Getting started with QueueWrite
Install QueueWrite, activate your licence, connect a writing API, and produce your first article.
Updated
QueueWrite is specialised native macOS software for researching, writing, reviewing and publishing high-quality articles. This guide walks through a first successful run.
A Mac, a QueueWrite licence from Lemon Squeezy, and at least one writing API account (DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter). Research, Contextual Images and WordPress are optional.
- 1Install QueueWrite
Download and install the Direct QueueWrite Mac app for your machine. Open QueueWrite from Applications when installation finishes.
- 2Activate your licence
Open Settings → Licence. Paste the licence key from your Lemon Squeezy purchase receipt or customer email, then activate. One licence is for one person and can be activated on up to two Macs.
- 3Create a project
Create a project for the website or content stream you are working on. Projects keep writing, research, and publishing settings together.
- 4Let QueueWrite learn the website (when applicable)
If the project is tied to a site, use Learn Website so QueueWrite can gather context such as services and terminology. You can refresh later, or forget learned context if you need a clean slate.
- 5Connect a Writing API
In Settings → Providers, choose DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter. Paste your API key and use Test & Save. QueueWrite will not write articles until a writing connection is ready.
- 6Optionally connect Web Research
Add a web research provider such as Tavily when you want source-backed web research before writing.
- 7Optionally connect Academic Research
Add Consensus when you want optional academic evidence alongside (or instead of relying only on) web research.
- 8Add work with a Generation Source
Choose an Article Type (what QueueWrite writes), then add jobs with a Generation Source such as Paste Titles, Rewrite URLs, Import CSV, or Local Matrix. See Generation Sources in the Help Centre for details.
- 9Review the result
Read the draft in QueueWrite. Use review and repair tools where needed before you publish or export.
- 10Publish or export
Publish to WordPress when a project connection is configured, or export the finished article for use elsewhere.
In the Direct macOS app, provider credentials are stored in macOS Keychain and used by QueueWrite to talk to the provider you selected. Never email or message your API keys to QueueWrite support.
