Know your story.
At every scene.
Scriptri helps fiction writers track what characters know, feel, believe, reveal, and resolve, scene by scene.
Scriptri does not decide what matters. You tag entities, write notes, and Scriptri carries that context forward.
Local-first beta. No account required.
At This Point shows what is true before or after the selected scene.
Long manuscripts drift.
Characters know things at different times. A secret revealed in Chapter 8 cannot appear in Chapter 4. An injury from Tuesday must still be present on Wednesday unless it was treated.
Relationships shift. Objects get lost, passed, or destroyed. Unresolved concerns quietly pile up until a beta reader finds them all at once.
Notes apps and wikis describe your world. They are timeless. Scriptri is scene-aware. It tracks what is true at each point in the narrative, not just in general.
How it works
Tag who or what matters
Highlight a character, place, object, or concept in your scene and attach it to an entity.
Write the state change
Add a short note for what changed in this scene: what someone learned, believed, felt, or how a relationship shifted.
See what's true at any point
Open any later scene and Scriptri shows the relevant notes carried forward to that moment.
The Scriptri workflow
Manuscript import
Import DOCX or Markdown and split into scenes by headings or separator lines. Scrivener import is also supported.
Entity chips
Tag characters, places, objects, and concepts directly in the scene text.
Add notes
Write short notes for what changes in a scene: knowledge, beliefs, emotions, relationships, and continuity concerns.
At This Point
See what is true before or after the selected scene, based on the notes you created.
Continuity flags
Mark open continuity concerns, then resolve them when the story catches up.
Local backups / export
Keep local snapshots and export your full project to JSON whenever you want.
Your manuscript stays on your device.
Scriptri does not upload your manuscript, scenes, or notes during local beta. Your project data is stored in your browser storage (IndexedDB), on this device, under your control.
Export your project to JSON regularly. Local backups help recover from mistakes, but browser storage is not guaranteed to persist across updates, device wipes, or data-clearing actions. Keep a copy somewhere safe.
A future hosted version may offer optional cloud sync. It will be opt-in.
Early beta.
Scriptri is in active development. Bugs are possible. Features will change. Export regularly as a precaution.
The beta is free. Pricing after the beta period has not been decided. Any future paid version will be announced to current users well in advance. If you are using Scriptri now, you will not be surprised.

Frequently asked questions
What is Scriptri?
Scriptri is a fiction continuity tracker for novelists and fiction writers. It helps you build a living story bible around your manuscript, tracking what characters know, believe, carry, reveal, and resolve, scene by scene.
Is it a writing app?
Not primarily. Scriptri is a continuity layer for your manuscript. You can write in Word, Scrivener, Google Docs, or anywhere you prefer, then use Scriptri to track what is true at each point in the story.
Is it an AI writing tool?
No. Scriptri does not generate prose or replace your judgment. The current beta is a structured tracking tool built around your own notes.
Is it a Scrivener replacement?
No. Scriptri is meant to work alongside tools like Scrivener, not replace them. Scrivener remains your drafting and project organization tool; Scriptri focuses on manuscript-linked continuity: what changed, who knows what, and what is true at each scene.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser storage, using IndexedDB, on this device. Your project files never leave your device during the local beta.
Can I export my data?
Yes. Every project can be exported to a JSON file from the project screen. You can re-import it on another device or keep it as a backup.
What happens if I clear browser data?
Your projects will be deleted. Export your data regularly and keep a copy somewhere safe. Local backups inside the app help with accidental changes, but they live in the same browser and are not a substitute for an external backup.
Does it support DOCX, Markdown, or Scrivener import?
Yes. Scriptri can import DOCX, Markdown, and plain text, with options for splitting by headings, separators, or whole document. It can also import a zipped Scrivener project and later refresh matching scenes when you upload an updated Scrivener zip.
Is it free?
Scriptri is free during beta. Pricing after the beta period has not been determined. Current users will be notified well in advance of any change.
Will there be cloud sync?
Not during the local beta. Cloud sync is on the long-term roadmap, but it is not scheduled or priced yet.
Does Scriptri read or track my manuscript?
No. Scriptri does not collect manuscript text, scene text, note content, entity names, project names, imported file contents, file names, Scrivener file contents, or Scrivener document titles. Your writing stays on your device. During the open beta, Scriptri collects anonymous usage events — for example, that a project was created or that the import feature was used — without any content. No names, no text, no file names.
Scriptri is free during beta. If it helps your writing and you want to support development, you can support development.
