The strongest tension is already in the scene: the light is on, and it should not be. I’d let that detail carry the opening.

Different writers. Different rhythms.

There’s room for your process.

A chapter, a poem, a careful second pass. Shape the workspace around the work in front of you.

For the long draft

Keep chapters, research, and character notes within reach while the story takes shape.

For the right words

Stay close to the page. Try another line, consider a suggestion, and keep the voice your own.

For the next revision

Read feedback beside the draft, compare another direction, and choose what moves the work forward.

For the ideas you follow

Bring your notes and source material into the same workspace as the writing they inform.

Assistance you can direct

Keep the decisions close to the draft.

Choose the context, try another direction, and stay in control of what changes.

Choose what AI sees

Bring the documents and folders that matter into a conversation. Give the task the context it needs.

Explore context

Give an idea its own branch

Explore an alternative without replacing your main draft. Compare the result before deciding what to keep.

Before you begin

A few things worth knowing.

About your workspace, your files, and the assistance beside your writing.

More questions? Visit Help →
Can I write without an account?

Yes. In the desktop app, choose to continue without signing in and write on your device. Local writing is kept separate from an account and is not automatically uploaded when you sign in.

Can I keep writing offline?

Yes. The desktop app saves writing locally so you can keep working offline. AI requests and connected collaboration need an internet connection.

Where are my writing files saved?

On desktop, choose a folder for each Project and a default folder for standalone documents. Skraib keeps native .skraib files there, alongside its local recovery storage. Connected accounts can also use cloud sync.

Does AI change my draft automatically?

Writers and review workflows present proposed changes for you to accept or reject. You can also use branches to explore alternatives. Scribe offers suggestions as you type, with behavior controlled through its settings.

Can I bring existing writing and export it later?

You can import formats including Markdown, TXT, and DOCX, then continue editing in Skraib. Desktop also supports PDF import; extraction quality depends on the source. Export options include Word, PDF, and EPUB.

What is included in the free plan?

The free plan includes the writing core and a limited allowance of AI assistance. Visit the pricing page for the current feature comparison, usage limits, and paid plans.

Can I send my manuscript to a reader?

Yes. Share a frozen project copy with beta readers or editors. They can read and comment on the website, and you can review their feedback in Skraib.
