For readers and writers

For Readers

  • Stories that branch and remember

    Choices shape what happens next. NPCs remember how you treated them. Factions evolve.

  • Cloud saves across devices

    Start on your phone, continue on your laptop. Multiple save slots per story to explore every path.

  • Subscribe to your favorite authors

    Follow writers and get notified the moment new chapters or stories drop. Authors can send newsletters to their subscribers.

  • Audio narration with voice input

    Stories with narration play audio automatically, with character voices and background music. Pick choices by voice if you prefer for a completely hands-free experience.

  • Play with friends

    Share an invite code, vote on choices together. Works on any published story. No account needed to join.

  • Themed for every genre

    Horror feels dark, romance feels warm, sci-fi feels futuristic. Writers can theme stories scene-by-scene.

  • No ads. Ever.

    Nothing breaks immersion more than ads. We hate them as much as you do.

For Writers

  • Visual editor with a story tree

    Write scenes in a clean editor and see your whole story as a navigable tree. No coding required.

  • Optional code editor & debug tools

    Edit your story as code if you prefer typing to clicking. Debug tools let you jump to any scene, change variables on the fly, and run scripts while testing.

  • Collaborate with co-authors

    Invite editors and beta readers with per-role permissions. Comments, presence, and live cursors so you can work together without emailing files.

  • Episodic publishing

    Schedule chapter drops like a TV show. Subscribers get notified automatically. Build a forum around your story.

  • See what readers do

    Heatmaps of which choices get picked, where readers stop, which paths get more traffic.

  • Audio & 180+ languages

    Upload background music and sound effects. Translate scenes, choices, and characters - manually or one-click automated.

  • Built-in monetization

    Sell stories, price individual chapters or characters, run subscriptions, issue discount codes. You keep over 60% of a $5 sale; we handle Stripe and chargebacks.

  • Import & Export

    Bring stories in from Twine (Harlowe, SugarCube, Chapbook) or Ink. Export to standalone HTML and host it wherever. No lock-in.
