Where the work happens

Everything around the writing, in one place.

A fully capable writing environment designed around how writers actually work.

The writing desk on a Mac, with a manuscript in the middle of the window
The mascot stretching, looking up

The flexibility of a visual creative workspace, built around human thinking and writing.

Designed by writers, for writers.

A more considered way to write

The desk
A long-form editor with chapters, two typefaces and a light and a dark page.
Goal rings and a writing plan
A ring for each day, and a plan that works out today's share from your deadline.
Document map
Your chapters down the margin, with a mark for where you are.
Book Map
A canvas for scenes, characters, lists and photographs, with links between them.
Paragraph versions
Every paragraph keeps its earlier drafts. Drag back through the days and restore one.
Read aloud
A voice on your own device reads from the cursor and marks each word as it goes.
Focus mode
Everything but the page goes away.
Project files
One file holds a project, with or without its history, locked with a passphrase if you like.

On Mac, iPad and iPhone.

    A closer look

    The Book Map filling the Mac window: scene and character cards joined by links, a photograph of a mountain and a list of years
    The Book Map can take the whole window when the plan needs the room.

    The Social room in the app today: Seurat's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte above a line by John Donne, and the words Coming soon The same Social room on an iPhone, above the Personal and Social tabs
    The Social room as it stands in the app today, on the Mac and the iPhone. The door is there. The room opens later.

    Not just people to follow. People to write with.

    Solitude and Connection

    Writing needs both.

    A small creature lives here

    Drawn by a human, not generated by one, our mascot lives inside the workspace. It does not give advice, interrupt your writing or try to make you more productive.

    It is just there in the corner of the room. Something warm and familiar, making the solitude of writing feel a little less solitary.

    The mascot sitting quietly with its eyes closed

    A sanctuary for human thinking

    Privacy. Concentration. Time. Trust. Curiosity. Space to change your mind.
