Author permissions
Your work stays yours, even when someone else is reading it.
Share a manuscript, lyrics, an essay, a thesis, or any written work through a protected reader. Anyone who wants to copy it, download it, or run it through an AI testing service has to ask you first.
Start sharingRecipient-specific links
Each reader gets their own link with an optional expiry. Revoke it at any time.
Ask before copying
Copying, downloading, and submitting to an external AI testing service all require your approval.
Traceable pages
Every page carries a private recipient reference, so leaked copies can be investigated.
A full record
Views, requests, decisions, downloads, and revocations are kept in one history.
What we promise honestly: WritingDesk controls access and sharing inside its platform and records your decisions. It cannot watch external AI services, block every screenshot or camera, or erase copies already downloaded. Watermarks support an investigation; they are not proof on their own.
