The storybase
A relational story bible with types, groups, and relationships that define both ends at once.

Timelines and custom calendars
Your own months, seasons, and eras; dated events, lifespans, and manuscript documents.
Connection graph, data tables, and stat blocks
Follow the chains between elements; cast structured stats and mount them on printed pages.
Constructed languages
Phonology, lexicon, grammar, morphology, and a phrasebook, beside the world that speaks it.
The manuscript editor
Focus mode, tagging on the fly, versioning, finalization, and tracked changes.
Branching narrative books
Choice points in the editor, a graph view of every path, and a branching EPUB export.
Multi-language projects
A side-by-side translation editor; every language exported in one operation.
Book blocks and ebook export
Modular front and back matter saved per pen name or series; EPUB and DOCX.
Print-ready PDF
Every KDP and IngramSpark trim size, a one-to-one layout manager, multiple editions in one project.
Import and round-tripping
DOCX and EPUB import, bulk catalog import, and tracked changes brought back in from your editor.
Productivity
Sprints, local activity tracking, targets and writing schedules, opt-in aggregate analytics, assisted scheduling.
Scribi Cloud sync
Your local database mirrored to the cloud, encrypted in transit and at rest.
Project sharing
Handoff collaboration: share a project with an editor, co-author, illustrator, or beta reader; only the sharer subscribes.
Friends and in-app chat
Add friends by email; chat one on one or in groups, with secure template sharing.
The assistant
Built in, with your own OpenRouter or OpenAI key, or Claude Desktop through the MCP plugin; the same tools either way.
The MCP server
The tool server the in-app assistant already runs on; local only, and technically usable by other local agents.
Building
In active development, in roughly this order.
The mobile companion app
iOS and Android for notes, outlines, brainstorms, beat sheets, and staying connected to your projects. Mobile comes first.
Scribi on the web
A browser-based Scribi for your synced projects from any computer, after the mobile app.
Web-based MCP
A hosted gateway so assistants like Claude.ai and ChatGPT can reach your Scribi projects, not just local desktop apps.
The map creator and editor
Generate and edit maps inside Scribi instead of uploading them finished.
Readerling, the platform
Live at readerling.com and in active development: author pages now, then wikis, reader accounts, direct ebook sales, and the reader side.
On the horizon
Coming, and in no hurry.
Live collaboration
Working in one project at the same time. The handoff model covers most of it today, so this is not being rushed.
Group pen names
Pen names shared between collaborators, for co-authored series and shared universes.
Group sprints and shared task boards
Sprints run together and task boards kept with an accountability group.
Expanded asset sharing
More kinds of assets over chat, opening the door to round-robin critiques between friends.
Later
After the studio and the platform are where they need to be.
Publish to Readerling from Scribi
Push a catalog straight from the studio: worlds, series, books, covers, and bio as a live, indexed author page.
Sell and connect with readers
Direct ebook sales with watermarked delivery, reader follows, and honest reading insight. No algorithms.
Wishlist
Ideas still being dreamed up.
Map assets and visual packs
Artist-made icon sets for interactive maps: castles, forests, cities, dungeons.
Custom symbols and embedded fonts
Commissioned scene dividers, header ornaments, and display fonts for a signature look in export.
This roadmap reflects my current intentions and is subject to change. Features may shift between states as development progresses. I build in the open because writers deserve to know where their tools are going.
