[RELEASE DATE]

The first release.

• Write: chapter editor with word targets and live counts; import from .docx, Markdown and plain text.
• Write it with AI: start from an idea, a spark or Surprise me; choose the shape; answer two questions; approve the pitch (titles, cast, outline, first page); then the book writes itself in the background, chapter by chapter, with pause, stop, resume and undo.
• The authorship dial: four levels, set for the whole book or per chapter. AI mode with brief, outline, chapter drafting, expand, shape, rewrite, trim and word-target tools. Review AI changes paragraph by paragraph; chapter history before every AI change.
• Any AI service: Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Ollama and LM Studio, plus any OpenAI-compatible service. A model for each job, keys in the macOS Keychain, cost estimates and a monthly limit.
• Author profiles: name, bios, photo and writing voice for you and your pen names.
• Story bible: characters, places, facts, timeline and who-knows-what; manuscript scan without a key; AI extraction and continuity checks with flags.
• Covers: 10 templates, and a cover studio with layers: text, shapes, icons, ornaments, patterns made from the title, your own images and AI art. KDP wrap geometry with bleed, safe-area and barcode checks; 1600-pixel-wide ebook cover.
• Format: 17 KDP paperback trim sizes, interior type and leading, your own house-style rules.
