## What is Manuscript Writer?

Manuscript Writer is a calm, focused home for your novel.

WRITE
A distraction-free Markdown editor with typewriter scrolling, focus mode, and live word counts. Set a word target and watch your progress grow.

OUTLINE
Keep chapters, scenes, and research in folders. See your whole book as cards at a glance, with word counts on every note.

SYNC
Your library syncs privately through your own iCloud. The developer has no server, no analytics, and no way to read your writing.

IMPORT
Bring an existing desktop writing project into the app with folders and chapter text intact. Export your work anytime for backup or for finishing on your computer.

One-time purchase. No subscription, no account, no lock-in.
