Everything a writer needs.
Loomwork brings writing, revision, and intelligence together in a single, beautiful application. No juggling between tools. No distractions. Just a quiet desk where your best work happens.
The Writing Experience
The Canvas.
A clean, spacious writing surface designed to disappear while you work. Everything you need is one gesture away. Nothing you don't need is ever in sight.
A block editor built for prose
Every paragraph, every heading, every scene break lives in its own block. Move them, rearrange them, label them. Your manuscript is made of pieces you can see and shape.
Slash commands & floating toolbar
Type a forward slash to summon any block type instantly. Select text and a quiet formatting bar appears right where you need it. No hunting through menus.
Fifteen block types for every kind of writing
Prose, Chapter, Part, Section, Scene, Dialogue, Transition, Note, Source — plus screenplay types like Character Name, Parenthetical, Act, Scene Heading, and Scene Break. Each has its own visual treatment.
Status badges that track your progress
Every block carries a status: Draft, Revision, Final, or Archived. At a glance, you can see which passages still need work and which are polished and ready.
Auto-save, always
Your work is saved continuously as you type. No manual saves, no anxious key-commands. Close the lid, open it tomorrow, and everything is exactly where you left it.
Typewriter scrolling
The line you're writing stays in the center of the screen. Your eyes stay in one place. The page moves beneath your words, the way a typewriter carriage returns.
Perspectives
Five ways to see your story.
The same manuscript, seen from five different angles. Each view reveals something the others can't. Switch between them freely as your work demands.
Canvas
The writing surface. Where words happen.
Graph
Characters and relationships, mapped visually.
Timeline
Events in order. See your story's chronology.
Corkboard
Index cards you can arrange and rearrange.
Outline
The skeleton of your manuscript, laid bare.
Distraction-Free
Silence everything but the writing.
When you need to disappear into the work, Loomwork disappears with you. Two modes designed for the kind of deep concentration that produces your best pages.
Focus Mode
Everything dims except the paragraph you're writing. The rest of your manuscript fades to a whisper. You see only the sentence that matters right now. When you move on, the next paragraph gently comes into focus.
Zen Mode
The toolbar vanishes. The sidebar vanishes. The status bar vanishes. All that remains is your text on an empty page, and the steady rhythm of your thoughts becoming sentences. Pure, uninterrupted writing.
Project Types
Ten forms. One application.
Choose your form and the entire application adapts — layout, structure, templates, and tools all shift to fit the way you work. Every project type is a different writing desk.

