Write
A clean editor with acts, chapters, and scenes. Rich text that saves as Markdown. Auto-save with word counts. Status labels so you always know where you stand.
For fiction authors who own their craft
Penflow is a writing app built on a simple idea: your novel should live in your own private GitHub repository, as plain Markdown you can edit anywhere. No lock-in. No black box. Just you, your words, and version control that actually makes sense.

The alternative
What you get
A clean editor with acts, chapters, and scenes. Rich text that saves as Markdown. Auto-save with word counts. Status labels so you always know where you stand.
Your story bible. Characters, locations, items, lore. Custom fields, tags, and relations. Link entries to scenes with @mentions so your world stays consistent.
A visual grid of chapters and scenes. Drag to reorder. Color-coded status at a glance. Click any card to jump straight into writing.
One click commits your entire novel to your own private repo. Every scene becomes a Markdown file with YAML front matter. Your manuscript is yours forever, diffable and cloneable.

Link your GitHub account once. Penflow creates a private repo for each novel.
Draft scenes, build your Codex, rearrange chapters. Everything saves to Base44 as your working copy.
Hit Commit to push a full Markdown snapshot to your repo. Edit offline, then Pull to sync changes back.
