Inside Sadr.

How it works, what it includes, and where it fits in your process.

Who It’s For

Novelists who are planning a book from the ground up — new writers who want real structure to work from, and experienced writers tired of juggling planning notes across a dozen separate documents that never talk to each other.

The Problem It Solves

Story planning usually lives scattered — a premise in one doc, character notes in another, a loose outline somewhere else — disconnected from the actual manuscript you’re drafting. Sadr links all of it together in one place, and keeps that planning visible right beside your draft as you write, instead of switching between windows to remember what you decided.

How It Works

Plan
Foundation, Premise, World, and Theme worksheets, plus a full Character Builder and Chapter Dashboard (scenes, events, and per-chapter character arcs) — all linked together, not separate documents.
Write
The Write tab keeps that chapter’s planning notes open beside your draft as you type, so you never have to leave the page to remember what you decided.
Track
Stats tracks your word count and progress directly from what you’ve actually typed in the Write tab — no manual logging.

Accepted Files

None — Sadr is start-from-scratch only. It doesn’t currently import an existing manuscript; every project begins as a blank Foundation and grows from there.

What You Receive

Your project autosaves continuously, and Sadr keeps a version history — at most one snapshot per chapter per day. Export a single chapter or the full manuscript any time. “Download Full Manuscript” is also your local backup — worth running regularly.

What It Does Not Do

Sadr doesn’t import an existing manuscript, and never writes a single sentence for you — every worksheet and every word of your draft is entirely yours. Separately, Sadr is text-only — there’s currently no way to upload or embed images (maps, chapter art, etc.) into a project, whether it was started from scratch or has been going for months.
