Skeleton Draft

Unearth Your Story

Open navigation menu

A deeply layered drafting tool for storytellers of every kind.

Build the bones.
Write the body.

Not a word processor. Not an outliner. Something in between. Built by a writer who knows all too well that story and structure have a tense but inseparable relationship. One that needs all the help it can get. For novels, screenplays, short stories, you name it. This is your lair for thinking in depth and shaping your vision with unhindered creative freedom.

Your work is yours. We will never train AI on your writing.

Short film 1 / 16

The gap between stories untold and a living draft is always, always structure.

Built layer by layer

Structure the way your brain actually works.

Acts, chapters, and scenes. Each layer aware of the others. Build from the bones up, or drop straight into a scene. The hierarchy holds itself together so you don't have to.

Scene Storypads

Write the scene without losing the story.

Every scene holds its own paged Storypad, connected to the beats and structure around it. Move between the overview and the writing without rebuilding context.

Tandem drafting

Prose and script stay side by side.

Develop the same scene in prose and screenplay form, move material between them, and keep both versions aligned with the structure of the story.

Cloud-backed drafting

Every version is preserved. None are precious.

Cloud sync, local snapshots, and exportable JSON backups keep your work protected, portable, and available across devices.

AI that knows its place

It sharpens your voice. It doesn't replace it.

Use bounded AI tools when you want to condense, trim, or format words you already wrote. No chat, no invention, no ghostwriting.

Edgar Allan Bones

Help, research, and project memory.

Edgar explains the app, researches facts with cited sources, and files your exact project notes. He never reads, critiques, rewrites, or develops your story.

Every story needs a spine
to find its footing.
