Edda - Authors Bible
Write and build your world
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Edda is a writing app for novelists, screenwriters and worldbuilders. Plan your story, build your world and write the book, all in one place, on your iPhone and iPad.
WRITE
- A calm, focused editor for every scene, with word counts, reading time and reading level as you go
- Parts, chapters and scenes you can reorder, with cards, an outline and a corkboard
- Dictation, so you can speak a scene instead of typing it
- Writing goals and sprints to keep you moving
BUILD YOUR WORLD
- Characters with roles, backstories, goals, flaws and two-way relationships
- Locations, maps with regions and routes, and family trees
- Timelines with eras, and custom calendars with your own months, moons and holidays
- Articles for history, magic systems, religions and anything else your world needs
PLOT
- Story structure templates and beat sheets, with a timeline of how your story rises and falls
- Continuity notes and tags so nothing slips
MORE THAN NOVELS
Screenplays, sitcom scripts, stage plays, audio dramas, podcasts, comics, interactive stories, picture books, poetry and song lyrics, each with its own layout.
EDIT WITH THE SKALD
The Skald reads your chapter and flags long sentences, repeated words, filler and passive voice, with Flesch, Fog and SMOG readability scores. It is rule-based and runs on your device. No AI, ever.
YOUR WORDS STAY YOURS
Your projects live on your device and Edda works offline. There is no account to create, no tracking and no AI training on your writing. Export to Word, EPUB and PDF whenever you like.
TRY IT FREE
Every feature is free for 30 days. To keep writing after that, buy a lifetime license key for iPhone and iPad at edda.ink. Pay once, no subscription, free updates.
Edda is also available for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Moving pictures, and campaigns that reach across your series.
- Maps, portraits and gallery images can be looping .mp4 or .webm videos (use .mp4 on iPhone and iPad): an animated map, a moving portrait or token, a living location scene. Lists show a still frame.
- In a series that shares its worldbuilding, a campaign's factions, facts and session prep can pick the characters, places and articles from the other books, grouped under each book's name.
- Secrets and GM notes look the same everywhere: the red GM-only box on Factions, Facts, Sessions, Characters and Places.
- The buttons under a trope in the Trope Bible no longer run together in longer languages such as Italian.
- Thank you again to the community member testing Edda for their campaign.
