The feature set

One project, every view.

Architext is novel writing software that keeps your prose, characters, plot, and world side by side, so the whole book stays in shape while you write. Here is what's inside.

The writing studio

Three panes, one project: your book's structure on the left, the page in the middle, and the details of whatever you're touching on the right. Open a scene and the people, places, and stakes in it are right there, no leaving the editor.

Three-pane manuscript editor

Write in a clean, book-like page with your chapters and scenes always in reach. Smart typography as you type, and a drop cap where a chapter opens.

Planning mode and outline

Flip from prose to structure in one click. Scene-by-scene synopses with the cast attached. Reorder the spine of the book without touching a sentence.

Word goals and streaks

A daily count and a streak that keeps itself, with one freeze a week. A quiet chip tells you that you showed up today.

Focus mode

When it's time to draft, everything else steps back. Just the page, your words, and the count.

Plot and character boards

Boards cross one part of your book with another, so you can see every character across every scene, or every plot thread across every chapter, on one surface. The gap in the middle of act two stops hiding.

Casting board

Who is in every scene, at a glance. Spot the character who vanishes for eighty pages before your readers do.

Plot board

Track each thread scene by scene: where it's raised, where it turns, where it pays off. Notes live right at the intersection.

Boards for anything

Places against chapters, timelines against scenes, clues against suspects. If two parts of your book relate, a board can hold the relationship.

Your story bible, built in

Characters, places, and worldbuilding live in a reference library inside the same project as your manuscript, connected to the scenes they appear in. No separate wiki, no spreadsheet, no tab-switching.

A linked reference library

Every character and world detail keeps its own page, and Architext knows which scenes each one appears in.

Names spotted as you write

Architext recognizes your characters' names in your prose. Hover one to see who they are without leaving the page.

Rename once, change everywhere

When Marcus becomes Malcolm in revision, one rename walks the whole manuscript with you, scene by scene.

Project-wide version history

A full history across the whole project, so the better draft of a scene is never more than a moment away.

In, out, and onward

Your book is yours, coming and going. Import takes minutes; leaving is always one click.

Import from Scrivener, Word, and Google Docs

Your manuscript comes in as a structured project, chapters and scenes intact, not a flat wall of text.

Export a submission-ready manuscript

Send your book to Google Docs or Word in standard manuscript format, ready for an agent or editor.

Publish to Word, ePub, and PDF

Print-ready files with front matter, back matter, and your cover art, straight from the project.

Share with early readers

One stable, read-only link to the chapters you choose. Send it to a beta reader; take it back any time.

Proof

A signed authorship certificate

Because Architext never drafts your prose, it can put its name behind yours: a signed certificate that every word of the book is the writer's. Anyone can verify a certificate, no account needed.

Hear your book read aloud

Narration reads your prose back to you in a natural voice, because your ear catches what your eye skips. The clumsy sentence, the doubled word, the dialogue that doesn't sound like her. It reads what you wrote, exactly as you wrote it.

Studio: a read on request

The optional Studio add-on gives you a reader who has the whole book in mind. Brainstorm against your own notes, ask what's working in a scene, get a fresh read on a chapter. It answers when you ask and never writes a word of your prose.

In your pocket, too

Open architext.app on your phone and you get a writing experience built for the couch, the commute, and the idea that won't wait. Same book, same project, wherever you are.

Write the book. We'll be right beside you.

Import your work in minutes. You write every word, and it stays yours.
