A private writing studio for finishing serious books.

Scritorio keeps your manuscript local while giving you book-aware editorial review, reader simulation, codex tracking, visual development, and a self-publishing path.

The author writes the book. Scritorio reads, critiques, checks continuity, protects canon, develops visuals, and keeps the publishing work visible without taking over the author's voice.

Your manuscript remains local

Scritorio works with ordinary files in ordinary folders: manuscript, notes, codex, prompts, images, reports, exports, and revision history.

The board reads with context

Editor, Character Psychologist, Worldbuilding Expert, Continuity Editor, Writing Coach, and First-Time Reader modes see only the context you choose.

Publishing is part of the product

Cover concepts, export profiles, encrypted packages, metadata, visual planning, and self-publishing preparation stay connected to the book.

Built around the draft not around a chatbot.

Everything orbits the manuscript: local files, revision history, contextual word help, editorial notes, codex, research, cover concepts, and exports.

Write without interruption

A focused manuscript surface with local autosave, source/preview editing, and a quiet layout for sustained drafting.

Editorial Board

Run targeted reviews from specialized AI readers: structure, continuity, character psychology, worldbuilding, and craft coaching.

First-Time Reader

Test what a selected audience understands from the page without leaking private notes, future canon, or hidden explanations.

Codex and research

Track characters, locations, organizations, items, concepts, events, style rules, sources, notes, and supporting evidence.

Images and covers

Build character images, codex assets, visual references, and wraparound cover concepts while saving prompts and sidecars locally.

Revision history

Create book snapshots, compare changes, restore earlier states, and keep the revision trail close to the manuscript.

Send the manuscript to the right reader.

Each board member has a distinct job. You choose the context, preview what is sent, and keep the response attached to the book.
