CodexStudio manuscript editor with colour-coded story details
The Manuscript

Write like a novelist. Remember like a machine.

A distraction-free, Word-class editor built for long-form fiction. As you write, CodexStudio quietly recognises your characters, weapons, places and objects — colour-coding each one right in the prose. Click any highlight to edit that detail, and the change echoes across every chapter.

  • Colour-coded vital details inline
  • Click-to-edit updates everywhere
  • Autosave, word count & reading time

The Storyboard Codex

Every vital detail, in one searchable board.

Your story's memory lives here. Characters, factions, locations and artefacts become cards you can search, filter by type, and mark as 'included'. No more scrolling three chapters back to remember the name of that rifle.

  • Search & filter by type
  • Mark details as included
  • AI rates what actually matters

The Story Blueprint

Plan big-to-small — logline to acts to chapters.

Start with a single logline, break it into acts, and drop chapters onto a corkboard you can drag and reshape. Tension sliders, status flags and an AI 'Snowflake' expand help you outline before you write a single scene.

  • Corkboard & outline views
  • Drag chapters between acts
  • Detail-plan chapters with a beat/scene checklist
  • AI expands logline → acts → chapters

Gear Sync Continuity

Never lose track of a single round — or arrow — again.

A timeline-aware loadout engine for action, survival, fantasy and historical fiction. Whether your heroes carry rifles, longbows or muskets, tell it 'Rourke fired thirty rounds' or 'Mara loosed a dozen arrows' — it drains the right ammo pool, restocks from your source, and warns you the moment continuity breaks. Carry Kits too — Med Kits and pouches whose contents live in your Codex and auto-fill each character's tick-off checklist. Use a bandage in a scene and it ticks down; write 'restocked the med kit' and it fills back to full.

  • Natural-language gear updates
  • Smart ammo depletion — bullets, arrows, shells & more
  • Kit checklists — Med Kits & pouches that deplete and restock as you write
  • Low-stock & continuity warnings

Why I built this

I'm an aspiring author who never actually finished a book — I kept drowning in my own notes, characters and world details. So I built the tool I wished I had. This is CodexStudio.
