Everything on the desk, connected
Twenty-one parts of one studio. Each one works from the same scenes, story bible and citations — so a change in one place is noticed everywhere it matters.
1 · Write
A calm page, a save system you can trust, and habits that help.
- Editor & recoveryA calm manuscript page that keeps every version and never loses a sentence.
- Import & switchingBring a zipped Scrivener project, Word (with comments), RTF, EPUB, Markdown or plain text.
- Stats, goals & focusGoals, streaks with rest days, sprints, focus sounds and a lexicon & style lens.
2 · Keep track
Story records that point back to the page they came from.
- Story bibleCharacters, places and rules — each detail tied to the passage that established it.
- World-buildingProfiles with images, a relationship graph, family trees, maps and character voices.
- Cited questionsAsk about your manuscript. Answers quote their passages or say they couldn't find one.
- Series workspacesOne story bible and one search across every book in a series.
- Saved viewsYour own filtered tables of characters, scenes and details, always in step with the records.
3 · Plan
Views of your real scenes, from a board to a free canvas.
4 · Revise
Find what needs work, see what a change would touch, and work in passes.
- Continuity checksPossible slips shown with both passages side by side. You decide what's a mistake.
- Copyedit style sheetYour book's spelling, number and punctuation choices, a word list and a file for your editor.
- Revision deskOne list of everything to fix — from comments, readers and continuity — worked in passes.
- Retcon rehearsalTry a change to canon and see the cited passages it would touch — before you edit.
- Reveals lensWho knows what, and when the reader finds out.
6 · Everywhere
Desktop apps, an installable app for phones and tablets, and books that open with no connection.
