No. The creation studio, PDF exports, editable backups, and Field Kit are free. Optional support helps Astralith Forgeworks keep building these tools.
Creating or editing a project starts automatic saving in this browser on this device. Your shelf can hold up to 40 projects, including archived work. The save indicator tells you whether your latest changes were saved. Other people using this browser may be able to see those projects.
Browser data can be cleared or become unavailable. Download an editable backup for anything you want to keep. Projects do not automatically synchronize through an account.

Your title, optional byline and introduction, the sections you write, and your notes. Choose parchment or manuscript styling and check the Preview tab.
