Every stage of writing
a novel.
Five tools that cover the full arc from first idea to finished manuscript. Each one built for novelists, each one connected to the next.
Plot with confidence
Map your story chapter by chapter before you commit a word. The Story Plotter gives your idea structure and shape — drag and rearrange until the ending feels inevitable.
Write without distraction
A clean, focused writing environment built for Mac. The Pad, Tabs, Focus Mode, and Research Assistant — everything you need within reach, nothing you don't.
Edit boldly
Inline proofreader, prose pattern analysis, and an AI editor across four editorial modes. Chapter Variants and Version History so no revision is ever permanent.
Track your writing
Session stats, daily goals, streaks, and milestones. 500 words a day is a novel in six months. The Tracker keeps that arithmetic visible on the days when progress feels invisible.
Format professionally
Professional typesetting and formatting that turns your finished draft into a publish-ready manuscript. EPUB for e-readers, PDF for print, .docx for agents. No reformatting weekend. No watermarks. No lock-in.
Write in any form, on any device.
Beyond the five stages, Writing Desk opens your essays, notes and Word files, and goes with you on iPhone and iPad.
Essays, notes and Word files
Open Word and Markdown files, draft essays, notes and stories, and grow any piece into a book length project when it is ready.
Write on iPhone and iPad
Read and edit your manuscript, capture notes and work offline. Phone edits come back to your Mac as suggestions for you to accept or reject.
