Manzoni features


Write with on-device AI and full privacy

Manzoni runs AI models directly on your Mac. This means your drafts, edits, and prompts are processed locally, without being sent anywhere. You can write sensitive documents, personal notes, or early ideas without worrying about data sharing or training external models on your work.


Maintain your focus

The interface stays intentionally simple. Most of the time, you see only your text. Tools appear only when relevant, so your attention stays on writing, not on managing the app. With Markdown support, you can format as you type. Light and dark modes ensure long sessions are comfortable.


Generate drafts with prompts and templates

When you don’t know how to start, Manzoni gives you structure. The prompt library and template catalog help you generate initial drafts for academic writing, business documents, marketing content, journalism, creative projects, and more. Instead of starting from zero, you begin with a usable draft and refine it from there.


Polish your text with inline AI commands

Editing happens directly inside your document. You can rewrite sentences, improve clarity, or adjust tone using simple inline commands. If a paragraph isn’t working, you can ask for alternatives without leaving the editor.


Work offline, no setup required

Manzoni works without an internet connection and doesn’t require signup. Open the app and start writing. This makes it reliable for travel, focused work blocks, or any situation where you want a quiet, private writing environment.

    App version: 0.2.1

    I’m giving this app a hesitant thumbs up, because I’d like to see it grow. THE GOOD NEWS: This app makes local AI-assisted writing accessible when compared to approaches involving laborous technical installations. Sometimes these even require coding knowledge. I saw one review complaining that “it can only be used locally.” My brother in christ, that’s the point. THE BAD NEWS: It's one of the clunkiest writing app I’ve come across in awhile. It’s missing intuitive keyboard shortcuts, window sizing is clunky/huge, its name isn’t memorable (so good luck finding it later), and it’s brutally non-native (doesn’t behave at all like a typical mac app). And while it does have markdown support, it doesn’t support code blocks, indentation, or Apple’s writing assistant. It also doesn’t have personalization features like other AI tools. It’s viable, but not usable. Certainly not delightful. For now, I’m sticking with Apple’s writing assistant in native apps for the majority of related tasks.

    The functionality is too limited, and the models can only be used locally, resulting in poor performance.
