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.

How is Typewriter different from Scrivener?

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.

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.

Does Typewriter work on mobile?

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.

Can the AI write in my voice?

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.

How does the story bible work?

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.

Questions writers actually ask.

What's included in the free plan?

The full editor, forever. 8 content canvases, chapters, the Story Bible (create and edit entries by hand), character tracking, transliteration in 8 Indian languages, DOCX export, and version snapshots. No AI — that's the one thing reserved for Pro.

Is the AI free?

The editor is 100% free. The AI co-author is part of Pro ($5/mo). We made it that way on purpose: subscriptions fund the models, so we can keep improving the agents instead of cutting corners on a “free” AI that quietly gets worse.

What does Pro add?

The AI co-author first — chat that knows your whole book, all models, inline AI edits, manuscript-aware tools, and automatic story-bible extraction. Plus the full story bible with relationship map, PDF/EPUB export, collaboration for up to 10 people, unlimited version history, custom domain, and API access. $5/mo or $50/year.

How do CoAuthor credits work?

Think of it as funding your co-author. Pro unlocks the AI; credits are how the work gets paid for. Top up any amount from $2 to $100 — the AI draws on credits when you ask it to write, edit, research, or generate covers. Credits never expire and work across all BookOS apps.

Can I collaborate on the free plan?

Collaboration is a Pro feature. On Free, you can write and export. Upgrade to Pro to invite co-authors, editors, beta readers, and proofreaders.

How long do credits last?

Credits never expire. Most writers find a $5 top-up lasts a long time. You can see your balance and usage in the settings page at any time.

Can I export my work if I cancel Pro?

Always. DOCX export is available on every plan, including Free. Your writing is yours — we never lock it in. PDF and EPUB export requires Pro.
