Powerful Tools
From first draft to final manuscript, Writefully So gives you professional-grade tools wrapped in a design that sparks creativity.
The Editor
A rich-text WYSIWYG editor powered by TipTap that feels like writing on real paper. Paginated layout with customizable margins, 13 font choices, text highlighting, comments, and Zen Mode for full-screen focus.
Characters
Build rich profiles with personality traits, desires, fears, flaws, and strengths. Add portraits, mood boards, and typed relationships. See your entire cast at a glance with the interactive Character Web.
Relationships
Visualize every relationship with an interactive D3 force graph. Spot isolated characters, identify central figures, and see how your cast connects — all updated automatically as you define relationships.
Organization
See your entire manuscript in a spreadsheet-style overview. Sort by word count, edit synopses inline, track chapter status from To Do to Final, and manage point of view across every chapter, all from one view.
World Building
Create a living encyclopedia for your story. Typed entries for locations, lore, items, and magic systems — each with rich notes, images, custom fields, tags, and color-coding. Mention any entry in your manuscript and it becomes a clickable link.
Visualization
Draw maps with freehand tools, shapes, and a built-in icon library of castles, mountains, forests, and more. Lay out events on color-coded interactive timelines with categories for plot, character, world, and turning points.
Portability
Import from Word, Markdown, or plain text — chapters auto-split at headings. Export as DOCX or ePub with 3 professional book style themes. Set your pen name and it's embedded in the metadata automatically.
Privacy First
Writefully So is 100% local-first. Your manuscripts, characters, and world-building live in a simple folder on your computer. No cloud sync. No accounts. No telemetry. We never see your work — because it never leaves your device.
