Descriptions, facts and images for anyone writing about Penwright. All free to use.
Short description
Penwright is a full manuscript app for Android. Writers organise chapters and scenes, keep a Codex of characters and places that links itself as they type, and compile a submission-ready manuscript, with every scene saved as a plain Markdown file in a folder they choose.
Long description
Penwright has nine project types (novel, fan fiction, novella, novelette, short stories, flash fiction, poetry, zine and essays), each with its own structure. Names that have a Codex card link to it automatically, and every scene a card appears in links back; typing [[ and a name makes a new card. Scenes can be dated on custom fantasy, sci-fi or historical calendars and viewed on a timeline in story order. Books already written elsewhere import from Word, EPUB, RTF, HTML or text and are split into chapters. Compile exports .docx, .epub, .rtf or .pdf for self-publishing or Shunn-format submissions, and prepares chapters for posting on AO3.
There's no account and no cloud requirement, and the app has no AI assistant or chatbot. It detects e-ink devices such as Boox, Bigme, PocketBook, Meebook and Hisense, switches off animations, and turns pages with the volume keys. It can open an existing synced project folder or Markdown vault in place.
