Write forward.
A focused book editor in your browser.
Chapters, notes, writing sprints, and export. Markdown for books, Fountain for screenplays. Keep the manuscript on this device, or encrypt it so you can pick up on another machine. We cannot read your books.
Two places a book can live
You choose, per book. Nothing is stored as readable text on our server.
This device
No account needed. The book stays in this browser. Fine for a single machine. Export markdown or Fountain whenever you like.
Encrypted online
Sign in, unlock with a vault passphrase. We store ciphertext only. Open scribomatic.com on the other Mac and carry on.
Writing sprints
Timed forward-only sessions. Delete is disabled. Text colour shifts with your pace — stay green at 30 WPM.
Yours as markdown or Fountain
Export a merged manuscript as markdown, Fountain, or plain text. No proprietary lock-in.
Plus, when you want it
Writing stays free. Plus is a cheap monthly add-on for voice notes, handwriting, and editorial suggestions that never write the book for you.
Audio to notes
Record in the browser, trim, then transcribe. Or import an mp3, m4a or wav. Three hours a month.
Handwriting too
Photograph a notebook page. We send only that photo, get the text back as notes, then delete the image.
Editorial review
Send a section for tighten, copy-edit or agency notes. It can highlight phrases. It cannot change your words.
£5 a month
Cancel any time through Stripe. Encrypted online storage stays free either way.
