Mac academic writing workflow
An academic writing app for Mac students who live between sources and Word.
CitationDesk is being built for the student moment where sources, notes, drafts, citations, and Word formatting all have to come together for a real assignment.
Most writing tools do one piece well.
Students often collect sources in one place, read PDFs somewhere else, take notes in another app, then rebuild the final draft in Word. CitationDesk keeps the academic structure visible: school, course, assignment, sources, notes, writing desk, and export.
Apply for Student PilotAssignment-first
Work from the paper outward instead of starting with a giant undifferentiated library.
Source notes
Keep reading notes and evidence connected to the source they came from.
Citation flow
Use APA, MLA, Chicago Author-Date, or IEEE direction without losing the draft context.
Word handoff
Export to Word for final formatting, proofreading, and submission.
Built around real coursework, not a blank document.
CitationDesk is in private preview while the Mac workflow is tested against real assignments.
