Built for the long haul
Every tool you need to go from blank page to finished manuscript — without the monthly bill.
Clean writing editor
Live word count, auto-save every 1.5 seconds, and nothing in your way. Just you and the page.
Chapter & scene structure
Drag chapters and scenes into any order. Restructuring your story is as easy as moving a card.
Character profiles
Build out your cast — backstory, appearance, relationships. Keep everything in one place so you never lose the thread.
Plot timeline & corkboard
See your whole story at a glance. Pin scenes to a timeline or lay them out on a corkboard while you plan.
Daily writing goals
Set a word count target and track your streaks. Small sessions add up to finished books.
Lore & codex
A reference library for your world — magic systems, factions, locations. Write it once, access it anywhere.
Export to Word & plain text
When you're done, export your manuscript as a .docx or .txt file — ready to send to an editor or agent.
AI assistant (optional)
Connect a local LLM like Ollama for writing suggestions. Your text never leaves your machine.
One price. No catches.
Pay once and the app is yours — no subscription, no renewal, no upsell.
