Be first through the door.

Pholio Pro is being built carefully and deliberately. Leave your email and you'll hear about it before anyone else — including early access pricing when it opens. Pholio Pro will be $19/month when it launches.

The problem

Writing a book is hard enough without fighting your tools.

Most writers use a combination of scattered notes, disconnected documents, and generic word processors — then wonder why they never finish. Pholio is built around how books actually get written.

The problem today

Ideas everywhere. Progress nowhere.

Writers juggle notes apps, outliners, word processors, and AI chatbots — none of which talk to each other. The friction between tools is where most books die before they're finished.

What Pholio does

One place. Idea to final page.

Pholio Pro brings the entire writing journey into a single, structured workspace — from the spark of an idea through outlining, drafting, revision, and export. Nothing falls between the cracks.

What's being built

Every stage of the writing journey.

Pholio is designed as a complete system — not a collection of features bolted together, but a single workflow from first thought to finished manuscript.

💡
Idea Lab
Capture, develop, and organise the raw material of your book — characters, themes, research, world-building notes — before a single chapter is written.
Phase 1
🗂
Outline Studio
Build your book's architecture chapter by chapter. Drag, rearrange, and annotate your structure until it feels inevitable before you start drafting.
Phase 2
✍️
Manuscript Editor
A distraction-free writing environment built for long-form work. Chapter navigation, word count tracking, and session goals — everything a novelist needs.
Phase 3
🕯
Ink & Lantern
An AI writing coach that reads your actual work and gives structured, actionable feedback. Never generic. Never preachy. Always focused on making your writing stronger.
Phase 3
🔄
Revision Dashboard
Track feedback, mark revisions, and see your manuscript improve across drafts. Version history so nothing is ever permanently lost.
Phase 4
📤
Export Tools
Export your finished manuscript in multiple formats — PDF, EPUB, DOCX — formatted and ready for submission, self-publishing, or sharing with a beta reader.
Phase 5
Ink & Lantern
An AI coach that actually
read your chapter.

Most AI writing tools give you generic feedback that could apply to anything. Ink & Lantern is different — it's built into the editor, reads the specific text you're working on, and gives you structured, actionable notes like a real editor would.

🎯
Always specific
Feedback references your actual text, not generic writing advice.
🚫
Never auto-edits
Ink & Lantern suggests. You decide. Your voice stays yours.
✅
Always actionable
Every note includes a concrete suggestion you can act on immediately.
🔒
Privacy-first
Your manuscript content is never stored or used to train any model.

Ink & Lantern
Chapter 1 feedback · 3 notes

"Elena stood at the window, afraid of what the storm might bring. She had always been afraid of storms, ever since she was a child growing up near the sea."

Ink & Lantern feedback
Strong atmospheric setup — the storm and the sea backdrop work well for the tone you've established.
"Afraid" appears twice in two sentences. Consider showing Elena's fear through her body language or action instead of naming it directly.
The backstory about childhood feels told rather than felt here. Could this memory surface through a specific sensory detail instead?

Philosophy
"The free tier should let you actually write a real book — not tease you into paying for the hope of becoming an author."

Pholio's monetization philosophy is simple: the core writing experience is free and genuinely useful. Paid features are depth, scale, and power — not gatekeeping the basic dream. Writers talk to writers. A product that respects that will earn its reputation the right way.

This is where your book begins.
