Textual Desk Classics2026

Textual Desk is an offline collation notes tool designed for readers of classical books, humanities students, and collectors of different editions. It is useful when reading facsimiles, punctuated editions, traditional-character texts, or multiple editions of the same work, helping you record textual variants, collation judgments, page references, and review status. The app requires no login, uses no network connection, and collects no personal data. All book records, editions, variants, and notes are stored locally on your device, making it suitable for maintaining a long-term personal archive of classical reading research. Core features include: 1. Book and edition records: create base texts, comparison editions, facsimiles, punctuated editions, and other version files for the same work. 2. Variant comparison notes: record original text, variant text, source, page, line, and your judgment by volume or section. 3. Collation note management: use tags for wrong characters, omissions, additions, transpositions, taboo variants, punctuation questions, and more. 4. Review progress tracking: mark entries as to check, verified, doubtful, or adopted to avoid repeated lookup. 5. Local search and export: search by title, edition, keyword, or tag, and export organized results offline.
