Ink Like Smoke

Cassian did not look up from the map. “You came back,” he said, as though the words cost him something more dear than pride.

She had told herself she would not — and yet here she stood, ink on her hands and the whole ruined city at her back.

Every tool a romantasy writer requires.

Six instruments, one inkwell. Each was carved for the way you actually write — in scraps, in fevered nights, in margins beside coffee rings.

I · 01

Chapter & Scene Editor

A warm paper page that feels like a real desk, not a spreadsheet. Drag and drop scenes and chapters into whatever order the story wants, and trust it to save every keystroke — silently, never a spinning wheel.

Drafts · Drag & Drop · Focus Mode
II · 02

Plot Arc

A plot grid built for romantasy story structure. Map out your acts and arcs, lay every beat where it belongs, and see the whole shape of your story before you write a word. Plan the journey, then follow it.

Beats · Acts · Subplots
III · 03

World Codex

A reference library for your world. Locations, magic systems, factions, objects, lore — each with a name, image, and description, linked to your manuscript so canon never frays.

Lore · Maps · Magic Systems
IV · 04

The Cast

Souls, not stat blocks. Portraits, personality, relationship webs, wounds, secrets, and the way they take their tea. Everything you need to keep dozens of characters consistent across 120,000 words.

Arcs · Personality · Portraits
V · 05

Mood Board

The vision board your story deserves. Pin images, notes, and color swatches on a freeform canvas, drag them anywhere, and thread related ideas together — all inside your project, not a separate app.

Aesthetic · Inspiration · Ideas
VI · 06

Writing Goals & Stats

Daily word counts with streaks, a project goal with a progress bar, and a deadline pace that recalculates every morning to tell you today's exact target. Numbers in service of the story — never against it.

Share your draft. Keep your rights.

Generate a private link for any beta reader — no account required on their end. They read on the web, leave inline comments on specific passages, and their notes appear in your editor as they write them. And every copy is watermarked with the reader's name to prevent manuscript leaks. Beta readers also can't copy any text.

  • Every copy watermarked with the reader's name
  • Private links — no account required to read
  • Revocable any time, with optional expiry dates
  • Inline comments land in your editor in real time
  • View-count tracking on every share
  • All feedback organized by chapter in one panel

Publishers have watermarked ARCs for decades. Prosebound brings it to indie authors for the first time — no other writing app does this.

A Letter, Half-Sealed

Cassian did not look up from the map. “You came back,” he said, as though the words cost him something. She had told herself she would not — and yet here she stood, ink on her hands and the whole ruined city at her back.

“I came back,” Isolde agreed, “for the letter. Not for you.”

This line gutted me — the “not for you” is doing so much work. Don't you dare cut it.
