## What is Edda?

Edda is a writing app for novelists, screenwriters and worldbuilders. Plan your story, build your world and write the book, all in one place, on your iPhone and iPad.

WRITE
- A calm, focused editor for every scene, with word counts, reading time and reading level as you go
- Parts, chapters and scenes you can reorder, with cards, an outline and a corkboard
- Dictation, so you can speak a scene instead of typing it
- Writing goals and sprints to keep you moving

BUILD YOUR WORLD
- Characters with roles, backstories, goals, flaws and two-way relationships
- Locations, maps with regions and routes, and family trees
- Timelines with eras, and custom calendars with your own months, moons and holidays
- Articles for history, magic systems, religions and anything else your world needs

PLOT
- Story structure templates and beat sheets, with a timeline of how your story rises and falls
- Continuity notes and tags so nothing slips

MORE THAN NOVELS
Screenplays, sitcom scripts, stage plays, audio dramas, podcasts, comics, interactive stories, picture books, poetry and song lyrics, each with its own layout.

EDIT WITH THE SKALD
The Skald reads your chapter and flags long sentences, repeated words, filler and passive voice, with Flesch, Fog and SMOG readability scores. It is rule-based and runs on your device. No AI, ever.

YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS
Your projects live on your device and Edda works offline. There is no account to create, no tracking and no AI training on your writing. Export to Word, EPUB and PDF whenever you like.

TRY IT FREE
Every feature is free for 30 days. To keep writing after that, buy a lifetime license key for iPhone and iPad at edda.ink. Pay once, no subscription, free updates.

Edda is also available for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 6.1.0 — 2026-11-06

Edda now knows your characters, places and dates.

- Names you've written up are underlined in the editor. Hover one (tap on a phone) for a card with their role, their age in this scene, a short description and a link to open them. A name that fits two entries is marked so you can tell them apart.
- A new Names panel beside the scene shows who and where the scene mentions, links them to the scene in one click, and points out names in your text that aren't in your project yet.
- Fact checks: if your prose says a character's eyes are green and their profile says blue, or a dead character walks back in, Edda tells you, quotes the sentence, and lets you update the profile or mark it as fine. Continuity also scans the whole manuscript for names.
- Character History: a new tab lists each character's life in dated order, from birth through every scene and timeline event, with their age at each one.
- Timeline events record who and where was involved, and you can add an event straight from the scene you're writing.
- Write "in the spring of 1203" and Edda offers to set the scene's date. Works in every language Edda speaks.
- Edda's rune icon now points the right way.
- Fixes from our beta testers. Thank you.
