docflow.studio Docs

Your text. A finished document.

docflow writes nothing for you. It takes the text you already have and typesets it — as a web link, a PDF, and for the printer, all three looking the same.

In four steps

  1. 01Paste your text into the Studio. Blank lines between paragraphs are enough.
  2. 02Pick a layout — letter, offer, report, and so on.
  3. 03Open Profile & style: name, address, logo, colors, type.
  4. 04Finish: share link, PDF, or print.

Trying it out needs no account. You only need one to publish.

Writing your text

Just write normally. A blank line between paragraphs, dashes for lists — that is all it takes.

  • The first short line becomes the title.
  • Short lines with blank lines around them become section headings.
  • Lines starting with -, *, or 1. become lists.
  • Salutations and closing greetings stay paragraphs — never headings.

When you want to steer it yourself

Put one word and a colon in front of the line. The word itself never appears in the document.

Title:the main title
Subtitle:small line above the title
Section:a section heading
Recipient:an address, line by line
Note:highlighted box
Quote:featured quotation
Figure: 14 days | deadlinea large number with a caption
Offer (EUR, 19%):a price table below it; the total is computed
Closing:a call to action at the end — not a greeting
Divider:a dividing line
Title: Response to the notice dated 12 June 2026
Subtitle: Customer number 12345

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am responding within the stated deadline. The enclosed
evidence was not taken into account in the notice.

Section: Enclosed documents
- First document
- Second document

Note: Please confirm receipt in writing.

Kind regards

Markdown works too: headings, lists, tables, quotes, links, wikilinks, images, bold, and italic. You can paste an Obsidian note straight in.

The seven layouts

The layout decides the structure, the style decides the look. You can switch either at any time without reprocessing the text.

One-pager
Everything on one page: opening, key points, call to action.
Report
Longer text in sections. Cover page, contents, and numbering can be switched on.
Offer
Sender, recipient, line items — docflow computes the total from your own amounts.
Minutes
Attendees, decisions, and an action table with owners.
Letter
Correspondence with a letterhead from your profile.
Official letter
A4 to DIN 5008: address in the envelope window, fold marks, bold subject with no label.
Note / memo
Compact, for meeting notes and internal summaries.

Profile & style

Fill it in once and every document uses it: name or company, address, email, phone, logo, and signature. Only the layouts that need a sender show one.

For the style you pick a ready-made preset — the first seven are quiet and white, the last three deliberately expressive. After that, type size, density, and line width adjust in a few steps rather than free sliders. Every color shows its contrast ratio.

Upload a logo as PNG or WebP, light and dark separately; docflow picks the variant that suits the document surface. You can also add a transparent artwork layer as letterhead — it appears identically on web, PDF, and print.

The paper is A4 and can be set to US Letter; the share link, the PDF, print, and the page view all follow that one setting. Only the official letter stays DIN A4 — its address field would otherwise leave the envelope window.

If none of the eight type pairings fits, upload your own font — WOFF2, TTF, or OTF up to 2 MB, separately for headings and body text. It loads in the share link, the PDF, and print; the chosen pairing stays as the fallback in case the file never arrives.

Free covers every style preset, type pairing, colour preset, density, and line width — and the sender with name and address. Your own colours, logo, fonts, letterhead, and signature come with full access; the preview shows exactly what your account puts out. Publishing stores the state that was used, so later changes never alter a document after the fact.

Greeting, name, signature

You write the greeting. Everything below it is set by docflow — exactly once.

  1. 01You type “Kind regards” at the end of your text, like in any letter. It stays a paragraph and never becomes a heading.
  2. 02Directly below it, flush on the same edge, docflow sets your signature and your name from the profile.
  3. 03So do not type your name under the greeting yourself — otherwise it appears twice.

You store the signature once under Profile & style: type it and choose a handwriting face, draw it with mouse, finger, or pen, or upload a photo of your own — the white background is removed for you.

To sign one document differently, do it under Finish. That signature replaces the profile one for that document alone; a document never carries more than one.

The signature is an image in the document. It verifies no identity and is not a qualified electronic signature.

Finishing

Four ways out of the Studio, all from the same rendering: share link, PDF, print, and reuse — formatted text for Word, Google Docs, or Notion, or a .md file.

Web link, PDF, and print come from one source. Change the content, the style, or the signature and all three change together — a PDF that looks different from the page cannot happen here.

Published documents collect under Documents, with date, layout, and share link. There you can open them, export them again, sign them afterwards, or delete them together with their link. Drafts are not saved automatically.

Keyboard: Cmd/Ctrl+K opens the command palette, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+E exports the PDF, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P publishes.

Data

docflow reads your text to recognise headings, sections, lists, and emphasis. It adds no sentences, no facts, and no figures.

A share link is reachable by anyone who has it. For confidential content, consider whether a link is the right medium — or use the PDF instead.
