Read your book on your phone, check the story bible as of your page, and capture ideas by voice or photo. You write every word. The AI never writes your book. You write. Your story remembers. Journzy is your book in your pocket. Read your manuscript on the phone, check the story bible as of the page you are on, capture an idea before it goes, and decide on the notes Journzy has left for you. You write the book in Journzy on the web. The app never writes manuscript text, and the AI never writes your book. You write every word. Journzy on the phone is the companion of the Journzy writing studio on the web, for novelists and other writers of fiction working on a novel. It keeps the characters, the places and the world of your novel close while you read, so the story keeps its continuity from chapter to chapter. For writers, that continuity is part of the craft of fiction, and this worldbuilding stays with the manuscript wherever you take it. Read your book • Your projects and books, with the place where you stopped. • Download a book and read it with no connection. • Pages or Scroll, Paper, Sepia or Night, and the text size you prefer. • Contents, a jump to any chapter, and search within the book. • The position code in the top bar shows the book, the chapter and the scene. Comments and highlights • Select a passage to comment on it or highlight it. • The comments are the same as on the web: reply, resolve, reopen. • What you write with no connection is sent once, when you are back online. The story bible, as of your page • Tap a name in the text to open its bible entry as it stands on that page. Facts from later chapters stay out of sight. • Browse the characters, places, world entries and relationships in the story bible, with the worldbuilding behind them. • The bible is also on the phone, so it works with no connection. Capture • Write a note, take a photo or record a voice note. • A voice note is transcribed on your phone, and the recording never leaves your phone. Only the text of the note goes to Journzy. • Share a link or a photo from another app into Journzy. • New captures go to the inbox, and Journzy on the web shows them with your references. Talk and Tavern • Talk with a character or with the story, at a point in the book you choose. • Tavern brings several characters into one conversation. Use "Who answers" to choose, or "Let them continue" to let them carry on. • Choose "Pin as idea", "Save as note" or "Flag as spoiler" for a reply. • Every reply is marked as an AI answer and has "Report this reply". • Before the first AI request on a phone, a notice says where the text goes, and nothing is sent until you agree. Notes • The notes Journzy's checks have left on your book help guard continuity: contradictions with the story bible, and what needs a fix. • Filter by Needs you, Must fix or Contradictions. • Decide in the same words as on the web: Keep as written, Not a problem, Not now. You make each fix yourself, in the text, on the web. Your account and your data • The app is in English and Spanish. • Delete your account in the app. • Usage statistics and crash reports stay off until you switch them on. • Talk and Tavern belong to the Author plan of a Journzy account. Journzy is for novelists and writers of fiction who write every word themselves and want their novel to stay consistent, their characters true to the story bible and their worldbuilding without slips: eyes that change color, a house that gains a floor.
