Pricing questions, answered

Is it really a one-time purchase?

Yes. You pay once (founder price $29 USD — regular price will be $49) and Writers Nook is yours to keep — no recurring fee, no expiry. It's not a trial or a lease.

Is there a subscription for device sync?

Not yet. Device Sync is on the roadmap — planned at around $5/month when it ships. Today, you can point Writers Nook at your own Dropbox or OneDrive folder for free off-site backup right now.

How does Device Sync work?

Your changes travel between your devices through our relay, end-to-end encrypted. The relay forwards updates and never stores your writing — we cannot read it, and nothing of your manuscript exists on our servers. It's not available yet — the free Dropbox/OneDrive option covers the backup need in the meantime.

Can I write completely offline?

Always. Writers Nook is local-first — your manuscript lives as real files on your own machine, in an open format, and never needs an internet connection to open or edit.

Which platforms are supported?

macOS and Windows today. Your one-time purchase covers installing on all the computers you personally use.

Do updates cost extra?

Updates within the version you buy are free. If we ever ship a major new version, it'll be a separate, optional upgrade — never a forced subscription.

What if it's not for me?

There's a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Writers Nook isn't the quiet room you hoped for, email us and we'll refund you.
