Your book in your pocket

Journzy on the phone is the companion to Journzy, the writing studio on the web, for iPhone and Android. You write your book in Journzy on the web, in a browser on a computer. The app never writes manuscript text, and the AI never writes your book. You write every word.

What the phone is for

Journzy on the phone is the companion of the writing studio, not a second place to write. On the phone you read your book, comment and highlight, open the story bible, capture notes, photos and voice notes, and review notes from checks. Writing the manuscript stays in Journzy on the web, where your books, story bible, comments and notes are the same.

Read your book on the phone

  • Your projects and books, with the place where you stopped.
  • Download a book and read it with no connection.
  • Pages or Scroll, Paper, Sepia or Night, and your text size.
  • Contents, a jump to any chapter, and search within the book.

Comments and highlights in your hand

Select a passage to comment on it or highlight it. Comments are the same as on the web, so you can reply, resolve and reopen each one. If you write with no connection, what you write is sent once when you are back online.

The story bible as of your page

Tap a name in the text to open its story bible entry as it stands on that page. Facts from later chapters stay out of sight, so rereading brings no spoilers of your own book. You can also browse characters, places, world entries and relationships. The story bible is on the phone too, so it works with no connection.

  • Comment screen titled Comment on this text, with the quoted word “quay”, the comment “Check the tide times here.”, Cancel and Comment buttons, and the phone keyboard.
    Select a passage and leave a comment for your next session on the web.
  • Story bible screen as of B1 · C12 · S1, with search, filters Characters 10, Places 8, World 3 and Relationships 20, and Inés Ferrer with 23 scenes, Diego Lamas and Martín Ruiz.
    Browse characters, places, world entries and relationships offline.
  • Notes screen for The Last Tide, with filters All, Needs you 12, Since last session and Must fix 11, and cards Contradiction · Inés Ferrer · Must fix, each with an explanation and a quoted line.
    Decide on a note on the phone: Keep as written, Not a problem, Not now.

Capture an idea wherever it comes

Write a note, take a photo or record a voice note. A voice note is transcribed on your phone. The recording never leaves your phone. Only the text of the note goes to Journzy. You can also share a link or a photo from another app into Journzy. New captures go to the inbox, and Journzy on the web shows them with your references.

Talk and Tavern with your characters

Talk lets you talk with a character or with the story, at a point in the book you choose. Tavern brings several characters into one conversation. Every reply is marked as an AI answer and can be reported. Before the first AI request on a phone, a notice says where the text goes, and nothing is sent until you agree. Talk and Tavern belong to the Author plan.

Notes from the checks on your book

Notes holds the notes that Journzy checks have left on your book, with contradictions with the story bible and what needs a fix. Filter by Needs you, Must fix and Contradictions, then decide in the same words as on the web: Keep as written, Not a problem or Not now. You make each fix yourself, in the text, on the web.
