### Winter Clarity Bundle

The holiday season brings noise: endless lists, interruptions, deadlines — the kind of chaos that makes focus hard to find. The Winter Clarity Bundle brings together four tools designed to cut through that noise and help you enter 2026 with clarity, confidence, and a clean slate.

Launching today, the bundle includes four best-in-class apps for productivity and focus:

- **Raycast:** a lightning-fast, keyboard-first command palette for Mac; multiple **Product Hunt Golden Kitty** awards
- **Endel:** science-backed soundscapes for focus, rest, and sleep; **Apple Watch App of the Year** and **App Store Editors’ Choice**
- **Ground News:** the easiest way to stay informed, objective, and balanced
- **Craft Docs:** a powerful, beautifully designed workspace for your ideas on Mac, iPad, and iPhone; winner of the **Mac App of the Year**

From **December 8 to December 31**, get all four apps for a full year **over 60% off**, saving more than $230.

Already using one or two? Each app is also available **individually at 30–50% off** during the same period.

### Craft Assistant got better

#### 🎯 Smarter Suggestions

Open Assistant to find contextual prompts that adapt to what you're working on:

- **Selected text?** Get writing and editing suggestions
- **Working with code?** See code-specific prompts
- **In a collection?** Get data analysis ideas
- **Viewing tasks or calendar?** See organization prompts

Plus, create and save your own custom prompts (up to 20) for the tasks you do most often.

#### ✍️ Document Review

Before sharing your work, let Craft Assistant help you polish it. The new Document Review feature offers quick checks for grammar, spelling, document structure, tone, clarity, and formatting.

* * *

#### 🔍 Smart Search

Find what you need faster with our new AI-powered search agent. Instead of just matching keywords, Smart Search understands what you're looking for and explains why each result matters.

Smart Search goes beyond documents, it finds relevant blocks and passages, giving you the context you need without opening every document.

* * *

#### 🏠 Local AI Models

Using local models? We've made the experience smoother:

Local models now work with one message per conversation. These models have smaller context window meaning the more you want to do with them the worse they get. We want to ensure every interaction with Craft Assistant is a nice experience, so we optimised the way you can interact with them so in that scope they will be able to work better.

* * *

💬 **Help Agent**

Get instant answers about Craft without leaving the app. Our new Help Agent knows everything about Craft's features and can guide you through any question. Help Agent will consume AI credits, but we are working on to reduce the consumption as much as possible with the upcoming releases making it perfect for learning and troubleshooting.

### Full Space MCP and API are here!

The **Full Space MCP and API** unlock unrestricted access to every document, folder, and block in your Craft space, opening the door to deeper automations, advanced workflows, and powerful integrations.

You can now navigate and manipulate your entire folder hierarchy programmatically, including listing all folders with document counts, creating folders at any level, moving them, and even deleting them while automatically preserving their contents.

Document management gets the same level of flexibility, letting you list metadata from any folder, including trash and templates, and create, move, restore, or soft-delete documents.

Developers can also fetch any block by ID, enabling sophisticated cross-space operations while keeping links and relationships perfectly intact.

And with full-space improved search, you can now craft complex queries that combine literal text, character classes, grouping, alternation, quantifiers, lookaheads, and fixed-width lookbehinds.
