New · Virgil, AI beside your writing
A HOME FOR YOUR BOOK, ON MAC AND IPAD
Write. Organize. Finish.
Finis takes your book from first draft to ready to share. Write, organize and revise, with an AI editorial assistant whenever you want a fresh pair of eyes. Every choice stays yours.
On the App Store for Mac and iPad · Free for 14 days, then $34.90 / €39.90, once · macOS 14 and iPadOS 18 or later
Find your words
A quiet writing space that helps you follow a thought and stay with it.
Shape your ideas
Keep chapters, notes and research together as your book takes shape.
Reach your readers
A manuscript for your editor, a PDF or an ePub for the people you’re writing for.
THE PAGE
Settle in. Find your flow.
Give the next sentence your full attention. Focus brings the passage you’re working on into view, while Typewriter mode keeps your current line in the middle of the window. Choose the paper and typeface that feel right, and let the words follow.
- Add headings, quotes and lists with a click
- Write in Literata, designed for books, or a clean sans-serif
- Set line width, spacing and indents to suit you
- Make yourself comfortable with Light, Sepia or Dark paper
THE PROJECT
The whole book, in view.
Give every idea a place and find the right order for your chapters. Rearrange them on the board, check your progress in the outline, or read a whole part as one continuous text. Your notes and research stay with the manuscript, ready when you need them.
VIRGIL · YOUR EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
A fresh pair of eyes. Still your voice.
A question about a character. A dialogue that feels slow. A sentence worth another try. Virgil brings AI into that work, right beside the page. Ask your book a question, get a second reading or explore an alternative. You decide what stays.
DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and Grok (xAI). Choose a model for each task, even from different services.
See how Virgil worksReread
Notice what you’ve missed
Look for repetition, unclear passages, uneven pacing or issues with dialogue and continuity. Keep useful observations as comments on the text.
Synopsis
Keep the chapter in focus
Draft a synopsis from the open document. Read it, edit it and, when it feels right, use it in your book’s outline.
Variant
Try another way
Select a passage and ask for an alternative. You can add it as a tracked change, ready to accept or reject during revision.
Virgil is optional. It needs an Internet connection and your own API key. Usage follows your chosen service’s plan and is separate from the 14-day trial and the Finis purchase. No AI credit is included.
REVISION
Make the next draft stronger.
Try a different sentence. Leave a note for later. With tracked changes, you can weigh up each edit before accepting it. Earlier versions are there to compare and restore, giving you room to rethink a passage and find the words you want.
- Compare drafts word by word
- Keep a chapter and its notes open side by side
- See your progress with word counts, goals and deadlines
EXPORT
Ready for your readers.
When it’s time to share your work, choose the format that fits: a manuscript PDF for an agent or publisher, a Word file with comments for your editor, or a typeset PDF or ePub for readers. Check the preview, export, and let someone turn the first page.
- Give your book a title page with your name on it
- Number chapters with figures, Roman numerals or words
- Leave out ideas and unfinished chapters by status
OPEN FORMAT
Your writing stays yours.
You’ve put time into this book. Keep control of it. Your chapters are plain Markdown text files that other apps can read, even without Finis. Keep your project on your Mac or iPad, or in a folder synced with iCloud or Dropbox. Autosave and automatic backups give you earlier copies to return to when you need them.
