WritingaleWrite books in plain markdown.

Linked, tracked, and yours — every chapter, character, and place is a plain text file you can read in any editor, forever.

Quick Start

What is Writingale?

File Format

📁

Plain files, no lock-in

A book is a folder of markdown files with small YAML frontmatter blocks. Git-friendly, greppable, and readable without the app.

🔗

Links that never break

Entities reference each other with stable [[uid]] links. Rename a character at any point — every mention follows, and files stay untouched until export.

🧩

Your own entity types

Chapters, characters, locations, items, and notes are just the default template. Define scenes, factions, spells — any type, with its own traits and fields.

🗺️

Graph, timeline, journeys

Writingale reads your structured data backwards — who appears where, when, and with whom — and draws the map, the timeline, and each character's journey for you.

✍️

A focused markdown editor

Live markdown styling, reference autocomplete, focus and typewriter modes, tabs and split panes, and a distraction-free view.

📤

One clean manuscript

Export compiles the manuscript tree into a single clean markdown file, with references resolved to names and comments stripped.
