Corkboard
Every scene a card: its synopsis, label and status at a glance. Drag them into a new order and the book follows.
A writing studio for long-form fiction
Write in scenes and chapters. Plan on a corkboard, an outliner, a plot grid and a timeline. Keep your characters and places beside the text. Then compile the book to Word, PDF or EPUB.

Everything a book needs, in one place
Outliner
The whole book as a table: synopses, points of view, settings, word counts and targets, to read and edit in one go.
Plot grid
Plotlines against chapters, so you can see which thread goes quiet, and where.
Timeline
When each scene happens, whatever order you tell it in: by day, by date, or to the hour.
Cast and places
Characters and places on sheets of their own, linked to the scenes they’re in, with a map of who knows whom.
Series
Books in a series share their cast, places and notes. Change a character once and every book knows.
Compile
The manuscript to Word, PDF or EPUB (or Markdown, HTML and plain text): standard manuscript format, an e-book, a print proof, with front matter, chapter headings and scene breaks as you like.
Snapshots and history
A snapshot before every big change, and, if you want it, a full version history of every word.
Backups
A zip of the whole book when you close it, kept in a folder of your choosing, the newest few at a time.
From Scrivener and Plottr
Bring your projects with you: the binder, the text, synopses, notes and the cast come along.
Dictation
Press the microphone and talk. Written down on your own device, privately, in the language you speak.
Themes
Light, dark and typewriter, or make your own. A ruler, typewriter scrolling, and the typeface you write best in.
Plugins
Add what you need: a dashboard, a writing calendar, a name generator, a pomodoro timer, export through Pandoc, and more, from Bläck Studio’s list or your own.
Your books are yours
Your books are plain files in folders on your own computer, in an open format. No account, no cloud and no lock-in: Bläck Studio works offline, and nothing you write leaves your device unless you send it somewhere. Dictation can run on your own computer, phone or tablet, so what you say stays there too.
On your phone and tablet too
The same books, the same tools: write on the bus and go on at your desk. On a phone the text fills the screen; on a tablet you keep all three panes.
