Start with the basics
Verso Read mode on an essay

Verso opens any folder on your computer as a quiet document space. Your files stay plain Markdown on your local drive with zero cloud lock-in. Includes nested folder browsing, independent tabs, regex search, a book-like reading mode, and Momentum drafting to help you complete full drafts. One purchase covers both macOS and Linux.

01

Your folders, as they are

Open any folder and Verso shows its tree beside the page. Files stay plain Markdown on your drive, so every other tool can still read them.

02

Write, then read it like a book

Read mode sets the same file as clean prose. Double-click any passage to return to the source at that line.

03

See how your notes connect

Galaxy view maps the folder as notes, threads, and constellations, and Document Statistics follows each writing session.

Focus when the draft needs it

Focus Mode quiets everything but the current passage, and Momentum Mode keeps a first draft moving forward.
