Your outline shouldn't disappear when you start writing. Kindling is a desktop writing app that keeps your scene beats, character notes, and story structure visible while you draft.
Be the first to know when Kindling launches.
Stop switching between apps. Kindling brings your planning and drafting into one focused space.
Your scene beats and chapter notes stay visible in a side panel while you write. No more flipping between documents.
Quick-reference cards for your characters. Names, traits, arcs, and relationships exactly when you need them.
Work the way you think. Drag scenes, nest chapters, and reorganize your story without losing your prose.
A native app that works offline, respects your privacy, and keeps your manuscripts on your own machine.
When you're in the zone, fade everything away. Just you, your words, and the beat you're writing toward.
Export to Markdown, .docx, or plain text. Your work stays portable and future-proof.
If you've ever felt the frustration of building a detailed outline only to lose sight of it when drafting, Kindling is for you. It's the bridge between planning and prose that other writing apps leave out.
