Tales & Fables

— a writing studio —

Every part of
your story, in one place.

Worldbuild, plot your scenes, and draft your manuscript on the same desk — then invite a co-author to pull up a chair. Four connected workspaces, one quiet room.

Free foreverNo credit cardYour words stay yours

Four views, one story

Look at your story however it needs to be seen.

Switch modes any time — it's all the same story underneath. Plan in one view, write in another, and nothing falls out of sync.

Story Bible

Keep your whole world in one calm view.

Characters, places, and plot threads in three quiet columns — tag them, link them, and chart how everyone's connected on a relationship graph.

Storyboard

Move scenes like index cards on a corkboard.

Drag, drop, and rearrange across acts until the shape feels right. Every card opens into a full scene editor when you're ready to dig in.

Linear Writer

Just write. Everything else stays in the margin.

A clean manuscript page with focus mode, autosave history, margin comments, and live co-authoring — distraction-free, never feature-poor.

Timeline

See your story in the order it happened.

Lay scenes along an in-story axis — perfect for flashback-heavy tales where narrative order and chronological order pull apart. Drag to reorder.

More than a blank page

The quiet machinery behind the writing.

Real-time collaboration

Write together, without stepping on each other.

Invite a co-author by email and watch their cursor move through the manuscript as edits sync live. Owners and editors only — no audience seats, no permission spreadsheet.

Export anywhere

Your draft, in the format the next tool needs.

One click sends your manuscript to Markdown, PDF, Fountain, Final Draft (.fdx), or ePub. The text is always yours — leaving is as easy as staying.

Show up every day

A gentle nudge, and a streak worth keeping.

Your dashboard greets you with a fresh writing prompt each morning and a quiet heatmap of the days you wrote. No notifications, no guilt — just a line in the sand.

I used to keep my world bible in one app, my outline in another, and the actual book in a third. Now it's all on one desk — and I finally finished the draft.
