The writing softwarethat thinks about your whole project.
Guided narrative plan, character sheets, academic citations, context-aware AI, edition-quality PDF export. Everything an author, a student or an essayist needs — in one interface, 100% web, no install.
Structure
Chapters, scenes, outline and storyboard stay linked.
A long project holds better when its architecture stays visible.
Hero's Journey, Save the Cat or free outline. Reorder by drag and drop without breaking the rest of the project.
From idea to cleanly exportable project.
Extypis supports every long-form project — novel, thesis, essay, poetry collection, screenplay — on the same backbone: structure, draft, revise, export.
Why a dedicated writing software rather than Word or Google Docs?
Generic word processors are made for short, simple documents. They rarely carry the weight of a long-form project.
Three value blocks instead of one blurry pile of features.
Extypis works as three complementary pillars: hold the structure, support editorial work, then output a clean manuscript.
The project stays manageable while it keeps changing.
Narrative plan, chapters, scenes, storyboard, narrative sheets — the backbone stays linked to the text, and moving an element automatically updates the rest.
An AI that knows your project, not just your paragraph.
On every call, the AI reads your plan, your sheets and the scenes already written. Where a generic AI starts from scratch on every prompt, ours keeps the project coherent end to end.
The project exits cleanly, ready to be presented.
Finishing tools matter as much as drafting tools: analysis, citations, title page, multi-format export. Everything is integrated, nothing to glue back manually.
Give your project a real reading address.
Once the text is ready, you don't have to leave Extypis to find your first readers. Publish in one click on the public catalog and give your book a clean, readable, shareable page.
Published directly on Extypis — no fees, no middleman.
Publishing opens a dedicated page for your project: cover, title page, chapters, table of contents. The content is frozen at publication, so your readers always see a stable version while you keep working. You decide when to push a new version.
A reading page for each project
Customizable URL, title page, cover, table of contents and chapter-by-chapter navigation.
A catalog that helps readers find your book
Your project can appear in the public catalog, categories, subcategories and trending page — or stay accessible only through the direct link.
Readers who can actually react
Readers can comment chapter by chapter, mention a specific paragraph, and you get notified for every feedback.
A stable version without breaking your work
The text is frozen at publication time. You keep writing on your side, then decide when to push an update.
Everything Extypis unlocks for you
Hold your story, from outline to final page.
Narrative tools you won't find elsewhere — turn a tangle of ideas into a structure that holds.
AI that suggests, never replaces
The AI permanently sees your whole project — outline, sheets, scenes already written. Every rewrite, every completion, every suggestion, every cover stays consistent with your entire work, and at no extra cost or setup. You approve every word.
Estimates if you only use this feature. Credits are shared across every AI tool.
Ship a book, not a file.
From manuscript to finished book: professional exports, academic citations, direct publishing.
Analyse and refine your prose
Style tools that go beyond the spell-checker: readability, poetic meter, repetitions, connectors, passive voice.
Daily writing comfort
Everything that makes long-form writing sustainable: shortcuts, templates, anchored notes, versions, goals.
Lifetime updates
Every future Extypis innovation included, no extra cost, no paywall.
Backing an indie project
Extypis is an independent, self-funded project — no ads, no venture capital.
Human support
Got a question? You talk directly to the creator, never a chatbot.
Free to begin, even to finish. Serious when you need to go deeper.
All structural features (narrative plan, sheets, citations, PDF export) are free, no credit card needed. Paid plans extend AI credits and depth of use once the project becomes more demanding.
Questions you usually ask before picking a writing software.
What is the best writing software?
Extypis is a writing software with a generous free plan (500 AI credits/month) and a Premium tier at €9/month (2,000 AI credits). It offers professional tools: guided narrative plan (Hero's Journey), AI assistant that respects your voice, 8 narrative sheet types, bibliographic citations (APA, MLA, Chicago), PDF export via LaTeX, integrated dictionary. Unlike Scrivener (paid, desktop), Extypis runs in the browser with no install.
What software should I use to write a book?
To write a book you need software that handles long-form structure: chapters, scenes, characters, versions. Extypis offers exactly that: chapter/sheet hierarchy, character sheets with clickable @mentions, narrative plan, snapshots to revert to previous versions, AI assistant that reads your text before suggesting, and editorial-quality PDF export.
What's the difference between Extypis and Scrivener?
Scrivener costs around €70 (perpetual desktop license) with no built-in AI. Extypis is 100% web (no install), language-aware (dictionary, syllable counter, readability score), and ships with an AI that respects your voice (rewrite, continuation, continuity check, sheet generation). Free plan with 500 AI credits, Premium €9/month for 2,000 credits.
Can I use Extypis for academic writing (thesis, dissertation)?
Yes. Extypis ships a full bibliographic system with 7 styles (APA, MLA, Chicago Notes, Chicago Author-Date, IEEE, Harvard, Vancouver), automatic footnotes, a reference library with ISBN/OpenLibrary lookup, and editorial PDF export via LaTeX. Switch styles in one click and the whole bibliography reformats. All of this is included in the free plan.
Does Extypis have a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes the full writing toolset (narrative plan, character sheets, academic citations, PDF/DOCX/EPUB export, dictionary, style analysis, snapshots) with no project or word limit, plus 500 free AI credits every month. No credit card. Premium (€9/month) unlocks 2,000 AI credits/month, AI cover generation and Sonnet-level quality on heavy AI features.
How do AI credits work?
Extypis uses a single pool of monthly AI credits shared across all AI features (chat assistant, inline rewrite, continuation, narrative-sheet generation, editorial pitch, continuity check, metadata). Free plan: 500/month. Premium: 2,000/month (€9). If you need more, you can top up with one-shot packs (S, M or L) without expiry. The AI respects your voice.
How do I export my manuscript as PDF?
Extypis generates professional-quality PDFs via LaTeX compilation. Configure format (A4, A5, Letter), margins, font, size, line spacing. Footnotes are properly paginated, the bibliography respects the chosen style. You can also export to DOCX (Word), EPUB (ebook), HTML or Markdown. Export is in the free plan.
What types of projects can I write with Extypis?
Extypis adapts to every kind of writing: novels and short stories (narrative plan, character sheets), essays and articles (logical connectors, argumentative structure), theses and dissertations (citations, footnotes), poetry (syllable counter, alexandrine detection), theater and screenplays (act/scene structure), blogs (readability score, writing goals).
