The foundation — define your working title, degree type, discipline, institution, dates, research question, methodology, supervisors, and intended contribution. Everything downstream flows from here.
Twelve interconnected tools for navigating your research journey — from proposal to defence
You need to write a thesis. Research, structure, and defend your work. The Thesis Pond delivers 11 purpose-built tools in a single HTML file.
The Thesis Pond is a self-contained, browser-based research management environment delivered as a single HTML file. It bundles twelve interconnected tools split across two halves: the Pond (project management) and the Forge (AI-powered analysis). The Pond side handles your Research Brief, Literature Vault, Writing Tracker, Milestones, Supervisor Log, Research Budget, Decision Journal, Progress Wheel, and Dashboard. The Forge side connects to local or cloud-based AI models to analyse your work through configurable research lenses, stress-test arguments with dual-model synthesis, and run adversarial arena sessions. Your research question, methodology, supervisor notes, and literature never leave your machine.
The foundation — define your working title, degree type, discipline, institution, dates, research question, methodology, supervisors, and intended contribution. Everything downstream flows from here.
Upload and organise your sources into three weighted folders: Core, Supporting, and Working Notes. The Forge reads these to ground its analysis. Each entry stores filename, folder, summary text, and file size.
Track chapters and sections with word counts, completion status, and notes. The Dashboard rolls up total words written and percentage complete.
Define your research timeline — proposal, ethics approval, fieldwork, draft chapters, submission, defence. Status tracking with overdue warnings feeds the Dashboard.
