Write the story only you could write. ScribeMe opens on a little bookshop. Step inside and every story you've ever started is standing on your shelf: novels, fanfic, poems, a secret diary. Each one looks the way you made it. Pull one down and keep going. MAKE IT YOUR AESTHETIC Pink and glowing, or dark wood and candlelight: pick your shop style. Then choose your covers (leather, cloth, hardcover or paperback), your paper, your pen and your font. Decorate your shelves with ravens, skulls, crystals, unicorns, hearts and candles, or photograph your own keepsake and stand it right there. Seven app icons to match your vibe. WRITE ANYTHING • Stories, fanfic, poetry, song ideas, a whole novel • Chapters, scene breaks, bold and italics • Talk instead of type with on-device dictation • Night Pages for writing after midnight • Draw on the page and add pictures • Soundscapes: rain, a crackling fire or waves A DIARY THAT STAYS SECRET Lock any book with Face ID. Locked books stay out of search, and Siri never reads them out. Write in your diary with Siri: "Write in my diary in ScribeMe."
