What Antescript does

Write in blocks

A page is a stack of blocks. Type / on an empty line for the block menu, and keep typing to filter it. Each block has a handle to drag it, or to turn it into another kind, colour it, duplicate it or delete it.

• Headings, paragraphs, quotes and dividers.
• Bulleted and numbered lists and to-dos, which nest.
• Toggles that fold away what sits under them, and callouts in five kinds: note, tip, important, warning and caution.
• Code blocks with syntax highlighting, and tables.
• Images, video, audio and files, pasted, dropped or picked from the menu, and readable only by people who can open the page.

Markdown as you type

# and a space makes a heading, - a list, 1. a numbered one, [] a to-do, > a quote and ``` a code block; **bold**, *italic* and `code` work inline. Select text for the toolbar: bold, italic, underline, strike, code, links and colours. Undo and redo are your own, so they never take back someone else’s typing.

Templates

An empty page offers Use a template under its title. Eleven forms come built in: for building, a decision record, a spec, a plan, meeting notes, a spike and a retrospective; for everyday work, a launch plan, a pitch outline, a lesson plan, a trip plan and a draft outline. The picker says what each is for before the page fills. Any page can be a template for the whole workspace.

Mentions and Linked from

Type @ to mention a page, or to make one from what you typed. Rest on a mention for a peek at the page’s first words. Every page lists the pages that mention it under Linked from, at its foot.

Write together

Everyone on a page edits at the same time, and the edits merge without anyone losing text. The header shows who else is on the page, and each person’s cursor carries their name as they type.

Comments

Select text and choose Add comment: the thread sits beside the words it’s about, to reply to, react to and resolve. Comments in the sidebar lists every open and resolved thread in the workspace. Editors write comments and viewers read them, and they stay beside a page, never in its markdown.

History

A snapshot of a page is kept every few minutes of editing and when the last person leaves. History, above the page, lists them with a preview; restoring one is an edit like any other, so anyone typing keeps their text, and the page as it was just before is kept too. Snapshots thin out with age, on every plan: every one for a day, one an hour for a week, one a day for ninety days, then one a month. Free shows the last 7 days of them; Starter and Team show them all.

Organize

Pages nest: drag one onto another to put it inside, or above or below one to reorder. Groups are named sections of the sidebar. A shared group is the same for everyone in the workspace; a private one is yours alone, hidden even from the workspace’s owner until you share a page from it. Star the pages you come back to for Favorites, and Recent remembers where you were. A page with two headings or more has a rail of its sections at its left edge. The trash keeps what you move there for 30 days.

Search

Search, or ⌘K (Ctrl+K off a Mac), looks through every title and the text of every page in the workspace: titles first, with a snippet around each match, and your recent pages before you type. It finds only what you may open.

Share

Invite people by email as editors, who write, or viewers, who read; each invitation is mailed. Share gives one page, and nothing else, to one person, to edit or only to view. A workspace’s owner decides who may invite, who may share pages, and what agents may do there.

Publish to the web

Turn on Publish to the web, under Share, for a public address anyone can read without an account, in the theme you choose, with the pages under it if you like. It arrives as plain HTML, so it reads without scripts; search engines stay out unless you let them in, and a shared link unfurls with a card. Turning it off takes the page back and keeps its address for next time. A private page can’t be published.

Three themes

Chosen once when you first sign in, and changed any time from the account menu. Each comes light or dark, or follows your device. A published page reads in the theme you pick for it, and in each reader’s light or dark.

Hareg

Indigo for what you act on and vermilion only as a rubric, with a hareg, a plait in the manuscripts’ four inks, above a page’s title. The default.

Terminal

Monospaced headings and one signal colour, with code blocks that stay a terminal.

Ledger

Brutalist monochrome: hairlines, heavy type, hard shadows, and no colour but your collaborators’ cursors.

Import and export

Import markdown files, a folder, an Obsidian vault or a zip: folders become a page tree, and images and links come along. A Notion export imports whole, on every plan. Export a page as a .md file, or the workspace as a zip that imports back the same. Markdown has the dialect and Leaving Notion the steps.

Agents

Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP client reads and writes your pages as markdown through Antescript’s MCP server, signed in as you, and what it writes merges with what people are typing. Agents has the steps and the API under them.

With Gatherd and TakeOne

Antescript comes from the team behind Gatherd, one tracker for every product you run and the agents that work on them, and TakeOne, where you record the demo and your agent does the edit. A page or design you publish here shows inside a Gatherd ticket as it looks here, and stays current as you edit it.

What it leaves out

Databases with views, relations and formulas; a desktop or mobile app, as it runs in the browser, on a phone too; and offline editing. The FAQ answers the rest, and Antescript and Notion says when it fits.
