Everything Bunsho does, and how to use it
A manuscript editor for long stories, with a planner beside it and a continuity check you run when you want one. Start with what you need, and come back for the rest.
Write
The editor
A binder, a clean page, and focus mode. Writing is never metered and needs no account.
Planner
A card for every chapter, on a grid or on tracks that follow one character's storyline.
Import and export
Bring a draft in from Word, Markdown, plain text, or Fountain, and take it out again as .docx any time.
Local-first
Your manuscript is plain files in a folder you choose, on your own machine.
Keep the story straight
Continuity
Check a chapter, the changes since your last pass, or the whole book, when you ask.
World
Every character, place, and object your story has established, each tied to the sentence that said so.
Plot hole checker
Each finding shows the two passages that disagree, side by side, with the chapters they came from. You decide what to fix.
