Know your story.
At every scene.
Track what your characters know, where things are, what changed, and what still needs review, scene by scene.
Scriptri keeps your story memory close while you write, review, sync source changes, and look up the details you already established.
Local-first beta. No account required.
At This Point brings your notes and story context to 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 connects project memory to scenes, story time, locations, and source changes, so you can review what is true at each point in the narrative, not just in general.
How it works
Start with scenes
Create scenes, import a manuscript, or connect a Scrivener project for read-only source review in supported browsers.
Record what matters
Tag entities and add notes about knowledge, beliefs, relationships, locations, and other changes in the story.
Review the story's memory
Use At This Point and focused workspaces to check context, research questions, and review details that need attention.
The Scriptri workflow
Workspaces for writing, entities, timelines, locations, source review, investigations, and audit keep different kinds of story work together. Quick Reference and the Glossary keep names, facts, passages, and project terms close when you need them.
Manuscript and source review
Import common manuscript formats or connect Scrivener for conservative, read-only review of source changes.
Entities and state notes
Tag characters, places, objects, and concepts, then record what changes for them scene by scene.
State notes
Record knowledge, beliefs, emotions, relationships, and continuity concerns at the scene where they change.
Quick Reference and Glossary
Look up names, aliases, terms, notes, and scene text without leaving the workspace you are in.
Continuity flags and Audit
Mark unresolved concerns, then use the Audit workspace to review existing project work that needs attention.
Local backups and export
Keep local snapshots and export your full project to JSON whenever you want an external copy.
Your manuscript stays on your device.
Scriptri is local-first. Project data is stored in your browser storage (IndexedDB), on this device, under your control. The beta is free and does not require an account.
Manuscript text, scene titles, notes, entity names, search text, and imported file names are not sent to analytics. Scriptri does not train on your manuscript and currently has no AI integration.
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.
Scriptri 0.2 is in 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 local-first story memory workspace for fiction writers. It helps you track continuity, source changes, and reference details around a manuscript: what characters know, believe, carry, reveal, and resolve at different points in the story.
Is it a writing app?
It includes a scene editor, but Scriptri is primarily a story memory and continuity workspace. You can keep drafting in Word, Scrivener, Google Docs, or another tool and use Scriptri to review what is true at each point in the story.
Is it an AI writing tool?
No. Scriptri currently has no AI integration, does not generate prose, and does not train on manuscript content. It organizes records and evidence you create; you remain the source of truth.
Is it a Scrivener replacement?
No. Scriptri works alongside Scrivener. In supported browsers it can read a connected Scrivener project, watch for changes while Scriptri is open, and ask you to review ambiguous updates. It never writes back to Scrivener.
Where is my data stored?
In your browser storage, using IndexedDB, on this device. In the current local-first beta, your project data stays on your device unless you export it yourself.
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, plain text, EPUB, and zipped Scrivener projects. In supported browsers, it can also connect to a Scrivener project folder for read-only change monitoring and a review queue. Basic Scrivener RTF formatting is preserved where supported.
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?
There is no cloud sync today and no promised release date for it. Scriptri is local-first, and the free, no-account path remains part of the product direction.
Does Scriptri read or track my manuscript?
Your project data stays on your device. Scriptri does not send manuscript text, scene titles, notes, entity names, search text, imported file names, or Scrivener content to analytics. During beta it may collect anonymous feature-use events without the content of your writing.
