Writer's Foundry

Writer's Foundry is a calm, focused place to write your novel on Mac and iPad. Everything you need to plan, write and finish a book, and nothing that gets in the way.

WRITE IN DEEP FOCUS
Dim everything but the lines you're working on, keep the current line centered as you type, or hide it all and let the page be just your words. Pick a font you love, from Georgia and Baskerville to Times New Roman and American Typewriter, in light or dark.

CHAPTERS AND SCENES
Organize your book in a clean sidebar. Split chapters into scenes and drag them into a new order, even into another chapter. Your notes and footnotes move with them.

SEE THE WHOLE BOOK
The corkboard shows every chapter as an index card, with a summary, a colored label and the faces of the characters who appear in it. Drag a card to restructure your story.

A STORY BIBLE WITH PICTURES
Characters, places, plot, items and moods in one place. Give your characters a face and your places reference pictures. Writer's Foundry finds who appears in each chapter by their names in your text.

NOTES, FOOTNOTES AND VERSIONS
Pin color-coded notes to any passage. Add footnotes that number themselves. Try a new version of a chapter and keep the earlier one safe.

POLISH YOUR PROSE
Live word counts and page estimates, search across the whole book, and a word check that finds overused words, steps through each one and suggests alternatives.

READY TO SHARE
Export a PDF, a Word document (on Mac), a standard manuscript for agents and publishers, or a real e-book with a cover you design yourself.

YOURS, AND PRIVATE
No account, no tracking. Your books are files you own, on your device or in your iCloud, where they sync between your Mac and iPad and are backed up automatically.
