Novel writing software that keeps the whole story in view

A novel rarely lives in a single document. OENT brings chapters, scenes, chronology, characters, locations, and research into one writer-first workspace, so you can move between drafting and planning without rebuilding the context every time.

Draft in the structure your book needs

Create folders and documents for chapters, parts, points of view, or any structure that fits the manuscript. Open several documents together, focus on the passage you are shaping, and search across the project when a detail needs to be found.

Plan scenes as story events

Treat important moments as events that can appear in both documents and the timeline. Reorder them while planning, place unassigned ideas when they find a home, and keep the prose connected to the larger shape of the novel.

Build a living story encyclopedia

Store characters, locations, items, cultures, and systems as assets with descriptions, aliases, images, and custom attributes. Automatic recognition helps connect names in the draft with the reference material behind them.
