Manzoni
Private AI Writing Companion
Overview
Manzoni is a privacy-first AI writing application for macOS that runs powerful AI models directly on your machine with no cloud, no data sharing, and no tracking. Featuring a clean, distraction-free interface focused entirely on your words, Manzoni offers contextual menus when you need them and eliminates clutter when you don't. Use inline commands to edit text directly in your document, ask Manzoni to brainstorm ideas to overcome writer's block, and leverage a prompt library to start writing without staring at a blank page. Format your content without leaving the keyboard and work completely offline—even on airplanes or in remote areas—with local AI processing that requires no account and keeps your writing completely private. Perfect for writers who value both powerful AI assistance and complete privacy, Manzoni combines the best of both worlds with a simple one-time payment and no subscription.
