FAQ
Frequently asked
What is this, exactly?
A typewriter for authors. Mechanical keys and an e-ink page. TypewriterOS on the glass — write, and read. No internet in the way. Send puts the chapter in the Typewriter app. $499 is the desk machine. $399 is Go, the small clamshell. $299 is the keyboard, if you already have a tablet.
App or TypewriterOS?
The app is the desk in your browser — binder, bible, map, CoAuthor. TypewriterOS is what runs on our e-ink: write and read, nothing else. Same book. Two rooms.
Do I need the app?
The keyboard works as a Bluetooth board on any computer. To keep the book as one book, you use the Typewriter app. Typewriter and Go run TypewriterOS on the e-ink.
Waitlist or pay now?
Waitlist: name and email, nothing charged, we write before we take money. Book now: you pay $299, $399, or $499 in full today. We hold a unit for the 13 January 2027 run. Refund before ship if we miss the date.
Does CoAuthor run on it?
No. Draft here. CoAuthor proposes later, in the app, after the words land.
