Your book's
companion.

A calm writing desk that turns your notes into chapters and chapters into a book. Outline on the left, your text in the middle, a companion at your side. Your book never leaves your computer.

At your side while you write

Three-pane studio

Book outline on the left, draft in the middle, notes and tips on the right. Parts and chapters at a glance, with status badges and progress toward your word goal.

Editor's pass

One click turns bare text into subheadings, bullet lists, block quotes and smart quotation marks. Pasted text arrives clean; Undo is always within reach.

Voice capture

Speak before the thought escapes: your voice becomes text you can polish and file as a note or a scribble with one key. Dictation works in 10 languages.

Scratchpad

A free space for everything that doesn't have a home yet. Titled scribbles, undecided notes; when they're ready, one move sends them into a chapter.

Sources & citations

Type a short marker in your draft; the book shows (Tanpınar, 1946) and an APA bibliography builds itself. Your sources live in the same file as your book.

Word export

Word, HTML and Markdown output with cover, table of contents and bibliography — one click away. Justified, hyphenated, book-standard pages.

Set to calm

A desk that invites you to write

Paper-warm background, serif for reading, a single accent colour. No notifications, no badge showers; just you and your text.

Walking Distance

Compare two towns of equal population and the difference shows up not in square metres per person, but in how many thresholds we cross in a day. A threshold means a door; a door means an encounter.
