Chapter Management
A binder for your book.
Chapters. Scenes. Word counts. All in the sidebar.
Not one long scroll
Google Docs gives you one document. By chapter 15, you're scrolling through 200 pages to find a scene. Typewriter gives you a sidebar binder. Every chapter listed. Click to jump. Drag to reorder.
It's the structure Scrivener introduced, rebuilt for the web. No installation. No Dropbox sync. Just open your browser and your chapters are there.
Word counts that matter
See the word count for each chapter, each scene, and the full manuscript. Set per-chapter targets to keep your pacing consistent. A 12,000-word chapter 7 next to a 2,000-word chapter 8 tells you something.
Daily session tracking shows how many words you wrote today. Weekly and monthly views keep you accountable to your writing goals.
Chapter status tracking
Mark each chapter as outline, draft, revision, or complete. See at a glance how far along your manuscript is. Filter by status to focus on what needs work.
When you're revising, status tracking prevents you from accidentally skipping a chapter. When you're drafting, it shows you momentum.
Scene breaks and structure
Within chapters, use scene breaks to separate POV shifts, time jumps, or tonal changes. Each scene break exports correctly to PDF, EPUB, and DOCX with proper formatting.
For multi-POV novels, tag scenes with the viewpoint character. The story bible tracks which characters appear in which scenes automatically.
How others compare
