Ink Now

A manuscript into a finished book: real .docx editing, designer typesetting, validated EPUB and press-ready PDF — previewed live on every device you'll publish to.

Ink Now is a full-power word processor and a book-design studio in one. Draft with everything your old word processor gave you, format with a designer's eye, and publish to every store — without leaving your desk.

NOTHING BETWEEN YOU AND THE PAGE

• Typewriter scrolling keeps your sentence at eye level
• Sprints and daily goals with a live word count
• Read Aloud, for when your eyes need a rest
• Corkboard and outline views for structure
• Snapshots, so no draft is ever lost
