Inkbound is a browser-based writing app for novelists: chapters with characters and world-building in one place: a Codex. What's different: Inkbound's AI reads your manuscript and auto-extracts characters and world elements as you write, so your Codex builds itself. A built-in style assistant also flags repetitions and weak verbs in real time, fully client-side. + AI voice dictation. But No AI Writing. Free for one project. Premium for AI is a single $20 payment, never a subscription.
