Pinery Help
Pinery is a Mac app for writing, designing, and publishing books with Markdown—and an AI companion called Prose.
What is Pinery?
You write in Markdown, preview layout in Design (and a Kindle simulator), and export to PDF, ePub 3, or a multi-file HTML site. Prose can draft chapters, proofread, illustrate, and search your manuscript in plain language.
A Pinery project is a book (.pinery bundle) made of chapters (Markdown files), assets (images), and a stylesheet that controls typography in Design and export.
