— The writing environment —

Built for how writers actually work

Not another text editor with a word count. Incipor understands manuscript structure, screenplay formatting, and the messy reality of a draft in progress.

Chapters & Sections

Organize your manuscript with drag-and-drop chapters, nested sections, and a sidebar that shows your whole book at a glance. Move scenes, split chapters, restructure freely.

Screenplay Mode

Full Fountain support with scene numbering, revision marks, dual dialogue, character auto-complete, and industry-standard page counts. Import existing Fountain files or start fresh.

Scene Breakdown

Plan your story visually. Beat boards, scene cards, and a breakdown editor that lets you see the architecture of your narrative before you commit to prose.

Character Tracking

Keep track of who appears where. Character reports show you scene presence, dialogue distribution, and help you catch the threads you've been carrying across 300 pages.

Export & Publish

Export your finished work to EPUB, PDF, or publish directly to Apple Books. Professional formatting without the hassle of a separate layout tool.

Open format, no lock-in

The .book format is documented and yours. EPUBs you've already exported keep working forever. No subscription holds your manuscript hostage.

— The editorial team, built in —

Your editorial desk

An indie author normally pays a freelance team for this work — continuity editor, line editor, manuscript assessment, beta reader. Incipor brings that desk into your manuscript.

Continuity Watch

Catches the eye-color change between chapter 2 and chapter 7. Catches the timeline contradiction four chapters later. The work a continuity editor does, on every save.

Manuscript Report

Pacing per chapter, dialogue density per scene, readability per page. The kind of editorial assessment that runs $500 to $2,000 from a freelance editor — built into the app.

Editorial Pass

A line editor's markup on a chapter, served as a list of suggestions. Accept or reject each one. Your voice, your call — every time.

Incipor's Studio mode listing editorial helpers — Revise in your voice, Polish dialogue, Propose hook, Editor pass, Continuity guardian, Editorial package — alongside a side-by-side accept/reject diff of a proposed paragraph revision.

— Three forms, one app —

One app for novels, screenplays, and non-fiction

Most writers work in more than one form. A novel and a screenplay shouldn't require two completely different apps with different paradigms, different export pipelines, different learning curves.

Incipor handles all three. Switch between prose and screenplay within the same project. Use the same sidebar, the same scene tools, the same export workflow. Your creative process shouldn't be fragmented by your software.

Novels & Long-form Chapters, sections, front/back matter, manuscript formatting
Screenplays Fountain format, scene numbers, revision marks, dual dialogue
Non-fiction Structured outlines, research notes, footnotes, citations

In a world of generated content, craft matters more than ever.

Incipor is a professional writing environment that respects the writer's craft. Smart tools handle the structural and editorial work so you can focus on what only you can do: tell your story.

— A name with a history —

Incipor — from incipit, "here begins"

Medieval scribes wrote incipit at the opening of a manuscript to identify the work before title pages existed. A book-authoring app is, almost literally, a tool for writing incipits. Read the full story →
