A workstation for storytellers.Modern tools for an age-old craft.

Free tools for writing and editing are ready now. Bigger things are in development.

Free tools, no sign-up

  • Word Counter

    Count words, characters, or even reading time. Target social platforms, submissions, and more.

  • Writing Sprint

    Sometimes it's good to just get words out. A prompt or a free write, with a simple timer at your side.

  • Draft Analysis

    Data can tell you more than you'd expect about your writing. Some basic analysis of your draft.

  • Teleprompter

    Take the draft you honed and scroll your words at adjustable speeds and styles for a great performance.

The tools work together: count your words, then send them straight to the teleprompter.

Did the green door in chapter 3 become red in 12?

The Continuity Checker reads your whole manuscript and points out details that change, even a hundred pages apart. It never rewrites a word.

Contradiction

The door in the hill is green in chapter 3 and red in chapter 12.

  • Chapter 3
    “the green door stood half-hidden in the bracken”
  • Chapter 12
    “painted a red that nobody remembered”

Nothing between the two scenes repaints the door or explains the change.

Where this is going

We're starting simple, with a few free tools, while we build the bigger features. Eventually, this will be one place for all of your writing and editing.

  • Research notes
  • Outlines
  • Plot checks
  • Worldbuilding
  • Sources and citations
  • Interview transcripts
  • So much more

Always on

Helps us understand which pages, tools and settings people use, so we know what to improve. Never includes what you write.
