Pinery

What it is

Pinery is Heberti Almeida's Mac app for authors — a self-publishing platform that went from a farm in Alberta to the Mac App Store. AI-assisted writing and publishing workflow for independent authors who want to write, format, and publish without a traditional publisher.

Who it's for

Independent authors who want to self-publish professionally without navigating the technical complexity of formatting, layout, and distribution separately.
