ONE APP. EVERY GENRE.
From poems to novels to screenplays, everything lives in one place.
Create projects for Poetry, Fiction, Drama, Prose, or Manual, each with tailored tools, smart templates, and a clean, organized structure.
The Mac and IOS versions of the app are identical.
WRITE WITH CONFIDENCE
A rich, distraction-free editor with everything you need:
Stylesheets, word and line counts, comments, footnotes, multiple versions, hyperlinks, and images, all working seamlessly as you write.
MANUSCRIPT ANALYZER: CLARITY FOR YOUR DRAFT
See your manuscript with fresh eyes.
The Manuscript Analyzer highlights structure, pacing, readability, and consistency patterns so you can spot weak points, tighten your work, and revise with purpose.
POETRY, PERFECTED
Go beyond simple writing.
Work with forms like Sonnet, Haiku, Villanelle, and Tanka, or design your own.
Real-time syllable counts, stress pattern analysis, and a full metrics dashboard help you refine every line.
FICTION THAT HOLDS TOGETHER
Structure your ideas without losing creativity.
Organize chapters and scenes, build characters and locations, and shape your narrative with Freeform, Three-Act, or Monomyth frameworks.

Use Drama Markup Language, a clean, readable format that automatically becomes a screenplay or stage play. One source, perfectly formatted either way.
