Scripta: Book & Novel Writer

Draft your next novel or nonfiction book in a calm, local-first manuscript studio built for indie authors. Scripta is a book writing app for Android that helps you structure chapters, preview Kindle and paperback layouts, and export a finished manuscript without turning your phone into a notes dump.

Writing a book on Android should feel like working in a manuscript studio—not a generic text box. Scripta keeps your draft on device, so you can write offline on a commute, then check how the page reads before you export.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Local manuscript library
• Keep up to two books on the free plan in an on-device library (IndexedDB)—no account required to start writing
• See word counts on each book and jump back in with Continue writing
• Set a daily word goal (100, 250, or 500) and track today’s progress on the home screen

Rich chapter editor
• Write in a paper-like editor with headings, lists, alignment, fonts, colors, and images
• Tune typography: sizes, line height, margins, and first-line indent per book
• Type --- to insert a manuscript page-break marker when you need a clean break

Live device preview
• Preview beside the editor with Kindle, tablet (iPad-style), and 6×9 paperback (Print) layouts
• Keep the preview paper-light for print fidelity even when app chrome is in dark mode

Front matter & structure
• Add author name, cover image, copyright, and dedication
• Organize renameable chapters in a virtualized list built for long manuscripts

Export pipeline
• Export to PDF and Word (DOCX) with a full-book review dialog before Save or Share
• Save to Documents/Scripta on device or send through the system share sheet
• Premium unlocks validated ePub export plus back matter and a back-cover image for print-style PDF

Writing cadence without the noise
• After a session, see a short recap of words written (saved on this device)
• First week after onboarding softens interstitial interruptions so you can settle into the craft
