The Room is a single-purpose editor. No social feed. No co-writer. No popup suggesting you finish your sentence with the most predictable word in the English language. Just a clean page, a chapter tree, and your characters in the margin.
Mute mode
The signature feature. Press ⌘. (Cmd + period) or click Mute in the top bar. The chapter tree, the character notes, the top bar, the bottom bar — gone. The browser also goes fullscreen, so the dock and tabs go too. Just the page and the cursor. Press Esc to come back.
Mute everything else and just write.
Local-first
Every keystroke saves to your browser’s local storage immediately. Your manuscript is on your machine, not on a server you don’t control. Mute mode, snapshots, focus modes, and exports all work offline.
One honest warning. Right now your manuscript lives in this browser only — clearing browsing data, switching browsers, or Private mode will lose anything you haven’t exported. Cloud sync (where signing in writes a backup copy to our server) ships with the backend. Until then: export weekly with the Download button — you’ll get a clean .docx, .md, or plain text file you fully own.
Export anywhere
One-click export to Markdown and plain text today. EPUB and DOCX are next on the list. We don’t hold your words hostage — if DraftFolk shuts down, you walk away with your manuscript as a clean text file you can open anywhere.
Chapters, scenes, and a tree that gets out of the way
Drag-reorder. Two-digit padded chapter numbers (so 01 sorts before 10). Italic for outlines and drafts; upright for finished. Click a scene, you’re in it. Word counts per scene, per chapter, per manuscript — but they’re small, in the margin. Not the point.
Character notes that pin to the writing
A right-side panel for character cards (avatar, role, age, traits) and pinned snippets — that line of dialogue you keep wanting to reference, the saying her father gave her. Always visible while you write the scene.
