The essential focus writer for authors. A clean, distraction-free page, Markdown files, and one click turns your book into an EPUB, a PDF, a Word file. Everything on your computer — no cloud.
— Vladimir Majakovskij, All'amato me stesso, 1916
No endless toolbars, no subscriptions, no sync to configure. Open it and write — it handles the rest.
Just you and the caret. Light and dark themes, custom typography and reading profiles to write comfortably at any hour.
Your files are readable text, not a proprietary format. Continuous autosave and built-in version history: zero anxiety, zero lock-in.
Spelling and grammar in English, Italian and French. Synonyms one click away, plus a name generator for your characters.
A real e-book, store-ready: cover, author, ISBN, synopsis, footnotes. And you pick which chapters to export.
Typeset PDF, Word, RTF, HTML, plain Markdown. Your manuscript comes out in whatever format they ask for — no online converters.
No account, no telemetry, no servers. Works on a plane and off the grid: your stories never leave your computer.
Turn off everything except the sentence you're writing. The interface fades away, the chapter outline stays one click from anywhere, and reading profiles remember your favorite combination of theme, type size and line spacing — one for daylight, one for 2 AM.
Markdown, HTML, typeset PDF, Word, RTF and EPUB. For EPUB and PDF, a small dialog lets you pick exactly which chapters to include, set the book's language, and start each chapter on a fresh page. The EPUB comes out store-ready: cover, author, ISBN, synopsis and keywords, straight from the document's metadata.
The editor saves as you type and quietly snapshots versions in the background — even for documents you never got around to naming. Browse the timeline, see how many words each draft added or cut, and bring any version back with one click. Deleting a paragraph stops being a decision.
A private notes panel travels inside the document — plot threads, research, things to fix — without ever touching the text or the word count. And real footnotes live in the text itself: in the exported EPUB they become tap-to-open popup notes, neatly numbered per chapter.
Before exporting anything, flip through your manuscript as a real two-page book: cover, chapters, page turns. It's the fastest way to feel whether a chapter breathes — and what your readers will actually hold in their hands.
