Typewriter
You've started a dozen times. Life gets in the way. Your doc gets messy. You lose momentum.
Typewriter is the writing app that actually helps you finish.
The Truth
Great for letters. Terrible for books. No organization. Crashes at 50 pages. Where's chapter 12?
Slows to a crawl at 40k words. No chapter view. Constant distractions. Built for collaboration, not creation.
$49 upfront. Weeks to learn. Desktop only. By the time you've figured it out, you've lost momentum.

could be different
The difference isn't talent. It's not discipline. It's having the right tool that works with your brain, not against it.

AI Assistant
Some authors hate AI. We get it. Our AI isn't here to replace you. It's here to help when you're stuck and stay quiet when you're in flow.
Stuck on a plot point? Talk through ideas. Get suggestions for character arcs, twists, and what happens next.
"What if your character had a secret?"
"Here are 5 ways this scene could end..."
Writer's block is real. Get unstuck with prompts, alternative angles, and gentle nudges to keep moving.
"Let's try a different approach..."
"What's your character really afraid of?"
Tighten dialogue. Add sensory details. Fix awkward phrasing. One click to improve any selection.
"This dialogue could be sharper."
"Consider showing, not telling here."
Don't want AI? That's fine. Every AI feature is opt-in. 100% of Typewriter works without it.
The Toolkit
No bloat. No complexity. Just the tools that actually help you write.
Chapters, scenes, notes, characters. Everything in one sidebar. Drag to reorder. Click to jump.
Pomodoro timer built in. 25-minute sprints. 15-minute bursts. 45-minute deep sessions.
7-day streak. 30-day streak. 90-day streak. Watch the flame grow. You won't want to break it.
Set a target. Track progress. Hit milestones: 10K, 25K, 50K, novel complete.
Full screen. Typewriter scrolling. UI fades away. Just you and your words. Pure flow.
Save before big changes. Label your milestones. Restore anytime. Your safety net.
Hear your prose. Catch awkward phrasing. Your ears catch what eyes miss.
Find overused words. Kill weak words. Spot adverb overload. Polish your voice.
Laptop. Phone. Tablet. Auto-sync everywhere. Never lose a word.
AI Superpowers (Optional)
Every feature below is opt-in. Skip them all if you want. But when you're stuck at 2am, they're there.
Brainstorm with AI. Plot problems. Character arcs. What happens next.
Select text. One click: expand, condense, improve dialogue, add sensory details.
Spelling. Punctuation. Style issues. Readability scores. One-click fixes.
Scenes. Characters. Full-page spreads. Perfect for children's books.
