## What is Novel Binder?

Your manuscript doesn't vanish because a cloud sync hiccuped. Nothing stops working after an OS update. It writes vertically, the way a novel is meant to look, and exports the way you actually need it.

Novel Binder is a long-form writing app for iPhone and iPad. Organize chapters and scenes as a reorderable binder, draft in a distraction-free editor, and export to the format your publisher, contest, or reader actually wants — all stored on your device, with no account and no subscription.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Binder — an unlimited, reorderable tree of folders, texts, and notes for chapters and scenes
• Lightweight markup — ruby text, emphasis dots, and headings, written right in plain text
• Corkboard — scenes as cards with a synopsis and color label; drag to reorder and the manuscript order updates with it
• Goals — a target character count and deadline, today's required pace, and a daily writing chart
• Snapshots — save a version of any text, compare the difference, and restore it
• Export to vertical (tategaki) PDF on a manuscript-paper grid, horizontal PDF, EPUB 3, Word (.docx), plain text, or Markdown
• Import an existing .scriv project, a Word document (.docx), or plain text/Markdown
• Focus mode — typewriter scrolling with just your word count in view
• Search and replace across the entire project

BUILT TO NOT LOSE YOUR WORK
Everything is stored locally and autosaves about a second after you stop typing, with a save indicator always visible. A daily automatic backup keeps 7 generations, and you can export a single backup file to the Files app any time — useful before switching devices.

ACCESSIBILITY
Full Dynamic Type support, even inside the editor.

PRIVACY
Novel Binder collects no personal information, and contains no ads, no analytics, and no trackers. Full policy at the support link below.

PRICING
One-time purchase. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, ever.
