Your files stay on your Mac.
Converting AsciiDoc to Emacs Muse translates your document's markup—headings, lists, links, bold, and italic—from AsciiDoc syntax into the Emacs Muse format. The output is a .muse file ready to open in Emacs and publish with Muse mode. The entire process runs on your Mac; no file is uploaded anywhere.
Drag one or more .adoc files into Convertessa, or point the CLI at a folder. Batch mode processes every .adoc in the directory in one pass.
Choose Emacs Muse from the output format list. Convertessa maps AsciiDoc structural elements—section titles, bullet lists, numbered lists, inline formatting, and hyperlinks—to their Muse equivalents.
Click Convert. Convertessa writes .muse files to your chosen destination folder. Open them in Emacs with Muse mode enabled and continue editing or publishing immediately.
Images, audio, video, documents, archives and eBooks — all converted natively, right on your Mac.
Pick a format you have — see everything Convertessa can turn it into.
Convert hundreds of files at once with per-type group defaults and individual overrides.
First-class support for HEIC, AVIF and WebP — encode and decode, both ways. Read JPEG XL and a dozen more modern formats too.
Drop files anywhere on the window. Native, instant, and exactly what you’d expect on a Mac.
Dial in compression, resolution and bitrate. Keep originals pristine or shrink for sharing.
Never overwrite a file by accident. Convertessa appends safe suffixes automatically.
Every job is logged locally. Re-run a previous conversion or revisit recent outputs in a click.
Bundle your converted files straight into a single ZIP, TAR or 7z — packaged and ready to share the moment a job finishes.
Right-click any file in Finder and choose Convert. A Quick Action handles it on the spot — no need to open the app first.
Shrink Convertessa to a tidy mini window that tucks into a corner — just a drop zone and a format picker for quick, one-off conversions.
No cloud. No account. No upload. Every conversion happens entirely on-device, using the power already in your Mac. What you convert is nobody’s business but yours.
Script conversions, wire them into your build, or batch a folder from the terminal. The same engine, no GUI required.

New formats, new features, and fixes — every release, on the record.
Section headings, unordered and ordered lists, bold and italic inline markup, hyperlinks, and plain paragraphs all map to their Emacs Muse equivalents. AsciiDoc-specific block macros that have no Muse counterpart are passed through as literal text so nothing is silently dropped.
Yes. Point Convertessa at a directory and every .adoc file inside is converted in a single run—convertessa ./docs --to muse. Output files land in the destination folder you specify, preserving the original filenames with a .muse extension.
No. Convertessa runs entirely on your Mac. Your .adoc files are read locally, converted locally, and written locally. No network connection is required or used at any point.
