Welcome to ListoInk ✨

ListoInk is a writing app built for long texts: novels, theses, scripts, notes. It’s fast, it works offline and it comes with an AI assistant you control. This is everything we built on the way to the first version.

📍 Open the app at listoink.com. Install it on your computer or phone and it works even without internet.

🌟 Highlights

  • Your AI, your way. Connect your OpenRouter account in one click (the key is created for you) and choose any model, with prices shown and your favourites at the top. Your key stays on your device only.

  • Dictation. Speak, and your words appear in the document or in your request to the AI.

  • Time machine. ListoInk saves versions of your document automatically: when you open it and every 10 minutes while you write. See what changed, name your versions and go back at any time without losing the current one.

  • Writing goals. Set words per day or a total by a deadline, with rest days and holidays. Confetti when you hit your goal 🎉

  • Huge books, no slowdown. Split your text into sections with icons and colours (over 3,000 icons). Tested with books of up to 500,000 words.

  • Works offline and installs like an app. Only the AI needs a connection.

  • Speaks your language: English, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Spanish and French.

🆕 New features

  • Sections: organise chapters and scenes in a tree. Drag and duplicate sections; every document has its own Notes and Trash.

  • Side-by-side sections: open your Notes or another section in the right panel while you write.

  • Ideas and notes: an ideas list on the home screen and a notes tab in every document.

  • Track changes: edits by you and by the AI are marked. Accept or reject them one by one, or all at once.

  • Comments in the margin, with replies (shortcut: Ctrl/⌘+Alt+M).

  • AI conversations saved per document. Search them and pick up where you left off. You can also choose whether the AI reads the whole document or only the current section, and switch between response profiles.

  • Find and replace, which also matches words without accents.

  • The “/” menu inserts dates, the time, headings, lists, quotes and dividers.

  • Highlight text in yellow and other colours, and add links from the formatting bar.

  • Collapse headings and lists to hide what you’re not working on.

  • Drag paragraphs by the handle on the left.

  • Light and dark themes in several colours, plus a style for each document: font (including OpenDyslexic) and size.

  • An icon and colour for each document.

  • Export to Word, PDF, ODT, EPUB, Markdown, HTML and plain text, including straight from the document list.

  • Archive and trash. Deleted documents stay in the trash for 60 days.

  • Activity map of your past year and stats: words, pages and reading time.

  • The ListoInk Guide: a hands-on tutorial document where you can experiment freely.

  • Navigation designed for phones (mobile).

🛠️ Improvements

  • Typing, selecting, and scrolling stay smooth even in very long documents.

  • Large books open almost instantly.

  • When you reopen a document, you’re back at the paragraph you were reading.

  • The line you’re typing on always stays in view.

  • Quotes and brackets close themselves and wrap around selected text. Quotes curl automatically, in the style of each language.

  • The document list has date columns you can sort, and each document’s actions sit in a ⋯ menu.

  • The top bar is tidy, and the info menu brings together the version, what’s new, and the service status.

  • When a new version is out, an “Update” button appears, and you never lose what you’re typing.

  • Each section holds up to 10,000 words, so everything stays fast. You’ll get a heads-up at 9,000.

  • Your document’s Trash is never sent to the AI.

  • The selection bar stays just above the keyboard (mobile).

  • A ⋯ menu keeps the document’s top bar tidy (mobile).

  • Text gets comfortable side margins on small screens (mobile).

  • A large scroll handle helps you move through long texts (mobile).

  • Tracked changes never cover your text (mobile).

🐞 Fixes & optimizations

  • Your text is saved even if you close or reload the page mid-sentence.

  • Words saved as you leave the page still count towards your goal.

  • Menus, buttons and tooltips are never cut off or duplicated.

  • The app loads only what it needs at start-up, so it opens quickly.

  • The selection stays put when you drag its handles (mobile).

  • The scroll handle goes from top to bottom in a single swipe (mobile).

  • Tapping near the outline’s scroll bar no longer opens an empty card (mobile).
