About Galley
Galley is a browser-based toolkit for academic writers managing active submission pipelines. Everything runs locally — no login, no server, no data leaving your machine.
Submissions
Your pipeline in one place. Add each article you're working on or have submitted, record the journal, version, submission date, and current status. The dashboard shows how many pieces are under review, at R&R, and in your active pipeline at any given moment. If a piece is rejected, note the next target journal before you close it out.
Readiness
A pre-submission checklist that runs per article per citation style. Select an article and the style the journal requires — Chicago, APA, MLA, Harvard, or Vancouver — and work through document preparation, reference formatting, layout, and cover letter requirements. Don't submit until it reads 100%.
Revisions
A version log attached to each article. Each time you revise, add an entry: version number, date, and what changed. Over time this becomes a reliable record of how a manuscript developed from first draft to submission.
Style audit
Paste a passage and the auditor analyses it for structural patterns that signal formulaic writing: triadic padding, manufactured binary contrast, anaphoric stacking, escalating gravity, thesis restatement at close, hedging clusters. Each flagged sentence returns with the pattern identified, the phrase quoted, a diagnosis, and a fix principle. Use it at the late-draft stage, not the first.
Everything is stored in your browser's local storage. Nothing is transmitted except the text you submit to the style auditor, which is processed via the Anthropic API and immediately discarded. Clearing your browser data will erase your records — export or back up periodically.
