First steps after signup

  • Create or continue a manuscript from the homepage board or Library.
  • Set a daily word goal when you are ready.
  • Invite a writing friend later from your Writing Circle - optional, but streaks are harder to break when someone is watching.

You can start on Free forever. Upgrade to Pro when you want unlimited manuscripts, SMS idea capture, and deeper insights. See Free vs Pro.
