Scriptory: Novels & Worlds

Turn scattered ideas into a story world where everything connects.

Have you ever imagined vivid characters, intricate relationships, and an entire fictional universe, only to find your notes scattered across different places? As your story grows, keeping track of every detail becomes part of the challenge.

Scriptory is a creative workspace for novelists, storytellers, and worldbuilding enthusiasts. Bring characters, plots, locations, items, and world rules together through structured cards, a visual relationship graph, a plot timeline, chapter writing, and an AI creative assistant.

FIVE TYPES OF CARDS — GIVE EVERY IDEA A PLACE

Organize your story with five interconnected card types:

• Characters: Record personalities, backstories, motivations, experiences, and relationships.
• Plots: Develop key events, conflicts, turning points, and story arcs.
• Locations: Design scenes, regions, organizations, and factions.
• Items: Keep track of props, equipment, and meaningful objects.
• Worldbuilding: Define histories, rules, backgrounds, and fictional settings.

Capture a new thought as a card, refine it over time, and connect it to the rest of your work. Your story can grow one idea at a time.

VISUAL RELATIONSHIP GRAPH — SEE HOW YOUR STORY FITS TOGETHER

Which characters are connected? Who owns a particular item? How does an event relate to a location or a rule of your world?

Link cards and explore their connections in a visual relationship graph. Make complex casts and fictional settings easier to understand while keeping the details of your story close at hand.

PLOT TIMELINE — FOLLOW THE FLOW OF EVENTS

Arrange plot cards along a timeline to track important events, turning points, and story progression. Revisit different moments to organize the order of events, character developments, and narrative conflicts.

CHAPTER WRITING — TURN PLANS INTO PROSE

Draft and organize chapters in a rich-text editor. Add card links to connect your writing with character profiles, locations, and worldbuilding notes. When you need to check a detail, follow the link back to its source.

AI CREATIVE ASSISTANT — EXPLORE IDEAS TOGETHER

Discuss plot directions, character motivations, and writing choices with AI. Explore alternative developments, deepen a backstory, or refine how a passage is expressed.

You can also select a character card to explore a character-based conversation grounded in the profile you created. AI can propose edits to your content; you decide whether to apply them. The creative direction remains yours.

ONE WORKSPACE FOR YOUR STORY WORLD

Keep inspiration cards, story references, relationships, plot planning, and chapter drafts organized around your work. Whether you're outlining a novel or building a fantasy universe, start small and expand as new ideas arrive.

LOCAL WRITING, EXPORTS, AND BACKUPS

Creative content and materials are stored locally on your device by default. Export your work as Markdown, TXT, PDF, or JSON for reading, sharing, and further organization. Use Scriptory project backups to save and restore works, cards, and their relationships.

MEMBERSHIP AND ONLINE FEATURES

Cloud sync is available with an active membership when you're signed in and connected to the internet. AI features also require an internet connection and an active membership, and use credits. Available AI capabilities depend on your membership plan.

Start with a single idea, a character, or the first chapter. Connect the pieces and build a story world of your own.