Chapters, parts, and long arcs

Tight structure, single sitting

Scenes, acts, and dialogue

Clear explanation, step by step
General
A blank desk for anything
Intelligence
Like a brilliant editor
who's read every page.
Loomwork's intelligence reads your entire manuscript — not just the sentence you're working on. It knows your characters by name. It remembers that the café was on Maple Street in chapter three. Available with Pro.
Writing Assistant
Six modes to help you revise: rewrite, expand, condense, continue, brainstorm, or adjust tone. Every suggestion reads the surrounding context, so it sounds like you wrote it.
Continuity Checker
Blue eyes in chapter three, brown eyes in chapter twelve? A name that changes spelling? Loomwork flags contradictions, timeline errors, and inconsistencies across your entire manuscript.
Entity Extraction
Every character, location, and significant detail is automatically identified and organized into a living reference you can consult while you write.
Relationship Mapping
See how your characters connect to one another — allies, rivals, family, strangers who meet in chapter nine. A visual web of every relationship in your story.
Thread Tracking
Identifies your plot lines, character arcs, and thematic promises. Shows which threads are active, dormant, or resolved — and alerts you when one has been left hanging.
Timeline Extraction
Automatically builds a chronological map of events in your manuscript. See the order things happen, spot gaps in your timeline, and keep your story's clock consistent.
Syllabic Flow
Analyzes the rhythm and cadence of your prose — stress patterns, tempo changes, smoothness. Find the passages that sing and the ones that stumble.
Style Analysis
Deep insight into your writing patterns: vocabulary richness, sentence variety, dialogue balance, description density. Understand your strengths and the habits you might want to break.
Character Arc Visualization
See your characters’ emotional journeys mapped across the manuscript as a line chart. Positive and negative intensity, chapter by chapter. Identify flat stretches, dramatic peaks, and arcs that lose momentum.
Publishing Calendar
Set milestones, track your writing velocity, and project your draft completion date based on actual output. Built for indie authors managing their own publishing schedule across multiple books.
Series Bible
Structured character profiles — appearance, personality, backstory, relationships, arc — that sync automatically from the intelligence engine. Track characters, locations, and lore across multiple books in a series.
Manuscript Preparation
A guided seven-step workflow for editors: run style sheet, validate manuscript, review track changes, check continuity, review comments, final proofread, export for client. Track your progress with a completion bar.
Read Aloud
Hear your manuscript spoken back to you with natural, lifelike voices. Catch awkward rhythms, stilted dialogue, and clumsy phrasing that only the ear can find.
The Free Toolkit
Everything included. No subscription required.
The free version of Loomwork is not a trial. It is a complete, professional writing application — every tool listed here is yours from day one.
Prose Linter
Flags passive voice, weak adverbs, clichés, and repetitive sentence openings. Like a sharp-eyed copyeditor, always on. Works without an internet connection.
Revision Passes
Six guided revision passes — Structure, Dialogue, Description, Pacing, Continuity, and Polish — each with a checklist to keep you focused on one layer at a time.
Writing Goals
Daily word targets, session goals, and writing streaks. Set the pace that works for you and build the habit that finishes manuscripts.
Analytics Dashboard
See how fast you write, when you're most productive, which days you show up, and how your word count grows over time. Your writing life, measured honestly.
Writing Prompts
Thirty curated prompts across character, scene, conflict, dialogue, and sensory categories. When you're stuck, they're a door.
Name Generator
Character names, place names, tavern names, ship names — in classic, literary, modern, and fantasy styles. One click to copy.
Snippet Library
Save your favorite descriptions, dialogue patterns, and transitions. Insert them anywhere with a click. Your personal phrasebook, always at hand.
Submission Tracker
Track every query letter and submission — agent, publisher, status, dates, response times. Keep a professional record without leaving your writing desk.
Series Manager
Writing a trilogy? Track characters, locations, and lore that span multiple books. Know which elements appear in which installment.
Find & Replace
Search your entire manuscript in an instant. Rename a character, fix a recurring typo, or find every mention of a place name across three hundred pages.
Command Palette
Press one shortcut to search everything — every command, every chapter title, every line. The fastest way to navigate a long manuscript.
Export
Word, ePub, PDF, Fountain, Final Draft (FDX), Markdown, or plain text. Word exports include running headers and page breaks. ePub includes cover images, series metadata, and ISBN. Screenplay exports in industry-standard Fountain and FDX formats.
Import
Bring in existing work from Word (.docx), Markdown (.md), or RTF files. Loomwork detects chapter structure, preserves formatting, and converts everything into blocks you can shape.
Track Changes
Accept or reject edits with a click. Insertions and deletions are highlighted inline. Bulk accept or reject all changes when you’re ready. The same editorial workflow you know from Word, built for manuscripts.
Inline Comments
Highlight any passage and leave a comment anchored to the exact text. Comments float beside the relevant prose, not in a disconnected sidebar. Resolve them when you’re done.
Style Sheet
Define your house rules — “theater” not “theatre,” “okay” not “OK.” Check your entire manuscript against your style sheet in one click and apply all fixes instantly. Import and export rules to share with editors.
Manuscript Validation
Ten automated checks: orphan chapters, empty blocks, inconsistent character names, excessive adverbs, long paragraphs, repeated words, missing scene breaks, dialogue attribution gaps, passive voice density, and incomplete sentences. Click any issue to jump to it.
Chapter Goals & Heatmap
Set per-chapter word targets and see your entire manuscript as a color-coded heatmap. Spot which chapters are lean, which are bloated, and where the balance needs work.
Compile System
Choose which chapters to include, set the order, pick your font and line spacing, and add front and back matter — title page, copyright, dedication, also by, about the author. Export a publish-ready manuscript in one click.
Screenplay Formatting
Character names, parentheticals, dual dialogue, scene numbering, revision colors, and automatic element flow — press Enter after a character name and Loomwork switches to dialogue automatically. Export to Fountain or Final Draft (FDX).
Cast List & Page Count
Auto-generate a cast list from your screenplay — every character, line count, and first appearance. Calculate page count and estimated runtime using industry-standard timing (one page per minute).
Privacy by design.
Your manuscript lives on your computer and nowhere else. There are no cloud servers holding copies of your novel. No accounts required to start writing. When you do use the intelligence features, requests are stateless — nothing is stored, logged, or used for training. Your unpublished work stays unpublished until you decide otherwise.
