What MannyScript is

MannyScript walks you through writing a narrative review in ten steps. Its tutor checks your work against the criteria you set and tells you when something does not hold up. It does not write for you: every sentence in your manuscript is yours, and so is every decision.

Using MannyScript does not mean a journal will accept your paper. That is up to editors and reviewers.

Your account

One account is for one person. Keep your password to yourself, and tell us if you think someone else has got in — the account page can sign every device out. You are responsible for what is done under your account.

We may suspend an account that is used to attack the service, to run it by script, or to get around its limits or its paywall.

Your work is yours

You own what you write here — your question, your decisions, your notes and your manuscript. We store it so the app can work, and we claim no rights in it. You can export it at the last step and delete it whenever you like.

You are the author. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you write, for reading the papers you cite, and for telling a journal how you used AI tools; the last step asks you to write that line yourself.

What is free and what is paid

Starting is free: the first four steps of any review, and your first 3 screening decisions with the tutor working. The rest of a review — the remaining screening, extraction, appraisal, themes, the draft and the exports — is on a plan. There are two:

• Monthly, $59 a month: 3 reviews, which you can edit and export while your plan is active.
• Pay once, $249 once: 3 reviews, which you can edit and export for good.

A review uses one of your plan’s reviews when it goes past its first 3 screening decisions, not when you start it. Deleting a review does not give that back. Each extra review is $15. Extra reviews bought on Monthly and not yet used end with the subscription; on Pay once they stay. You can narrow, widen or re-run a review’s search as often as you need to; a different question is a different review.

Cancelling Monthly stops the next payment. Your plan runs to the end of the period you paid for. After that your reviews stay, view-only: you can read them, but not edit, export or use the tutor. Subscribing again opens them where you left them. Nothing is deleted because a plan ended. A renewal that cannot be charged is treated the same way once the paid period is over.

Moving from Monthly to Pay once: what you have paid on Monthly counts toward Pay once, up to $177. Your subscription ends when the upgrade is paid, with no further charges, and the reviews you already used count toward your 3.

Reviews unlocked with a single payment before plans existed stay open for good. Payments are taken by Stripe through its Link checkout, which is the seller of record for the transaction and handles any sales tax or VAT. The price you see includes tax. We never see or store your card details.

Refunds

If MannyScript is not for you, write to manny.script.app@gmail.com within 14 days of a payment and that payment is returned in full. Your reviews stay; without a plan they become view-only. After 14 days, ask anyway — we will be reasonable.

Nothing here takes away rights the law where you live gives you.

The tutor and its limits

The tutor is an AI model. It can be wrong, and it can miss things. Its notes are advice about the consistency and structure of your own work — not academic, medical or legal advice, and not a judgment of whether a paper is good science. When it is silent, that means it found nothing to flag, not that nothing is wrong.

Papers and outside sources

Paper records come from PubMed, CrossRef, OpenAlex, Unpaywall and Europe PMC. Those services belong to their owners and can be slow, incomplete or unavailable. We do not host paywalled papers.

Fair use of the service

Don’t scrape MannyScript, automate it, overload it, probe it for weaknesses without asking us first, or use it to store anything unlawful. Limits on how often the tutor and the search can be called exist so the service stays up for everyone.

Changes, and if we stop

We may change how the app works and what a future review costs; a review you have already unlocked stays unlocked. If we ever close MannyScript we will say so in advance and leave you time to export your work.

Liability

MannyScript is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, our liability to you for anything arising from the service is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
