Long-form work stays coherent. AI stays in its lane.

Palim is a professional macOS workbench for writers, editors, researchers, and publishing professionals working on books, scripts, reports, research manuscripts, and other long-form projects. Editing, reviewable AI suggestions, route exploration, old-draft intake, recovery, and export stay together in one local-first workspace.

WHY PALIM

Built for the point where a long project becomes hard to hold in your head.

Palim turns the difficult middle of a long-form project into a controlled workspace: primary text, alternate routes, imported material, revision suggestions, sources, and delivery outputs each have a place.

01 / Manuscript-first editing

The active document stays central. Binder, AI Copilot, Revision Workbench, and support surfaces orbit the text instead of replacing it.

02 / Reviewable AI suggestions

AI can propose, compare, and explain. The author decides what enters the draft, with visible comparisons and activity evidence.

03 / Route exploration

Try a route without changing the current manuscript. Only selected scene or arc cards are adopted into the target route; manuscript, plan, and continuity remain separate checks in Adoption Review.

04 / Recovery and export discipline

Version history, diagnostics, preview, print proof, and export paths keep the project usable after major revision rounds.

WHAT IS IN THE WORKBENCH

A complete long-form operating surface.

Immersive manuscript editor

A focused writing surface tuned for long sections, CJK/Latin text, local history, and comfortable reading width.

Project-aware writing context

Attach selected drafts, briefs, research notes, source material, and other context to a writing or editing task while keeping the workspace focused.

Revision workbench

AI suggestions appear as reviewable comparisons. Accepted edits return through the manuscript's normal history.

Route exploration workspace

Compare alternate routes, preview selected scene and arc card adoption, then record manuscript, plan, and continuity checks in Adoption Review.

Old draft and material intake

Bring in outside draft files, reference libraries, and Scrivener projects directly as structured, editable project assets.

Preview, proof, and export

Publish structured manuscripts into reader preview, print proof, and standard exports while keeping layout separate from text.

0.2.3-beta.1 release evidence for Apple Silicon macOS

This public Beta strengthens document intake and project work across different kinds of writing. Imported documents keep clearer source evidence, verified HTML originals can be previewed alongside editable content, export and font handling are more reliable, and an empty Project Library now uses the same workspace with one primary project-creation entry.
