Fullpoint

Features

Revise, review and send work back, with every change accounted for.

Fullpoint looks like a quiet writing app. Underneath, it keeps every version and remembers who wrote what, so revising your own work, reviewing someone else’s and sending it back to a client is calm and exact.

Show changes and Suggest mode

Show changes marks what’s different in the text you’re editing, compared with the last saved version, any version you pick, or the moment a draft began. Words that were added are green and underlined; words that were removed are struck through in red. A whole new paragraph is simply tinted green.

Suggest mode is tracked changes done gently. Turn it on and every edit becomes a suggestion with its author and time, for you or a client to accept or reject one at a time or all at once.

Who made each change is shown by a coloured bar beside the paragraph, never by colouring the words: blue for you, plum for the assistant, and a colour of its own for each reviewer, chosen to stay distinct for colour-blind readers. A paragraph edited by two people gets a split bar.

Show changes turned on while writing. “well” is struck through in red and replaced by “at all” in green; a new sentence is green and a removed sentence is struck through. A blue bar beside each changed paragraph marks the edits as yours, and a small card offers to put the old wording back. The Review list on the right holds a reviewer’s comments and the changes, each with its old and new wording.

  • Three ways to look

    All changes in the text, a simple bar in the margin, or the original as it was, read-only.

  • Was and Now

    The review list shows each change as it was and as it is now, so you can judge it without hunting through the page.

  • Sentence by sentence

    Changes are matched sentence to sentence, so a rewritten line reads as an edit to that line, not a jumble of words.

  • Put it back

    Hover over or click a change to see who made it and when, and put the old wording back in one step.

Versions and drafts

Fullpoint saves a version whenever you pause for a moment, switch documents, leave the app or quit. Press ⌘S to save one with a name of your own, like “Sent to client”. Open the history to see any version’s changes in the text or side by side, and restore it if you need to; a restore is saved as a new version.

A draft is another take on a document, such as a different ending or a shorter cut. Each draft keeps its own history. Compare it with the main text paragraph by paragraph, then bring across the changes you want, one by one.

The main text compared with a draft called “Darker ending”, paragraph by paragraph. The draft’s new words are green, the words they replace are struck through in red, and two new paragraphs in the draft are tinted green. A thin red mark in the draft shows where a sentence was cut. The panel on the right lists the six changes, and a button offers “Use changes from this draft…”.
The opening of the main text above the same passage in a draft called “Darker ending”. In the main text “just”, “grey” and “Tomorrow she would.” are struck through; in the draft, “long” and “black” are green.

The assistant

Select a passage, or nothing for the whole document, and ask for a change in your own words, or use a quick action like “Tighten this”. The assistant is Claude, from Anthropic. It reads the whole document so its edit fits, but it only revises the passage you chose.

Its suggestions appear in your text as green and red marks, with a short note on what it changed and why. Accept or reject each one, then apply. A rejected change leaves a small mark in the margin while you review, in case you change your mind.

Your text is saved as a version first, and the applied edit is saved as a separate version marked as the assistant’s, so the history always shows which sentences you wrote.

The assistant’s panel for “Tighten this”: its note (“Made the opening more vivid, softened the sleeplessness, cut a line that gave the ending away, and added a sound to the market scene”), then each change as Was and Now with Accept and Reject. The first change is marked rejected.

  • Your own key

    Add your Anthropic API key once. It’s checked with Anthropic, then kept encrypted in your Mac’s keychain.

  • A spending limit

    Set a monthly limit and Fullpoint estimates each request’s cost before sending it, and stops before going over. The usage meter shows what you’ve spent.

  • House style included

    The assistant follows your folder’s house style, and says so in its note when it brings a passage into line.

  • Quick actions

    Tighten this, Fix grammar and spelling, Make it clearer or Make the tone warmer, in one click; or ask in your own words.

Comments

Select some words and add a comment. Reply, resolve and come back to it later. Comments sit in the side panel, or as cards in the margin beside the words they’re about.

A comment holds on to its words as the text changes. If the words go, it holds on to their sentence. If both disappear it’s kept in a separate list, never silently dropped, and it comes back if you undo.

The Comments panel, four comments. Ann Lee asks about “reached the harbour just before dawn”: “Do we need ‘just’? It softens the opening a little.” Sam Writer replies: “Keeping it. The rhythm needs the extra beat.”, with a box to reply. Two more of Ann Lee’s comments follow, on “She had not slept at all.” and “in the village”, then a folded list: “Text was changed or removed, 1 comment”.

Checks and house style

The house style sheet belongs to the folder you work in, so a client’s rules apply to every document for that client: spelling (UK, US, Australian or Canadian, with Oxford -ize as an option), the serial comma, numbers, quotes, dashes, heading case and your own preferred words.

The Checks panel lists what doesn’t match: mixed spellings, inconsistent hyphens and quote marks, long sentences, the passive voice and repeated words. Each kind of check can be turned off.

Spelling is checked as you type, in the language you choose for each document, and works offline. Step through each misspelling, change it once or everywhere, learn the word or ignore it.

The Checks panel, with Consistency, Prose and Typography folded away and Spelling open, checking in Australian English: “Teh”, “niether”, “thier”, then “biulding”, found 3 times, with “Change to building”, “Change all 3 to ‘building’”, Learn and Ignore, then “uncharacteristicaly” and “Zqxvrbt”.

  • Typography, tidied

    Curly quotes, proper dashes and ellipses as you type, and a one-click clean-up for text pasted from elsewhere.

  • Formatting marks

    Show paragraph ends, spaces and line breaks (⌘8), with double spaces and stray spaces before punctuation picked out.

Read aloud

Hearing your words is the oldest proofreading trick there is. Fullpoint reads the selection or the whole document aloud and highlights each sentence as it goes, so a missing word or a clumsy rhythm stands out.

Use your Mac’s own voices, or download a natural-sounding voice once (about 97 MB). The natural voice runs entirely on your Mac and works offline: your writing is never sent anywhere to be spoken.

Read aloud in progress: the sentence being read, “The boats were still and the water was grey.”, is highlighted in the text. A small player below the text shows “Reading, 3 of 12” with back, pause, forward, speed and stop buttons.

Word and PDF

Clients still send Word files. Import one and its tracked changes come in as suggestions you can accept or reject, and its comments come in as comments, with their replies, on the same words.

Send work back as a Word document, with your suggestions as tracked changes and your comments if you like, so the client sees exactly what you did. Headings, lists, tables, pictures and footnotes come along. Or export a PDF, or print.

Export as Word document: two ticked options, “Include suggestions as tracked changes” (Word shows who suggested each change, ready to accept or reject) and “Include comments (5)” (with their replies, and whether they’re done), then Cancel and Export.

A calm place to write

Your documents are ordinary text files in a folder you choose, saved as you type. If the app ever closed unexpectedly, your words would already be on disk.

  • Rich text, plain files

    Headings, lists, quotes, links, tables, pictures and footnotes, stored in files any text editor can open.

  • Find what you need

    An outline of your headings, search across every document, and find and replace with match case and whole words.

  • Page view and focus

    See roughly where pages will break, or hide everything but the text, with typewriter scrolling if you like it.

  • Light, dark or sepia

    Choose a theme, a serif, sans or mono screen font, and a page width. The text in your files is never changed by how it looks.

  • Counts and targets

    Words and characters for the document or the selection, reading time, and a word target for each document.

  • Fast with long work

    Built to stay responsive with book‑length documents.
