The report reveals surprising data about reading habits. Researchers found that readers retain more information from physical media.

at the efficiency of

AI.

Mark up any Word document with your Apple Pencil, exactly like paper. Caret reads the marks and writes them into the file.

Why paper?

Paper is still the best editor.

Editors, lawyers, teachers: the people who edit for a living still print documents and mark them up by hand. Not out of habit. You genuinely catch more errors on paper, it's tactile, studies show handwriting improves memory and cognition, and every word stays your call. Real editing, not prompting an AI to rewrite for you.

But for people who edit by hand, there has never been a good way to get those marks back into the digital file:

The outdated process

01Print the documentevery draft, every revision round
02Mark it up with a red penthe only part that works
03Sit back down at the keyboardthe context switch
04Manually retype every change into Wordslow and mind-numbing
05Hope you didn't miss anyerror-prone to the very end

Features

Everything paper does.
None of what it costs you.

Mark up like paper

Strike a word out, caret in a phrase, circle a paragraph. The same shorthand you already use on a printout.

Read in seconds

Lift the Pencil and Caret has already interpreted the marks. No tap to confirm, no menu to open.

Real .docx out

A standard Word file, not a proprietary export. It opens in Word, Google Docs and Pages exactly as expected.

Formatting survives

Styles, numbering, headers and tracked changes stay intact. Retyping is what breaks documents; Caret never retypes.

Original untouched

Every accepted edit lands in a fresh copy. You cannot lose work you did not approve.

Any document

Contracts, manuscripts, theses, scripts, reports. If Word opens it, Caret marks it up.
