Split-screen workspace

Put the tools you use together on one screen — translate on the left and take notes on the right, or keep a calendar beside your writing. Drag the bars to resize; your arrangement is remembered on this device.

Setting up your workspace…

Why a workspace rather than more tabs

Most of the work these tools do is comparative. You are reading something in one language and writing in another, or checking a reference while you proofread a paragraph, or looking at a date while you write it into a plan. Two browser tabs make that awkward: you lose your place every time you switch, and neither tab can see the other.

Panes here load only when you choose them, so opening the workspace does not download every tool on the site. Each one is the same component as its own page — the Japanese translator, notes, calendar and the writing tools all behave identically here — and the arrow in each pane header opens the full-size version if you want more room.

Everything still runs in your browser. Notes written in a pane are the same notes you see on the notes page, because they share the same local storage.

Frequently asked questions

Which tools can I put in a pane?

Notes, the Japanese translator, the romaji converter, the calendar, the Excel shortcut reference, and the writing tools: grammar checker, paraphraser, readability, tone, citations and similarity.

Does it work on a phone?

The panes stack into a single column on narrow screens. Two tools side by side on a phone leaves each about 160 pixels wide, which is not usable, so the layout adapts instead.

Is my layout saved?

Yes, in this browser's local storage. It is not tied to an account and will not follow you to another device.
