FAQ
Where your files live, sync, export, offline use, pricing, and system requirements.
Every book is a single Everwrite document on your Mac - a standard macOS document package you can open in Finder anytime. Inside, each scene is a plain Markdown (.md) file, kept next to the project outline, your local Story Bible database, the board, your notes, named versions, and a trash folder. Automatic rotating backups are kept separately in the app's local storage. Nothing is stored in a proprietary format you can't read.
Everwrite has no cloud of its own and never uploads your manuscript - there's no account and no Everwrite server. Because each book is a standard macOS document written with macOS file coordination, you can keep it in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or any folder you already sync and edit it across your Macs. If you want a cloud, it's yours, not ours.
Everwrite exports a Standard Manuscript Format .docx (the layout agents and editors expect), a reflowable EPUB 3, and a manuscript-format PDF. Export the whole book or just selected chapters. And because every scene is already a plain Markdown file inside the document, your raw text is always yours to take elsewhere.
Completely. The editor, your documents, search, named versions, backups, the Story Bible, voice dictation, the name generator, and the on-device continuity AI all run on your Mac with no internet connection. Nothing is sent anywhere, and Everwrite includes no analytics or trackers.
Everwrite is a single $19.99 purchase on the Mac App Store - no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account. There's no separate free trial; instead the app comes with a ready-made demo book so you can try the full workflow right away. Refunds are handled by Apple through the standard App Store refund request, the same as any Mac App Store app.
The continuity AI and name generator run on Apple's on-device foundation models, part of Apple Intelligence - so there's nothing for Everwrite to download and no API key to add. The first time you turn on Apple Intelligence in System Settings, macOS downloads the model once in the background (a few gigabytes, provided by Apple, not us). While it's preparing, those two features stay quietly paused and switch on by themselves the moment the model is ready - the rest of Everwrite works immediately. The model lives on your Mac, so once it's there everything keeps running offline and nothing is ever sent away. New to Apple Intelligence? Here's how to turn it on and download the model.
Everwrite runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 or later) with macOS 26.2 or newer; Intel Macs are not supported. The core writing app - editor, binder, Story Bible, goals, versions, backups, board, and export - works on any supported Mac. The continuity AI and name generator use Apple Intelligence, and voice dictation downloads a small on-device speech model the first time you use it.
