Features
Everything your story needs, nothing it doesn't.
No word counts, no distractions, no kitchen sink. Just a canvas and the tools to think a narrative through.
Ten kinds of cards
Scenes, characters, locations, timelines, lists, notes, images, links and more. Every piece of your story gets the right container.
Threads with meaning
Connect any two cards and label the line. Who betrays whom, what happens where. Your plot logic, visible at a glance.
fablebot, your co-plotter
An AI assistant that reads your whole board. Ask it to find plot holes, suggest twists, or pressure-test a character arc.
Saved while you think
Every move is auto-saved in the background within seconds. Close the tab mid-thought and your board will be exactly where you left it.
One board per story
Keep novels, shorts and screenplays in separate boards, organized in folders. Switch projects without losing the plot.
How it works
From a pile of notes to a plot that holds.
01
Empty your head
Drop every character, scene fragment and half-idea onto the canvas as cards. Messy is fine. Messy is the point.
02
Draw the threads
Connect cards and name each relationship. Allies, betrayals, cause and effect. The structure hiding in your notes becomes visible.
03
Find the shape
Rearrange until the story clicks. Spot the missing beat in act two, the character who never pays off, the thread you forgot to cut.
