What you can do

Library

Every book on one shelf, grouped by series, with word counts against target, open comments and suggestions waiting.

New book in seconds

Title, kind, genre, logline, word target and a style guide, plus a structure template.

Style guide

Tense, POV, voice, spelling and banned words, followed by every agent.

Binder

A tree of parts, chapters and scenes with status dots, locks, comment counts and rolled-up word counts. Headings inside a page show as a mini-outline. Drag to restructure.

Page details

Synopsis, status (idea, outline, draft, revised, final), word target, POV character, story date and order, plotlines, labels and private notes.

Editor

Semi-rendered Markdown in a book serif: bold, italic, headings, quotes, lists, links, images and scene breaks, with a formatting toolbar.

Write, split or preview

Edit, side-by-side, or read it rendered. Previewing a chapter shows all its scenes as one continuous text.

Focus mode

Hide the binder and inspector and fade the toolbar until you need it.

Autosave

Saves as you pause, on ⌘S and when you leave, with the version number in the status bar.

Live word counts

Words on the page, words selected and progress to the page's target.

Images

Paste or drop images into the text; they upload and appear in exports.

Smart typography

Curly quotes and em dashes as you type, or convert a selection or page.

Import a draft

Bring in a Word, Markdown or text file. Headings become parts, chapters and scenes, scene breaks split chapters, and you preview the structure before anything is created.

Series

Group books into a series in reading order, with codex entries shared across them.

Resume where you left off

Opening a book returns you to the last page you edited.
