file for Kindle and tablet compatibility, automatically fixing invisible technical errors.
Export to Adobe InDesign with precise style mapping. Collaborate with designers and typesetters using their tools, without incompatibilities.
For authors it proves the novel is theirs; for professionals it's a timestamp on a contract. Sign and timestamp during export.
Turn an old publication into a modern digital asset. Effortlessly.
Drag your PDF. Presswork extracts text at 75 pages/sec while preserving the spatial structure of chapters and tables.
The text is now Fluid Writing. Use AI for cleanup or the Navigator to reorganize the structure with one click.
Generate a validated ePub or a print-ready PDF/X. Your book is back in the global spotlight.
Integrated RSA digital signature and RFC 3161 timestamping. Sign a single PDF or an entire folder of documents in one operation. Every file receives a cryptographic seal with certified date and authorship, directly in the app, no cloud involved.
