trove · Editor
Editor
Spectral or Lora, your line height, your column width. Drop-caps, paragraph spacing, cursor blink — every typographic lever a manuscript needs.
Lifetime
The Application.
Writing surface
The page, first.
A serious editor that gets out of the way. Typewriter scroll, focus mode, per-document typography, and a chrome that recedes when you draft.
trove · Focus mode
Focus mode
Dims everything except the current paragraph. Holds the active line centred while you draft so your eyes stay still.
trove · Sprints
Sprints
Set a target word-count and a clock. Trove tracks the run, surfaces the streak, and never sends a notification you did not ask for.
trove · Snapshots
Snapshots
A versioned history for every scene. Restore a paragraph from yesterday morning, or compare two drafts side by side.
Manuscript structure
Three ways to see the same book.
Manuscript Tree, Folio, Board. The files on disk stay the same — only the view changes. Pick the lens that fits what you are doing.
trove · Folio
Folio
Renders a folder of Documents as one continuous read. The closest thing to a printed manuscript on screen.
trove · Board
Board
Scene cards on a board. Drag to reorder, switch to outline, or flip to a POV-lane timeline.
trove · Outline
Outline
Synopses, statuses, and word counts in a scannable table. Rearrange rows, bulk-set POV, track draft progress across every scene at once.
trove · Timeline by POV
Timeline by POV
Plot scenes against story-time. Each POV character gets their own lane — drag events, spot the gap before a beta reader does.
trove · Timeline by arc
Timeline by arc
Switch to Arc grouping and see each plot arc as its own lane. Track how Ben's arc, Monty's arc, and the conspiracy weave across story-time.
trove · Arcs
Arcs
Name an arc, add scenes in the order they belong to it. Independent of folder order — the same scene can live in multiple arcs.
trove · Time
Time
Give your world its own calendar — invented months, eras, landmark events. Date a scene "Highsun 4, 611" and the timeline puts it in order.
Codex
A codex that holds together.
Typed Entities and Relationships in one Codex that links across manuscripts. Build a world once, reuse it as long as you write in it.
trove · Codex
Codex
A single Codex across every Manuscript that shares it. Characters, factions, locations, magic systems — all in one place.
trove · Entities
Entities
Custom types with their own fields, icons, and colours. A character has POV and arc; a location has region and climate.
trove · Relationship map
Relationship map
Typed Relationships visualised as a graph. Mention any Entity in the editor and an Appears-in panel tracks every reference.
trove · Reference graph
Reference graph
Type [[ to link a scene to a character, a note to a scene. One graph shows every connection in the library — and renaming never breaks a link.
trove · World
World
Lore, history, magic systems — the long-form world notes that sit alongside your manuscript without crowding it.
trove · Cast
Cast
A reference page for every character in the Codex. Filter by POV, faction, or status — paste in a portrait if you keep one.
trove · Maps
Maps
Drop your map in, pin your places on it. A pin links straight to the location entity, so the geography and the codex stay one thing.
trove · Family tree
Family tree
Mark who is whose parent, child, or spouse, and Trove draws the pedigree. Opens from any character — useful when the dynasty gets complicated.
Craft tools
Built for the long-form.
Templates, compile, palette, inspector. The boring infrastructure of finishing a novel, done well.
trove · Templates
Templates
Start from a story shape — hero’s journey, three-act, romance beats, your own. Save your own templates per Manuscript.
trove · Compile
Compile
Any folder, file, or selection to DOCX, EPUB, PDF, or Markdown. Real chapter numbering, real scene breaks, real submission output.
trove · Command palette
Command palette
Cmd-K opens every action — switch view, jump to scene, run a sprint, compile a draft. Keyboard-first by design.
trove · Inspector
Inspector
Scene status, POV, word target, notes — everything about the current document on one panel without leaving the page.
trove · Tome
Tome
Your everything-else notebook. Research, ideas, half-thoughts — searchable, linkable, never lost in a desktop folder.
trove · Read aloud
Read aloud
Hear your chapter read back in a natural British voice. The narration is generated on your machine — offline, nothing uploaded.
trove · Canvas
Canvas
A freeform board for the messy middle of plotting. Pin characters next to sticky notes, draw the threads between them, mark the one that matters.
Phone & iPad
The whole app, on every device you own.
Not a stripped-down companion. The editor, the Codex, the board, the command palette — built for touch, on macOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and iPad.
Phone editor
The real editor on the phone screen. Typewriter scroll, focus mode, scene navigation — same files as the laptop.
Codex on phone
Your characters, places, and lore in your pocket. Check a detail mid-scene without leaving the sofa.
Phone Board
Scene cards on the phone screen. Drag, reorder, switch views — the same Board you use on the laptop.
Phone manuscript tree
The Manuscript Tree, on a touch surface. Long-press to reorder, swipe a Document to set its status.
Library
Every Manuscript, every Codex, every Tome — one screen, one tap to open.
Mobile palette
The command palette, finger-friendly. Same actions, same fuzzy search, full keyboard support when you pair one.
Tome on phone
Research and notes on the go. Plain Markdown, encrypted on the device, ready when you next open the laptop.
Settings
Sync, encryption, licence, theme. Every setting from the desktop, sized for a touch screen.
iPad editor
Landscape layout with the persistent manuscript tree. Pair a keyboard for full keyboard shortcuts; revise on the sofa otherwise.
iPad Folio
Continuous-scroll reading on the iPad. The closest thing to a printed proof you carry with you.
Setup
Ready in under a minute.
Pick a folder, pick your typography, write. Your licence is a pasted key, restored from an email — nothing else to configure before you start.
trove · Onboarding
Onboarding
A one-screen start: pick a folder for your Manuscripts, set your typography, write. No account, no email, no wait.
trove · Settings
Settings
Theme, typography, telemetry. Every Trove setting on one page, plain prose, no dark patterns.
trove · Licence
Licence
A pay-once licence, restored from an emailed key. Trove keeps working if our servers ever stop.
Optional add-on
Trove Guild.
The only part of Trove that touches a server, and only once you turn it on. Encrypted sync between the devices you own — nothing shared with anyone else.
Sync
Same library, every device.
Pair a device with a one-time code. Everything that travels — Manuscripts, Codexes, drafts, Tome notes — is encrypted on your machine first. We can show you a bill. We cannot read a sentence.
trove · Paired devices
Paired devices
A device list you control. Add a laptop, remove a phone, see when each one last synced.
Guild + community
Trove Society.
Where the other writers are. Private Circles, direct messages, shared sprints — and Guild's sync included underneath, so Society is one subscription rather than two.
Circles
A writing group that respects the work.
Small, private groups. Share an Excerpt for honest critique, run a group sprint, find a Circle in Discover. Your manuscript stays on your machine — only what you choose to post ever leaves it.
trove · Circles
Circles
Threaded comments on a posted Excerpt, sprint goals, sharable challenges — encrypted to the group, invisible to us.
trove · Discover
Discover
Listed Circles you can apply to join. Genre, language, cadence — pick a group that fits how you write.
trove · Direct messages
Direct messages
1:1 encrypted threads between writers. First message from a new contact lands in Requests so nothing arrives unannounced.
trove · Dashboard
Dashboard
Today’s words, the active sprint, last-touched scenes, Circle notifications — the one screen you open before you start.
Ready when you are
A pay-once licence. Yours to keep.
One purchase covers every desktop, every phone, every iPad you own. Trove keeps working if our servers ever stop.
