One-click design manualRight-click a collection and get a multi-page A4 brand manual — cover, palette specifications, logo plates, type specimens. A Pro tool; with your AI key, it comes written and typeset like the real thing, in the brand's own fonts.
The standard edition needs no AI key: one click produces a clean, complete manual — a cover with the palette, your CVI notes as the guidelines page, per-color specification cards with HEX/RGB/HSL and legibility checks, logo plates, and type specimens rendered in the actual fonts. Instant and local. (Design-manual generation is a Pro feature; this edition just doesn't need a key.)
With your key, the manual becomes editorial:
The finished PDF is filed straight into the collection's Documents, badged “Made with Pocket CVI” with a Premium or Standard chip, and surfaced as a banner at the top of the brand sheet — one click to open. Regenerating replaces the old copy, after asking. And like everything else in the kit, it syncs to your other Macs.
The footer reads “Generated with Pocket CVI” — and adds “using Claude AI” or “using ChatGPT” only when the AI's prose actually made it into the document. AI-written pages carry a small “Written with…” credit. Your deliverable never overstates itself.
Yes — design-manual generation is a Pro feature. The standard edition is instant and local and needs no AI key; the premium edition adds AI-written guidance typeset in the brand's own fonts, and for that you also bring your own Claude, ChatGPT, or local-model key.
The collection's own font files — the same ones in the kit's Fonts section. A kit without fonts falls back to an elegant serif so the premium edition still looks distinct.
In the collection's Documents section, badged and bannered at the top of the kit. Open it in Preview to print or save a copy anywhere.
Turn any collection into a multi-page A4 brand manual — instantly, or written and typeset by AI in the brand's own fonts.
