What it is
Native desktop all-in-one for long-form fiction: Scrivener-like binder, codex, timeline and research plus Vellum-like print PDF and multi-store EPUB export from one offline app, with direct Scrivener project import. One licence covers Windows, Mac, and Linux. Honest caveats: newer than Atticus or Vellum, so verify export quality for your genre and imprint before you commit a whole series; if you only need browser formatting (not a drafting suite), FormatReady is a cheaper formatter-only alternative at £1.99 founder.
Pricing model
Paid — $197 one-time (Windows, Mac, Linux); every update included; site claims 30-day no-questions refund — confirm on deckle.studio. Always confirm on the vendor site before buying; plans change.
