Novel writing, characters and worldbuilding. Turn ideas into stories.
Read full description
Give your ideas a place to become a story.
Scriptory brings characters, worldbuilding, plot planning, and chapter writing into one creative workspace. Built for novelists, storytellers, and worldbuilding enthusiasts, it helps you keep the details of your story close to the pages you write.
BUILD YOUR STORY WORLD
Create material cards for characters, worlds, locations, items, and plots. Organize related cards into a work and develop the background, rules, and clues that shape your story.
SEE CONNECTIONS AND SEQUENCES
Explore relationships between your story materials in a visual graph. Arrange plot cards on a work's timeline to review the order of events and plan turning points, conflicts, and what comes next.
WRITE YOUR CHAPTERS
Draft and edit chapters in a rich text editor. Add card links to connect your writing with its characters and settings, so you can return to the details when you need them.
EXPLORE IDEAS WITH AI
Discuss plot directions, character motivations, and wording with AI. Choose a character card to explore dialogue based on that persona. You decide whether to accept AI content proposals and how they fit your story.
EXPORT AND BACK UP
Export your work as Markdown, TXT, PDF, or JSON for reading, sharing, and further editing. Use Scriptory work backups to preserve and restore works, cards, and relationships when moving your creative materials.
LOCAL STORAGE AND MEMBER CLOUD SYNC
Creative content and materials are saved on your device by default. Cloud sync is available with an active membership and requires sign-in and an internet connection. AI features require an internet connection and an active membership, and consume credits. Available AI capabilities depend on your membership plan.
Start with a character, an idea card, or your first chapter.
