Your story.
Your words.
Ravenburst is a desktop writing studio for novelists, screenwriters and playwrights. Plan it, write it, and export it ready to submit, print or publish — all from one place, with no subscription and no account.
Why Ravenburst
Your whole book in one file
Parts, chapters and scenes alongside your characters, places, notes, research tables, front and back matter. One .ravenburst file you can copy, back up and take anywhere.
See the shape of the story
Rearrange scenes on the corkboard, scan them in outline, or write in one document while reading another in split view or a second window.
Never lose a word
Named snapshots of any document, and automatic Git backup every 30 minutes and whenever you quit. Restore an earlier version without leaving the app.
Built to stay out of your way.
No autocorrect rewriting your character names. No autocomplete guessing your next word. No feed, no account, no cloud you have to trust. Ravenburst works offline, keeps everything in a file on your own computer, and puts the writing first — with fullscreen composition mode for when you want nothing else on screen.
One project. Every format.
Compile your manuscript for an agent, a printer, a stage or an e-reader without reformatting a thing.
