Collaborative LaTeX that keeps the whole history of your paper.
Revisenda is an online LaTeX editor for papers with several authors. Everyone writes in the same file live, as in Overleaf. The difference: the project keeps every version, the reviewer comments and your replies, and the decisions behind the text, so anyone can see what changed and why, months later.
Free while in early access. No card needed.
Two authors in the same LaTeX file, the PDF beside it, and a decision kept with the paper.
Write live, in LaTeX.
Same file, same moment, and the PDF compiles beside you. Import your Overleaf zip and nothing about writing changes.
Reviews in, replies out.
Paste the reviewer reports. Each point is tracked, you answer next to it, and the response letter or rebuttal is assembled from your answers.
Come back after weeks.
What changed, who changed it, and why. Every version, discussion and decision stays with the paper.
See it in 80 seconds
Captioned. Catch Up, live co-writing, discussions that become decisions, and one-press compiles.

Why we built it
You were away for two weeks and the paper moved. There is a new version, forty messages you half-read on your phone, and a section that has clearly been rewritten. Somebody decided something. You can see what changed. Nothing anywhere tells you why.
Writing tools keep the text. They forget the argument that produced it: the discussion that settled a notation, the reviewer comment that forced a new experiment, the version that actually went to the journal. Revisenda keeps all of that with the manuscript, so coming back takes two minutes instead of an afternoon, and so the answer to "why did we assume that?" is still there a year later.
There is AI in it, in its place: it summarizes what changed, drafts a reply to a reviewer, and finds the passage you half remember. It only ever proposes. A person accepts every change to the paper.
Where this is up to
It works and it's in daily use, but it is early. The group using it is still small enough that when something breaks, it gets fixed the same day. Try it on one paper: a new draft, or the revision you're about to start.
It's free while it's early. Here's what it will cost when it isn't, so you can budget (short version: the owner pays, everyone invited is free forever, and you get 30 days' notice before billing starts). Your manuscripts are yours: you can export everything as a zip at any time, and delete your account and its data from inside the app. Who can see your work explains exactly where things are stored and who can read them.
Built by a statistician who got tired of reconstructing why a paper says what it says. If you've lost an afternoon to the same thing, we probably agree about the problem.
