🗂️
The binder: Notes, Research, Characters
Notes, research and character sheets live next to your manuscript, never in exports. And with «Reference», keep another chapter or a note in view while you write.
⚙️
AI automations (beta)
Set a threshold and an instruction: as the text grows, the app suggests — never on its own, never on your source. All on the local AI, offline.
🌍
Interface and guide in 9 languages
App, manual and in-app guide in Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Arabic and Hebrew — with the right typography for each.
✍️
New editor
The heart of the app has been rewritten: faster, more stable, ready for the future.
👁️
Live preview
Bold, headings, lists and images take shape right in the text as you type. No separate panels.
🤖
Built-in AI, zero setup
The AI assistant is built in: one click to download the model and it just works, fully offline. Runs even on older computers.
🖼️
Images in the text
Photos appear in the manuscript; drag them to move them anywhere.
🎬
Studio-grade screenwriting
Screenplay mode with Final Draft (FDX) export and a full round trip: authentic dual dialogue, production tags that survive the trip, scene numbers and V.O. extensions.
✅
Spell check & style
Multilingual spell checker; repetitions and filler words highlighted live, with a hover explanation.
🖨️
Printing that works
The Print button builds a PDF with the same typography as your exports and opens it in your system viewer: a faithful preview, every time.
