Getting started
Basic sequence to create a project and start writing.
Download and install Inkthar on macOS or Windows. Once opened, the app is ready to use with no sign-up required.
Create a new book: in “Projects,” click “New book.” Name it, choose the language, and optionally define genre, goal, and deadline.
Structure the project: add chapters and, when needed, scenes inside them. Reorder by dragging. If you prefer planning by arcs, use the Acts Board.
Start writing: open a chapter in the editor. Autosave protects the work, and word count, reading time, and pacing update in real time.
Use research and entities: save links, notes, images, and PDFs, keep a catalog of characters, places, and items, and, if you want assisted features, open Settings → AI to choose a provider, model, and API key before your first assisted search.
View the whole book: in “Compiled,” switch between continuous reading, paged view, and raw Markdown depending on the review stage.
