## Docs

- [AI guardrails: control what Dear's AI can write](https://docs.trydear.app/ai/guardrails.md): Guardrails let you define syntax and framing patterns that Dear will automatically rewrite or remove from AI suggestions and rewrites.
- [Inline completions: AI suggestions as you type](https://docs.trydear.app/ai/inline-completions.md): Press Tab to accept AI-generated continuations in Write mode. Control suggestion length, response delay, and how closely completions match your voice.
- [Voice blending: mix styles in AI suggestions](https://docs.trydear.app/ai/voice-blending.md): Blend up to four named writing styles — including your own voice — by setting percentage weights that Dear passes as style instructions to every AI suggestion.
- [Voice learning: Dear learns how you write](https://docs.trydear.app/ai/voice-learning.md): Dear tracks the words you type — not AI completions you accept — to build a voice profile that makes AI suggestions sound more like you over time.
- [Documents: how Dear saves and manages your writing](https://docs.trydear.app/concepts/documents.md): Learn what a Dear document contains, how to create and open documents from the document list, and how saving works locally and with cloud sync.
- [Index cards: capturing and organizing ideas](https://docs.trydear.app/concepts/index-cards.md): Understand how index cards work in Dear — how AI generates headers and topic tags, what card statuses mean, and how to add, edit, and reorder cards.
- [Outline and Write: Dear's two-mode workflow](https://docs.trydear.app/concepts/outline-and-write.md): Learn how Outline and Write work together in Dear — use Outline to capture and plan your ideas, then carry them into a focused draft in Write.
- [Dear: a writing workspace that keeps you the author](https://docs.trydear.app/introduction.md): Dear is a document workspace for writers who want to stay in control. Plan ideas as index cards in Outline, then draft on a focused Write canvas.
- [Focus mode: write without distractions in Dear](https://docs.trydear.app/modes/focus.md): Focus mode in Dear hides the toolbar and UI chrome so only your text is visible. Move the pointer to reveal controls, then keep writing.
- [Outline mode: capture ideas and build your plan](https://docs.trydear.app/modes/outline.md): Use Outline to gather raw ideas as index cards, arrange them into a structured plan, and send that plan to Write with a single click.
- [Write mode: draft on a focused writing canvas](https://docs.trydear.app/modes/write.md): Write mode gives you a full markdown editor with optional AI Tab completions, an adjustable text column width, and focus mode for distraction-free drafting.
- [Language bank: vocabulary Dear builds from your writing](https://docs.trydear.app/profile/language-bank.md): Dear builds a language bank from your saved writing — words, phrases, and transitions — and uses it to make AI completions sound more like you.
- [Account settings: name, email, and sign-out](https://docs.trydear.app/profile/settings.md): Manage your Dear account: update your display name, sign out of your current session, or permanently delete your account and all associated data.
- [Your writing stats: words, streaks, and activity](https://docs.trydear.app/profile/stats.md): Dear tracks your human-written word count, consecutive writing days, and themed activity over 30 days. View and share your stats from your profile page.
- [Get started with Dear: from idea to finished draft](https://docs.trydear.app/quickstart.md): Sign in, open a document, capture your ideas as index cards in Outline, shape them into a plan, then send that plan to Write and start drafting.
