Write without the noise
Focus mode dims everything but the sentence you're on, keeps your line centered as you type, and hides the rest of the app until you need it.
Your whole book in one place
Chapters and loose scenes, an outline, character sheets, a codex for your world, and an atlas for your maps.
Your books are yours
Each book is a plain folder of Markdown or text files on your Mac. Open, sync, and back them up however you like, or back up to GitHub from inside the app.
Nothing watching
No account, no ads, no tracking. The app collects no data at all.
Installing
Open the disk image and drag Author's Workshop onto the Applications folder, then open it like any other app.
