Flowing documentation
Learn the full writing-with-context workflow—from your first PDF import to basis-backed polish.
Flowing is a desktop app for writing with context—not empty chat. Your reference PDFs stay on your machine and power recall, Q&A, polish, and continuation as you draft.
Four pillars
Recall
As you draft, Flowing finds passages in your PDF library that match keywords in your text. Click a term to see excerpt cards and preview the source page.
Ask with context
Attach a library or draft passage in a few clicks, then ask AI—no copy-pasting between PDFs and chat.
Basis-backed polish
Select a paragraph and get rewrite suggestions backed by your library. Each card shows which passages support the suggestion.
Continue writing
Place the cursor where you want to go next and generate new sentences backed by your library—insert at the cursor without replacing what you already wrote.

Follow these chapters in order, or jump to the step you need. Each guide includes screenshots from the app.
