Roadmap
If you had a magic wand, what would you build?
In Progress
Editorial letter
In ProgressAn 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 ProgressThe 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
PlannedGet 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
PlannedSave 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
PlannedWrite offline from a dedicated app on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Your work syncs automatically when you're back online. No browser tab required.

Typeset ebook formatting
ShippedSee 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
ShippedThree 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
ShippedCatch 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
ShippedSet 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
ShippedQuiet, 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
ShippedAI 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
ShippedShare chapters with beta readers and editors via a link. They suggest and comment; you merge on your terms.
.docx round-trip
ShippedImport from Word with outline detection. Export with tracked changes. Your editor's workflow doesn't change.
Auto-catalog
ShippedCharacters, places, and terms detected automatically as you write. Always know who appears where.
Story planning with templates
ShippedThree-Act, Save the Cat, Hero's Journey, and Seven-Point structures. Scene-level outlining linked to your draft.
