Where are you on the journey?

Inscript grows with you. Whether you're drafting chapter one or managing a backlist, the features you need are already here.

Write without walls

No internet required. No account needed. No surveillance of your habits. Just you, your words, and a quiet window that stays out of the way.

Your book is a business

Import your KDP reports, analyse your Amazon Ads, and get smart alerts on revenue and ROI — all inside the same app where you write. No spreadsheets.

Pay once, own forever

One price. Lifetime license. Free updates within the version. No monthly rent on your own creative tools. Your data stays on your machine.

AI that knows your story

Context-aware editing, blurbs, and business briefings powered by your own API keys or run locally. AI is optional, private, and never phones home.

Built for the gaps the others leave.

Every author tool does one thing well. None of them do the whole job. Inscript was designed to fill the space between them.

Scrivener writes. It doesn't format.

Scrivener is a great drafting tool, but when your manuscript is done, you still need another app to make it look like a book. With Inscript, you go from first draft to print-ready PDF without switching tools.

Vellum formats. It doesn't write.

Vellum produces beautiful output — for $250, on Mac only. Inscript gives you professional formatting alongside a real editor, story bibles, and business tools on Mac, Windows, and Linux. One purchase, one app, every platform.

Atticus tries both. Online only.

Atticus combines writing and formatting, but its editor is limited — no spell check, no grammar tools, no find-and-replace. And it requires an internet connection. Inscript is a native desktop app that works anywhere, online or off.

Dabble charges you monthly.

At $19/month, Dabble costs $228 a year just to access your own work. Inscript is $129.99 once. After seven months, you're saving money every day you write.

Pay once. Keep everything.

What beta testers are saying.

"I used to need Scrivener for writing, Vellum for formatting, a spreadsheet for royalties, and a calendar app for deadlines. Now it's all in one window."

"The story bible alone is worth it. I have four books in my series and I finally stopped contradicting my own world-building."
Beta tester 4-book fantasy series
