Roadmap

If you had a magic wand, what would you build?

In Progress

Editorial letter

In Progress

An editor's-eye read of your entire manuscript — what's working, where it sags, and the handful of things to fix first — plus a readiness score that climbs as you revise.

Print-ready PDF & paperback

In Progress

The other half of book formatting: print-ready PDF and paperback files from the same curated styles as your ebook, without exporting to a separate tool.

Planned

Beta reader feedback

Planned

Get a reader's gut reaction before you recruit real humans. Instant AI feedback on what confused, delighted, or dragged — no beta reader platforms, no waiting, no coordinating schedules. Just honest first-impression notes while your draft is still warm.

Built-in research library

Planned

Save sources, quotes, and notes as you research. Link them to scenes so your references stay connected to your draft. No more juggling Zotero or spreadsheets alongside your writing tool.

Desktop app

Planned

Write offline from a dedicated app on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Your work syncs automatically when you're back online. No browser tab required.

Recently Shipped

Typeset ebook formatting

Shipped

See your book as a book: curated styles, a device-framed preview of the exact file you'll export, front and back matter pages, and a store-ready EPUB for Kindle, Apple Books, and Kobo — right where you write.

Dark mode, sepia & system themes

Shipped

Three carefully tuned themes — light, dark, and sepia — with automatic OS matching. Every surface, including the editor canvas, holds contrast standards in all three.

Continuity check

Shipped

Catch the contradictions that hide across a whole book: the eye color that changes in chapter 17, the timeline that doesn't add up, the character who vanishes for ten chapters — almost impossible to spot across 90,000 words.

Writing goals & progress

Shipped

Set daily word or scene targets, keep a streak, and watch your draft fill in — momentum built around finishing the book, not just counting words.

Catalog-aware spell check

Shipped

Quiet, catalog-aware spell check in Write mode — it already knows your characters' and places' names, so no sea of red under your invented world. Mechanics only; the deeper editing stays in Revise.

Book-worthy editorial feedback

Shipped

AI suggestions that read like notes from a real editor, not a grammar checker. Developmental, line, and copy editing with inline suggestions you accept or reject at your own pace.

Chapter-scoped sharing

Shipped

Share chapters with beta readers and editors via a link. They suggest and comment; you merge on your terms.

.docx round-trip

Shipped

Import from Word with outline detection. Export with tracked changes. Your editor's workflow doesn't change.

Auto-catalog

Shipped

Characters, places, and terms detected automatically as you write. Always know who appears where.

Story planning with templates

Shipped

Three-Act, Save the Cat, Hero's Journey, and Seven-Point structures. Scene-level outlining linked to your draft.
