Consensus

Read full description

Consensus is a brand-new app that helps writers process and organize the feedback they receive on their work. Using a simple two-step system, it encourages them to: 1) Distill the core ideas of each reader’s feedback into brief summaries 2) Group similar feedback using tags In doing so, a consensus is reached, helping to: • Validate suspicions about problem areas • Expose blind spots • Increase big-picture focus and reduce overthinking • Stimulate idea growth for new changes After the consensus has been found, what remains is a blueprint for future revisions with all feedback and files in one place. Other noteworthy features include the ability to: • Track progress on notes by flagging, prioritizing, and marking them complete • Sync work to iCloud for seamless access across all of your devices • Store originals and reader feedback files within a project • Link notes to their source file • Create profiles for readers and save their contact information • Divide large projects into subprojects for easier management • Organize feedback by section or draft Though built for writers, Consensus works for any creative field (and beyond). Privacy is our priority. Consensus never accesses personal data or files. Technical crash reports are the only information shared with us to ensure a bug-free experience.
