One product
App
The desk in your browser. This is the company.
Devices
Keyboard, Go, or Typewriter.
AI
Custom models. Wired into the book. You keep the pen.
The mess
Your book is in too many tabs.
Docs for chapters. Notes for characters. ChatGPT for the stuck scene. Then an hour hunting which file is real.
Story binder
The book is a tree, not a folder.
Chapters and scenes in one binder. Drag to reorder. Nest without breaking the draft. Stop hunting v7_FINAL.docx.
Story bible
Her eye color lives next to the chapter.
Cast, places, rules, plot threads — in the rail, not a second app. Book three can match book one.
Map
Who owes whom. On a graph.
Relationships as a map so the series stays legible. No spreadsheet of who is whose cousin.
Languages
Type the language you write in.
Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, and more — live transliteration on the page. One manuscript. Many scripts.

CoAuthor
It asks before it writes.
Stuck on a scene? It can see binder and bible. It suggests. You tap yes or no. Close the dock when you're writing.
What we sell
Software. That's the company.
We make a desk for authors. There is a device if you want keys in your hands. There is CoAuthor if you want help. You can write without both.
Readers
Send a link. They comment on the chapter.
Beta readers don't have to buy Typewriter. No ZIP. No emailing PDFs.
Price
Write free.
No card to start. $2.99/mo if you want the full desk. AI is extra, on purpose. A device is a separate pre-order.
