A novel-writing studio, not a text box
Inkwood keeps your manuscript, your worldbuilding, and your drafting process in one offline-first app. Plan chapters in Roots, draft in a real editor, keep continuity with a living Field Guide, and bring your own AI — on your terms.
Chapter Seven
The lantern light caught on Beatrice's sleeve as she crossed into the east wing, where Crowe Academy kept its oldest doors locked twice over.
/ Scene BeatFive rooms, one manuscript
No feature scavenger hunt. Every book you open lands in the same five workspaces — so the tenth chapter feels as effortless as the first.
Shape a chapter before you write it — POV, word goal, scene beats, tension and mood — so the draft has somewhere to go.
A real rich-text manuscript editor with typography control, scene beats, and a slash menu for structural inserts.
Readability metrics, pacing charts, and a configurable AI critique report — right down to line-level notes.
Export finished chapters as DOCX, ODT, PDF, or HTML — pick your chapters, pick your format, done.
Genre, tone, POV, comparative works, voice ceiling, narrator profile — the rules every generation obeys.
Worldbuilding that stays connected to the page
Every character, location, item, and thread lives in one searchable database. Mention a name in your prose and Inkwood underlines it, links it back to its entry, and feeds only the relevant entries into your next AI generation — not your entire world, every time.
Characters get physical description, voice overrides, formative backstory, and relationships. Locations get 22 fields — climate, lighting, smells, the rumor and the truth behind it.
Names and aliases are detected right inside the editor. Click a highlighted mention to jump straight to its entry — no alt-tabbing to a separate wiki.
Attach reference images to any entry and choose which ones a vision-capable model actually sees during generation.
Always-include entries, entries mentioned in your scene summary, and shared series entries get pulled into the prompt automatically — or attach the full guide when you need it.
Mark an entry as shared across a series, and every book in that series can see it — one Field Guide, many volumes.
Turn your whole Field Guide into a formatted document with six visual templates, from parchment-and-gold fantasy to botanical nature.
Plan it, then draft it
Roots and Write are built to hand off to each other. Plan a chapter's beats, POV, and tension, then generate straight into the manuscript — with a real editor underneath the whole time.
Your novel, always in context
Wren is a chat assistant that sits beside the manuscript, not apart from it. Attach your full Field Guide, the current chapter, your outline, or specific chapters — and Wren answers with your world already in mind.
Know what's actually on the page
Some of this runs instantly, right in your browser. The rest is a configurable AI report you scope yourself — whole manuscript or a handful of chapters, thirteen categories, as light or as thorough as you want it.
Thirteen categories from story structure to line-level editing — plot holes, passive voice, POV consistency, em-dash overuse, and more. Choose your scope, choose your depth.
Every report is saved to the book, viewable later, and downloadable as Markdown or a typeset HTML document.
From draft to file
Select the chapters you want, pick a format, and export. Your Field Guide binds the same way, with a choice of visual templates.
A clean manuscript file, ready for a co-writer, an editor, or a query.
A print-ready export for proofing on paper or sharing as-is.
Open formats for whatever the rest of your workflow runs on.

Beyond the manuscript
Scripter, Imagine, Cinematica, and Aria share one shell — pick a model, write a prompt, and generate — so switching media never means switching apps.
Turn a chapter into a screenplay, TV episode, short film, or stage play — streamed, viewable, and downloadable as Markdown.
Generate cover art and reference images, with up to eight reference slots per prompt, straight into a saved gallery.
Prompt-to-video with duration, aspect ratio, and resolution controls, and live status while it renders.
Text-to-speech with a choice of voices, adjustable speed, and export as MP3 or WAV.
No lock-in, no black box
Books are stored locally in your browser, not on a server you don't control. Close your laptop, and your work is still there.
Export a single book or your entire library as one JSON file, any time — and restore it just as easily, on any machine.
