Independent authorship proof

Human intellectual outputs are uniquely valuable because of their origin. With MCHA, you can preserve evidence of your authentic writing process from first draft to final export.

It's also a powerful editor in its own right. With Direct Citing, Code-Free LaTeX/PDF output, Snapshots, auditable AI assistance, DOCX interoperability, and a focus on Semantic Editing, it ticks many boxes for professional authors and academics.

How it works

Using MATCHA for independent writing

Step 1

Research and write

Use the built-in word processor and browser to research and write your documents.
Step 2

Preserve your writing process

Preserve evidence of your authentic writing process from first draft to final export. When enabled, MATCHA captures a replayable record of drafting, revision, and in-app browsing activity so you can show how the document was actually produced.
Step 3

Share or export your work

Share MATCHA documents with or without their history, or export cryptographically signed .docx files that can be verified as MATCHA-produced while staying compatible with normal editorial and client workflows.

Key features for authors

Auto Citing

When you copy text from a supported source, MATCHA automatically adds the corresponding bibliography entry to your library, puts the quoted text in quotation marks, and adds a citation. Right-click the pasted text to return to the original source.

Direct Citing

Type some keywords and select a search result from one of the many supported citation indexes. MATCHA adds your citation to the text, the bibliography, and the reference database. Direct Citing is available with Writer Plus and Writer Pro.

LaTeX input/output

With support for LaTeX importing and exporting (as well as PDF rendering), MATCHA is designed to satisfy the needs of writers who want the highest-quality finish. It also supports advanced features such as cross-references and automatic numbering. It does all this fully visually, though raw LaTeX commands are supported by its hassle-free, built-in LaTeX renderer.

Professional deliverables and client trust

For professionals paid to produce documents, AI can undermine trust. MCHA helps you show that paid work was actually performed by documenting the process and producing verifiable exports.
