BookForge: Book Writing Studio

BookForge is a professional book-writing studio built for authors who want to spend less time managing documents — and more time actually writing. From a focused, distraction-free editor to publish-ready export controls, BookForge keeps your entire manuscript organized, structured, and ready to send to editors or self-publishing platforms.

Your work stays 100% private and secure. BookForge stores your manuscript files locally on your Mac with zero mandatory accounts — giving you full ownership, offline reliability, and complete creative control over your work.

Key Features

Distraction-Free Editor A minimal, focused writing environment with customizable typography, typewriter scrolling, focus mode, and multi-theme support (Dark, Light, Sepia, and Midnight) — so you stay in the writing flow.

Full Manuscript Structure & Corkboard Organize front matter, body chapters, and back matter in a clean sidebar. Use the Corkboard view to map your entire book as draggable cards — add synopses, reorder scenes, and visualize your plot before writing a word.

Export to Any Format Generate professional Print PDFs, EPUBs, DOCX, Markdown, and Plain Text files — with full control over typography, trim sizes, margins, chapter heading styles, and scene breaks. Preview your PDF with a built-in visualizer before exporting.

Understand Your Manuscript Manuscript Statistics reveal your total and unique word counts, words per chapter, vocabulary richness, average sentence length, most-used words, and progress toward standard genre word counts.

Writing Goals & Sprint Timer Set session or project word-count targets with live progress meters. Use timed writing sprints (15, 25, or 45 minutes) to build a consistent daily writing habit and maintain momentum.

Snapshot Version History Capture manual or automatic safety snapshots of your entire manuscript at any milestone — experiment with major rewrites with the peace of mind of 1-click restore points.

Pro Print Layout & Typesetting Standard trim presets (A4, 6×9, 5.5×8.5, 5×8), mirrored gutter margins for print binding, inside/outside margin controls, and reliable running headers/page numbering.

Advanced Search & Project Navigation Full-manuscript search with support for case sensitivity, whole-word matching, and batch replacement across all chapters and notes.
