Write in peace
Versions at your back
One connected process

You should be writing. Not moving text between five apps.

Wriwo follows the work from the first find to the finished manuscript, so ideas and sources stay connected to the text.

Write

Write in peace with your research at hand, versions at your back and AI on your terms.

The writing canvas
Research you can actually use

All your material. Still connected.

A source is only valuable when you can find it again and use it in the text. Wriwo makes links, files, audio and notes searchable and ties them to the document you're working on.

Save articles and videos with the Chrome extension – or send them in by email
Transcribe interviews and record audio right in the browser
Search by both keyword and meaning (semantic search)
Ask your "second brain" and get answers with source citations
Research and notes – searchable and connected to the text
Planning without a straitjacket

See the whole before you get lost in the detail.

Build chapters, scenes and arguments visually. Start from one of 13 narrative models or create your own structure. Everything on the board can link straight to the manuscript.

Why Wriwo exists

Built by someone who writes long-form themselves.

Wriwo isn't just another word processor with AI bolted on. It's built from the inside – out of the need to keep a big writing project together, calm and under your own control, from the first source to the last period.

Andreas Skadhede, founder of Wriwo

When I'd had enough of writing apps

Every time a writing project got long enough, the same thing happened: I lost the overview. Research lived in browser tabs, notes were scattered across documents and voice memos, and the manuscript itself led its own life in version 12, 17 and 24.

In the end, as much energy went into keeping the pile in order as into writing. Wriwo is the tool I've missed for 20 years.

– Andreas Skadhede, journalist, author and founder of Wriwo

Questions & answers

What you're probably wondering

What does it cost, and how does the trial work?

You start with a seven-day free trial, no credit card. After that you pick a plan from $10/mo – no commitment, cancel anytime.

Can I bring my existing documents in?

Yes. Drag in your Word, EPUB or Markdown file (or import from Google Docs), and it's automatically split into sections and chapters at the headings.

Does the AI cost extra?

Every plan includes a set number of AI calls per month. If you want more, you can add your own API key and pay the provider directly.

Can I get my work back out?

Always. Export to EPUB, Word or PDF – including all your research. Your work is yours.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Wriwo works in the browser and as an app on iPhone and Android – the same project on all your screens.

How secure is my data?

Everything is isolated per account, and you can lock sensitive material behind a PIN. You can always export and take everything with you.
