Getting started

Install Scriptorium, create your first project, and learn how the workspace is organized. Start here.

Writing

Master the manuscript editor — formatting, scene breaks, footnotes, slash commands, and project-wide typography styles.

World-building

Track characters, locations, and events with entities, and visualize your story with timelines, mindmaps, and maps.

AI tools — all on-device

Optional, private AI: dictation, read aloud, grammar checking, and AI rewrite. Nothing you write leaves your computer.

Export your work

Turn your manuscript into a polished PDF, DOCX, or Markdown file — your work is never locked in.

Keep it safe

Set up automatic backups to iCloud, Dropbox, or any folder you choose.
