    The writing editor with the Writing Dashboard open, showing manuscript word count against your target, daily goals, session stats, and a chapter-by-chapter length breakdown, all updating as you write.
    The Pacing panel scores prose tempo from sentence shape and dialogue and tracks flow across the whole book, shown here in both dark and light themes. The read-aloud player runs along the bottom, highlighting each sentence as it's read.
    The Planner timeline, with story lines for the main plot, subplots, and each character running across chapters. Plot cards show location, status, and characters, and your codex characters can be added as their own lanes.
    +2
    The Scratchpad docked below the manuscript, so your outline and notes sit right under the chapter you're drafting. The same notes open in the Planner too, and nothing in the scratchpad ever touches the manuscript.

    An encrypted reference for everything that isn't the manuscript: characters, locations, timelines, factions and worldbuilding notes. Each entry is encrypted on your device like the chapters are, so the private details of your book — real names in a memoir, an unpublished plot twist — stay unreadable to the service.
    A story-generation workspace for the blank-page moments: character names, plot twists, "what if" turns and outline options, generated in your genre and carried back into the draft. Useful when you know the shape of the scene but not what happens in it.
    The home view for your books: word counts, daily goal and streak, recent chapters, and what you touched last, so a session starts where you left off instead of with a file tree. It's also where stalled projects surface — the signal The Finisher acts on.

    A library of 18 long-form craft guides covering story structure, character psychology, dialogue and subtext, pacing, point of view, theme, scene construction, self-editing and the submission package. They double as the source material for the AI Writing Coach's curriculum, so the advice in the guides and the advice in the app are the same advice.
