Journalism · sourced nonfiction
Evidence-backed writing on Mac.
ronoo is built for work that has to stand behind its sentences. Pin sources to claims, keep every Moment of the draft, protect sensitive material in the Vault, and compile editions only when the publish gate is clear.

Pin a document, source, or claim to the range it supports. Pins survive edits, produce annotated editor copies and fact-check sheets, and keep publishing locked while a claim is flagged, unsupported, or orphaned.

Research beside the draft, not mixed into it
Canvas keeps cards, threads, and lenses on a board. Studio records and transcribes on-device, with speaker labels and quotes linked to exact audio time. Supporting material never silently becomes manuscript authority.
Protect what must stay sealed
Confidential notes and sensitive sources live in the Vault: encrypted, and structurally absent from agent workspaces, exports, and Spotlight.
Revision that shows its work
Every save is a Moment. Compare passages against earlier history, record why a flag was dismissed, and keep editorial decisions in the project record. No opaque quality score decides whether the prose is good.
Compile the edition you need
Produce editor, fact-check, web, ebook, print, and archive editions from one project. Available outputs include Markdown, plain text, DOCX, PDF, HTML, and EPUB.
Optional agents never own the draft
Connect a supported agent only when you choose. Scoped context. Vault excluded. Proposed edits on a separate branch you accept, reject, or split.

What is an evidence pin?
A pin fastens a document, source, or claim to a range in the manuscript. Pins survive edits and keep publishing locked while a claim is flagged, unsupported, or orphaned.
Does ronoo fact-check the web for me?
No. ronoo keeps your sources connected to the sentences they support and gates publish when claims are incomplete. You remain the journalist; the app holds the chain of custody.
Can I protect confidential sources?
Yes. Put sensitive material in the Vault. It stays encrypted and absent from agent workspaces, exports, and Spotlight.
