Question 1

What is Typewriter?

Accepted Answer

Typewriter is a free novel writing software with a built-in story bible, character tracking, and an AI co-author that remembers your full manuscript across every session. It's designed for fiction writers who need more than a basic word processor.

Question 2

How is Typewriter different from Scrivener?

Accepted Answer

Typewriter is web-based (no installation needed), includes AI writing assistance that understands your story context, and has built-in character tracking with continuity checking. Scrivener is desktop-only with no AI features. Typewriter's free tier includes more features than Scrivener's paid license.

Question 3

Is Typewriter free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The editor is free forever. You can write, organize chapters, track characters, and build your story bible by hand at no cost. The AI co-author is the one paid feature — it's part of Pro ($5/mo or $50/year), and subscriptions fund the models that power it.

Question 4

Does Typewriter work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Typewriter is a web-based writing app that works in any browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Your manuscripts sync across all devices automatically.

Question 5

Can the AI write in my voice?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Typewriter's AI reads your entire manuscript and learns your writing style, character voices, and world rules. You can set custom style rules so the AI writes suggestions that match your tone.

Question 6

How does the story bible work?

Accepted Answer

The story bible automatically tracks characters, locations, plotlines, worldbuilding details, and timeline events across your entire manuscript. When you write, the AI uses this context to maintain consistency and flag contradictions.
