Pick one from the list, start a new one, or upload chapters you've written elsewhere. Everything saves as you type.
Acts, chapters and scenes. Drag by the ⠿ handle (or focus it and use the arrow keys) to rearrange; every change saves straight away, and chapter numbers follow the order.
Facts you approved from Canon updates. Critiques use them alongside the fields above.
Pick a character, place, piece of lore or object to read and edit it. Changes save as you type and feed straight into critiques.
The shape of the manuscript: its length, when things happen, who connects to whom, how the prose reads, and who says what.
Each dot is a scene with a story time, left to right in reading order, low to high by when it happens (in order of time, not to scale). A dot lower than one before it is a flashback. Diamonds are events; dreams and visions are hollow and violet (☾).
What happens when, whatever chapter it's told in.
The important moments on the timeline. Approve the AI's from Updates → Timeline, or add and edit them here. A dream or vision event is what the dream shows; "mentioned" is something a character refers to.
Start with a date, then anything you like as a label: 3000-09-02 20:05 the alley, 3000-09 training, 2000 the Revelation. Also editable in the Scenes panel.
Foreshadowing and promises the story makes, and where they pay off. Add them here, or approve them from Updates → Setups.
Arrows are relationships written in a character's Relationships field (one per line, naming the other character); dashed ones are one-sided. Blue lines join characters named in the same scene, thicker for more scenes. Click a character to open them in the Codex.
Words and phrases to keep an eye on, counted in each chapter. Edit the list; it's remembered in this browser.
The first paragraph of each chapter: dialogue, a thought (all italics) or narration. Three or more in a row opening the same way are flagged.
Average sentence length, -ly adverbs per 1,000 words, how much is dialogue, and close repeats: the same distinctive word used again within 30 words. Open a chapter's repeats to see them.
Three to six words, used in three or more paragraphs.
Leaving out common words and character names.
How often each character's name or an alias appears in each chapter, in story order. The last column is the whole book.
For each chapter the AI proposes when every scene happens (and whether it's a dream, vision or memory), its important events, and setups and payoffs.
What a run finds waits in and for you to approve.
How the characters relate by the end of each chapter.
What a read finds waits in for you to approve.
Chapters you're not sure about yet. They're kept out of the book: not in the editor, the canon, the timeline or the relationship runs. Each read here judges the bones, not the sentences.
Reads the drafts after your finished chapters, from their summaries and each one's verdict: arc, pacing, setups and payoffs, what to merge or cut, and where to start.
Your plan for the book, in any form. Saved as you type (in content/drafts).
Every critique that finishes, and the .md files in your reviews folder, by chapter.
What the AI found in your chapters. Nothing reaches canon, the timeline, the setups tracker or the relationships until you approve it.
Chapters are run from .
Found by the same run as the timeline, from .
Proposed after every canon extraction and timeline run; chapters can also be read from .
What the AI calls cost, as OpenRouter reports it.
The last 30 days.
Critiques by mode, and the background work: canon extraction, chapter summaries, timeline runs.
The cheap-versus-strong tradeoff in dollars: average cost per call.
Calls that cost more than three times the usual for their task, and the most expensive calls.
What you changed and why. Chapter history keeps the words; these keep the intent.
