Sqritto in detail
From a quick letter
to the published manual.
See what Sqritto does for your everyday documents – with real screenshots from Sqritto and its sample documents.
01 / Letters
Letters that fit the envelope.
Write a letter the way you write an email: sender, recipient and subject at the top, then your text. The letter template places everything according to DIN 5008 – the address in the window of the envelope, the reference block on the right, fold and punch marks at the edge.
Private or business
Form A or B, with or without letterhead and footer. Labels, date format and greeting in English or German.
Write once, reuse
Keep your sender details and letterhead in a template of your own – every new letter starts ready to go.

02 / Invoices
Invoices that add up.
List the line items with quantity and unit price. Sqritto calculates the net amount, the VAT for every rate and the total, and adds the due date, payment terms and bank details.
Correct numbers, nicely set
Several VAT rates, the small-business exemption and currency, number and date formats in English or German.
From last month to this month
Copy the previous invoice, change a few lines, export – and keep every invoice as plain text with its full history.

03 / CVs & personal
Your CV, finally under control.
CVs, applications, invitations, flyers: with Typst you design the layout once and change the content in seconds – without fighting with tables, text boxes and page breaks.
Design without drag and drop
Columns, colors and fonts in a few lines of code – with exactly the same result on every computer.
Up to date in minutes
Add a new position and spacing, columns and page layout adjust automatically.

04 / Reports & manuals
Reports and manuals with structure.
For longer documents, write Markdown with a few extras. Sqritto adds a cover page, table of contents, numbered chapters, cross-references and running headers – and compiles the whole document in a fraction of a second.
Print quality
Typst handles hyphenation, ligatures, tables, footnotes, formulas and cross-references. Layout templates provide cover pages and running headers.
Ready for archives
Export PDF/A for long-term archiving or PDF/UA for accessible documents – a setting in the document options.

05 / Templates & library
Start with a template, not a blank page.
The library shows all documents in your workspace with a preview of their first page. New documents start from a template – each one complete with sample content that shows how it works.
Templates for everyday work
Letter, invoice, report, meeting minutes, technical documentation, architecture documentation – and blank Markdown or Typst documents.
Bring your own
Save any document as your own template, or start from a template on Typst Universe. Existing Typst projects can be opened directly.

06 / Editor & preview
An editor that knows your document.
Write on the left, see the PDF on the right – updated as you type. The editor completes elements and attributes, suggests values, links and images, and shows problems right where they occur.
Help while you type
Completion, inline error messages, a formatting toolbar, drag and drop for images and a command palette for everything else.
Jump between text and PDF
Click into the preview to jump to the source; move the cursor and the preview follows.

07 / Website export
A website from the same source.
For documentation, switch the preview to HTML and see your text as a website, including navigation and search. The export is a self-contained static site: put it on any web server, or open it straight from disk.
Everything readers expect
Landing page with chapter overview, sidebar, “On this page” with scroll spy, deep links to headings, image zoom, light and dark mode.
Search without a server
The full-text index is generated at export time and works even from file:// – ideal for intranets and offline manuals.

08 / Published site
Publish it anywhere.
This is what your readers get: a fast, accessible website without trackers or external requests. Fonts and scripts are part of the export, and an optional PDF download sits right next to the content.
Static and fast
Plain HTML, CSS and a small script. Deploy to GitHub Pages, any web space or an internal file share.
Yours to keep
The site runtime is released under MIT-0: no attribution, no license notices you have to carry around for our part.

09 / Elements
Elements for web and print.
Callouts, collapsible details, tabs, steps, cards, figures, badges, keyboard keys, formulas and footnotes are built in. Each element has an HTML and a Typst template – so it looks right on the website and in the PDF.
Define your own
Create elements per document: describe the attributes in a form, write the templates and see the result while you type.
Reuse everywhere
Your elements appear in completion and in the toolbar like the built-in ones.

10 / Design with Typst
Full Typst when you need it.
Data sheets, flyers, posters, certificates: write Typst directly and get the same live preview, completion from the Typst compiler and one-click PDF export.
The whole language
Functions, show rules, grids, tables, data from CSV and JSON – everything Typst offers, with packages from Typst Universe.
Embedded, not installed
The Typst compiler is part of Sqritto. No separate installation, no version drift between computers.

11 / Document settings
Layouts and options without code.
Title, authors, version, layout, cover page, table of contents, numbering, accent color, logo and PDF standard: the document settings edit your sqritto.toml – comments and formatting stay intact.
Switch layouts
Change the layout from technical documentation to report and back – the content stays as it is.
Text stays the source of truth
Everything the dialog changes is plain text in your project, visible in the version history like any other change.

12 / Versions
Every change, safely versioned.
Each document can keep its own history. Save versions with a short note, see what changed since the last one, compare any two states side by side and restore older versions – powered by Git, no Git installation required.
No more final_v3.docx
One file, many versions – each with date, author and a note on what changed.
Sync when you want to
Keep documents in sync across computers or with a team via GitHub, GitLab or any Git server.

13 / CI & server
Build in CI. Serve to your team.
The app, the server and the command-line tool are one program. Build documents in a pipeline exactly like the app does – same engine, same templates, same result.
Command line
sqritto build compiles a document to PDF, a website ZIP or Typst source and fails on errors – a quality gate for your docs.
Server mode
sqritto serve offers the full interface in the browser for a team, protected by an access token or behind your reverse proxy.
$ sqritto build ./handbook --pdf handbook.pdf --html handbook-site.zip
PDF: handbook.pdf
HTML: handbook-site.zip
$ sqritto serve --port 8080 --workspace /srv/docs
