The Full Picture

And so much more

The details that make all the difference.

Project Templates

Start with a blank slate or choose from genre templates — Three-Act Novel, Epic Fantasy, Mystery, Romance, and Sci-Fi — pre-loaded with chapters, characters, and codex entries.

Multi-Project Dashboard

Manage all your projects from a beautiful dashboard with color-coded covers, word counts, and at-a-glance stats.

Snapshots & Versions

Auto-snapshots save as you write. Create manual snapshots anytime. Preview, compare, restore, or label any version.

Word Goals & Deadlines

Set a target word count and finish date. Track your daily words-per-day target and see how close you are to done.

Session Tracking

See words written and words edited separately — not just a confusing net number. Per-chapter breakdown shows exactly where your session time went. Progress bar tracks words written, so editing never steals your progress.

Writing Statistics

GitHub-style writing heatmap, current and best streaks, word frequency analysis, and daily output tracking across your entire history.

Outliner View

Spreadsheet-style overview of your entire manuscript. Sort by word count, edit synopses inline, track chapter status, and manage POV — all from one view.

Search & Replace

Project-wide full-text search across all chapters and characters. Find and replace every occurrence in one click.

Split-Pane Editing

View two items side by side — write a scene while referencing a character profile, codex entry, or map. Both panels fully interactive.

Corkboard View

See all your chapters as cards with synopses, word counts, and status labels on a virtual corkboard.

Codex Mentions

Character and codex entry names are automatically detected in your manuscript. Click any mention to jump to their profile.

Import & Export

Import from Word (.docx), Markdown, or plain text — chapters auto-split at headings. Export as DOCX or ePub with 3 professional book style themes (Classic, Modern, Literary).

5 Beautiful Themes

Parchment, Midnight, Pastel Eclipse, Writefully, and Classic. Pick the aesthetic that matches your mood.

Folder Organization

Organize chapters, characters, and codex entries into nested folders with drag-and-drop reordering.

Auto-Save

Your work is saved automatically as you type. Never lose a word — even if you forget to hit save.

External Backups

Back up all your projects to any folder — Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud, or a USB drive. Daily automatic backups with zero configuration. Your data stays yours.

Graveyard

Deleted something by mistake? The Graveyard keeps your trashed chapters, characters, and entries safe until you permanently remove them.

Manuscript Health

Analyze your writing patterns with zero AI. Tracks sentence rhythm, adverb density, passive voice, dialogue ratio, repeated starters, and overused words — with editorial guidance explaining what each metric means.

Smart Typography

Type --- for em dashes, -- for en dashes, ... for ellipsis, and get smart quotes automatically. Professional typographic polish without thinking about it.

Author & Pen Name

Set your pen name per project. It appears on your dashboard, Project Overview, and is embedded in ePub and DOCX metadata when you export.

ePub Book Styles

Choose from 3 interior design themes when exporting to ePub: Classic (drop caps, ornamental breaks), Modern (clean sans-serif), or Literary (elegant italic headings).
