Extypis Releases

Snowflake Method: a new assistant guides you step by step to build your novel, from a single starting sentence all the way to your scene list. You work in layers — the one-sentence summary, the five-sentence summary, your character sheets, the detailed outline, then your scenes — each step building on the previous one. Your characters and scenes are linked to their sheets and chapters, to move smoothly from idea to a complete plan.

Your own world categories: on top of characters, locations, objects and the categories already available, you can now create your own — guilds, magic systems, factions, and more — each with its icon and colour, and reuse them from one project to another.

Reliable, guaranteed subscription confirmation emails: with every subscription, you now receive your confirmation email and invoice — guaranteed, even if there's a technical hiccup on our side at the moment of payment. A safety net automatically takes over if the email couldn't be sent in the seconds following the payment, and we now keep a trace of every send so we can spot any issue immediately.

Release notes formatting in the notification bell: the release preview shown in the bell menu now correctly displays bold, italic and links — just like on the changelog page. Previously, the formatting symbols were showing through as plain text.

New 'Accept proposal' button in the writing assistant: on every quote the assistant highlights in your text, you can now apply the suggested rewrite in one click. When the assistant didn't explicitly propose a new wording, the button directly generates one with AI based on the advice it gave — you then validate the result, or trigger another version.

Friendlier writing assistant: it now recognises what works in your passage first, then suggests a path forward — and always frames its ideas as invitations ('perhaps...', 'what if...', 'one direction could be...') rather than commands ('you must', 'replace'). No more cold or directive feedback: a real editor's dialogue that respects your work.

AI responses organised by theme: the assistant's feedback is now grouped under clear headings (Structure, Style, Dialogue, To rework, To keep…) rather than presented as one long list. You can immediately see the nature of each remark and focus on what matters to you.

Full quote highlighting in your text: when the assistant quotes a passage from your manuscript, the entire passage is now correctly highlighted, even when the AI returns slightly different apostrophes or ellipsis than the ones you typed. Previously, only part of the quote could appear coloured.

Font option available in every toolbar preset: the font picker, previously available only in the 'Poetry' preset, now also appears in the Fiction, Academic, Essay, Screenplay and Blog presets. No more switching presets just to change your typography.

Automatic language detection: if your browser is set to English (or any non-French language), the app takes you straight to the English version of the site on your first visit. Your choice is then remembered for next time, and you can of course switch manually at any moment.

Misleading display fixed on subscription plans: the "2 days free trial" badge that was mistakenly shown on subscription plans has been removed. No actual trial was being granted at checkout, so the information was incorrect and has been corrected.

Release notes formatting: bold text, italic text and links in release notes now display correctly on the changelog page.

Clearer, more reassuring cookie banner: the privacy preferences popup has been fully redesigned. Technical jargon ('truncated IP', 'session recording', 'heatmaps', 'legitimate interest') has been replaced with simple, direct wording. You see at a glance what's going on: Extypis measures your usage anonymously, with no way to identify you, and you stay in control of everything else. The 'Cookie Policy' page keeps the technical details for those who want to dig deeper.

Cookie banner hidden during customisation: when you click 'Customise' in the privacy preferences popup, the bottom banner now automatically disappears while you make your choices, and comes back if you close without saving. No more redundant display.

Immediate preview while the screenshot gallery loads: on the home page, the large gallery showing the app screenshots now displays an editor preview from the very first load, rather than an empty space. You see what Extypis looks like right away.

New plan: Extypis — €5/month or €50/year: designed for authors who want the full writing studio (storyboard, narrative sheets, bibliography, multi-format exports, snapshots, professional layout) without paying for AI. You stay on the same AI quota as a free account, but unlock all the premium tools. The subscription page now shows the three plans side by side: Free, Extypis, Extypis AI. You can switch from one plan to another at any time from your Subscription area. And if you'd like to try AI occasionally, one-shot credit packs remain available.

AI Roasting and Show, don't tell now inside the editor: both tools are now built into your workspace, under the Other tools menu of the Fiction tools view. Pick the exact chapters or sheets to analyse (with a status filter: all, completed, draft), see in real time how many AI credits will be consumed before launching, and retrieve your last ten analyses from a per-tool history. Roasting relies on an editor-grade AI to produce a structured critique with literal citations, comparable to what a professional editor would deliver.

AI Writing Assistant — more useful rewrite popover: when you click a highlighted passage in your text, the popover now shows the full AI note around that passage (the explanation, any rewrite suggestions it had proposed) instead of the isolated citation alone. Citation colours in the side panel have been significantly toned down, and the dashed outline around suggestions has been removed for cleaner reading.

Automatic typographic quotes and apostrophes in the editor: when you type straight keyboard quotes (") around a passage, the app instantly converts them to French chevrons « ... » with the correct non-breaking spaces; in English, you get curly quotes "...". Same for the apostrophe: "l'écriture" automatically becomes "l'écriture" with the proper typographic apostrophe. The conversion is disabled inside code blocks, and a simple backspace reverts it if you change your mind.

New free tool: AI Editor: paste an excerpt from your manuscript (up to several thousand words) and receive a full editorial report within seconds — overall impression, pacing, narrative voice, dialogue quality, atmosphere, strengths and areas for improvement. You can optionally target a publishing house to receive an analysis calibrated to its actual editorial line. Available without signup from the Tools page.

New free tool: Show, don't tell: paste a narrative passage and the tool flags every sentence that tells instead of shows (emotions stated rather than rendered through the senses, inner states declared instead of embodied in a gesture). For each instance you receive a concrete rewriting suggestion that turns the sentence into a living scene. Available without signup from the Tools page.

Narrative mind-map: tabs at the top of the view now support dropdown menus, and a new Other tools menu groups the family tree, timeline and upcoming companion views. The interface stays legible even when you add many narrative elements, and access to secondary views feels more natural.
