A creative worldbuilding studio that connects your codex, plot outline, and manuscript in one integrated workspace.
Free beta access. No credit card required.
Stop scattering your world across text files, Google Docs, and spreadsheets. Keep it all in one place.
Every character, location, faction, magic system, and lore entry lives in a structured, searchable codex. Link entries with [[wiki links]] and see how your world connects.
Switch between tree, corkboard, grid, timeline, and arc views — all reading from the same data. Choose a story structure template or build your own.
A distraction-free writing environment with your codex and outline in a split panel. Wiki-link characters and locations inline, track word counts, and keep your outline beats visible while you draft.
An AI brainstorm partner that knows your world's rules. All coming after the core writing loop ships.
Early access to the core creative workflow — and a voice in shaping what comes next.
Characters, locations, factions, magic systems, lore — all with structured fields, wiki linking, and search.
Five synchronized views with beat templates. Plan your story with Save the Cat, Hero's Journey, or your own structure.
Write with your codex and outline in a split panel. Wiki links, word counts, and distraction-free mode.
Organize multi-book series with shared world lore. Scope entries to a single book or the whole series.
Beta testers get direct input on features and priorities. Your feedback determines what ships next.
Full access to everything while we build. No credit card, no trial expiration, no feature gates.
