Write scene by scene without losing the thread

The manuscript stays at the centre. The outline, useful reference cards and writing settings remain close enough to use, yet discreet enough to let the prose flow.

Shape the structure of your book

Move a scene to another chapter, swap parts or reposition a revelation. The outline evolves with the story and remains flexible at every stage.

  • Keep the structure visible while writing
  • Reorder scenes and chapters with cards, statuses, summaries and tags

An interface that
stays out of your way

Focus mode hides panels, menus and project details. Context panels appear when you hover over them and close again when the pointer leaves.

  • Collapse side panels in one action
  • A stable reading width for long sessions

Keep your writing rhythm in your hands

Frequent actions deserve quick access. Plumelin provides shortcuts that keep the experience fluid, whether you are a new or experienced user.

Keep your hands on the keyboard

Type / in the editor to add a template, create a scene or mention an element of the world without interrupting your flow.

Slash commands
Commands follow the manuscript language and stay in the flow of the text. Ctrl/Cmd + K always finds a scene, reference card or setting.

Respect the language of the manuscript

Switch languages whenever you need to. Spelling and typography remain guided as you type.

English typography

"Are you coming?" Ysée asked.

French typography

« Tu viens ? » demanda Ysée.

  • Open the world entry when it needs editing

A text connected to everything around it

Draft, chapter in progress, passage under review or complete manuscript: the text can enrich the world, circulate for feedback or become a clean file without rebuilding the project elsewhere.
