A little less interface. A lot more document.

Meet the new reading experience: thoughtful typography, a visual library, complete exports and a dark mode that is yours to choose.

Nodary document reader in dark mode with a section outline and visual references
Inside Nodary · Demonstration data

A design brief, a research note or a production plan deserves space to be understood. We have rebuilt Nodary’s document reader around that moment: when you stop editing and start taking it all in.

Settle into the document

An editorial layout gives titles, text, tables and visual references a clearer rhythm. Choose serif or sans-serif type, adjust text size and page width, then use the outline to jump to a section. Switch to images and back without losing your reading position.

Your workspace theme, from the first preview

Documents now follow the app’s theme by default, including column previews and expanded reading. The Auto button returns to that behavior whenever you want. Choose an independent dark mode with the moon button, or Paper in Reading appearance. Tables, diagrams, the outline and gallery follow the reading palette. Your choices stay in this browser, and Reset reading preferences restores the defaults.

Give references their own space

See the document’s images as a gallery, a contact sheet or a focused view. Open an image to zoom and move between references with the keyboard. When it is time to share the work, use Markdown, CSV, JSON or the PDF print layout from the reader.

Try it in your workflow

  1. Open a document preview or the editor’s reading view; it follows your workspace theme by default.
  2. Use Auto to follow the app, or choose Dark or Paper for independent reading.
  3. Explore Images, jump through the outline, or expand the reader.
Try the example

These changes apply to the document reader. PDF export uses the browser’s print layout; Markdown keeps links to media rather than bundling their files.

Keep exploring

The Home of Frostline Studio, a fictional games studio, in Nodary: under Your projects, the name of Project Kestrel has turned into a field holding the new name, Glasswing, typed in place beside its 3 documents, with Ember Tactics and Tidewater below and the documents to jump back into above.
Teams and access

Rename a workspace or a project where you see its name.

Press F2 on a project’s or a workspace’s name, or choose Rename in its menu, and the name becomes a field where it stands: on Home, in the top bar, on the map, in Columns or from Ctrl+K. Every open tab follows, and the team’s history keeps each rename.

Design pillars of Saltmarrow, a fictional sample project, in Nodary’s editor, opened from the map: Back to the map · Vision at the start of the header, the words “The tide is the clock” selected in a heading with the bubble above them offering B, I, U, S, Link and Turn into, then Clarify, Shorten, Tone and Comment, and below, a list whose items keep their bold “Do:” and “Don’t:”.
Documents

Write by hand, with the keys you already know.

A new document has a line to type on, bold and links stay in lists and tables, a bubble formats what you select and the shortcuts of other editors work. The way back from a document names where it goes, and gets there.
