# Everwrite

> Everwrite is a private, native novel-writing studio for Mac with a free iPhone companion app. It combines a distraction-free scene-based editor with an on-device Story Bible AI that reads and remembers your story but never writes a word of it. One-time purchase of $19.99, no subscription, no account, and manuscripts stay on the writer's own devices as plain Markdown files.

Everwrite is made by Vintrex Labs and sold exclusively on the Mac App Store. The companion app, Everwrite Go, is free on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Support: admin@vintrexlabs.com

## Key facts

- Pricing: $19.99 one-time purchase for Everwrite for Mac. No subscription, no trial, no in-app purchases. Everwrite Go (iOS) is free.
- Privacy: no account and no sign-up. No analytics or tracking. The manuscript never leaves the Mac unless the writer turns on iCloud sync, which uses the writer's own private iCloud. Nothing is ever used to train AI models.
- AI stance: the Continuity AI runs entirely on-device via Apple Intelligence. It reads the manuscript to build a Story Bible (characters, places, objects, facts, relationships) and flags continuity contradictions such as changed eye colors or timeline conflicts. It never generates or rewrites prose. The Story Bible also works fully manually on Macs without Apple Intelligence, and no AI runs on the iPhone app at all.
- File format: books are .ever packages containing plain Markdown files, one per scene. Writers can open their words in any editor, forever. No lock-in.
- Platforms: macOS (Apple Silicon) for the full studio; iPhone and iPad for the free companion. Interface available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.

## Everwrite for Mac: features

- Scene and chapter binder with drag-and-drop restructuring, split by scenes so large manuscripts stay fast.
- Plan view: the manuscript as a corkboard of index cards or an outline table, with synopses, workflow status, word counts, and a point-of-view character per scene. Dragging a card restructures the book.
- Story Bible with automatic extraction (characters, locations, objects, facts, aliases, relationships) and continuity checking, plus @-mentions that link prose to bible entries.
- Worldbuilding notes, a freeform visual Board for brainstorming, and an on-device name generator.
- Read Aloud: natural on-device neural text-to-speech with word-by-word highlighting and a full-screen Listening Mode, built for proofreading by ear.
- Focus tools: distraction-free page, typewriter scrolling, Focus Mode, and a full-screen sentence-by-sentence Super Focus mode. Voice dictation on-device.
- Goals and pace: word targets, deadlines with words-per-day forecasts, streaks, and a writing history heatmap.
- Exports: Standard Manuscript Format .docx for agent submission, valid EPUB 3, and PDF. Imports: Word .docx and Scrivener projects.
- Safety: continuous autosave, per-scene snapshots, rotating whole-book backups with one-click restore, named versions, and a Trash with scene recovery.

## Everwrite Go: features (free iPhone and iPad app)

- Start a book on iPhone: create a book with one tap and start writing immediately; the Mac app can adopt it with one click.
- Write anywhere: full scene editing, chapter restructuring, synopses, and statuses, syncing through the writer's own iCloud.
- Story Bible on the go: search characters, places, and facts; pin a quick list; browse relationship connections. Read-only reference built by the Mac.
- Worldbuilding answers are editable on the phone and sync back.

## Comparisons writers ask about

- Versus Scrivener: Everwrite matches the binder and corkboard workflow with far less complexity, adds a self-building Story Bible with continuity checking that Scrivener does not have, replaces the Compile system with one-click standard exports, and includes native iCloud sync. One-time $19.99 versus $59.99.
- Versus cloud writing apps (Dabble, NovelCrafter, Sudowrite): Everwrite is local-first with no subscription; its AI never ghostwrites and nothing is uploaded to third-party AI services.
- Versus Ulysses or Notion: Everwrite is purpose-built for fiction, with story structure, a story bible, and manuscript-format exports rather than general notes.
