Good writing needs focus. Shared writing needs a clear host.

You host. You approve. You compile.

LocalLeaf brings people into your project without turning the document into someone else's workspace. You decide when the room opens and when it ends.

One focused place to write, talk, and compile.

The files, source, PDF, people, and messages stay in one working view.
