For the complex work of writing
A novel, a memoir, a feature film or a television series. Karde brings your planning, your draft and the people helping you into one place.
Open a second page beside your draft. Look back at the idea, check a detail and keep writing with the work in view.
Fiction.
Novels, novellas, short stories and series. Develop your cast, map their relationships and keep the places and plot threads beside the draft, from the first chapter to the last.
→Non‑fiction.
Memoir, history, expertise, a book of real things. Bring your research, sources and people together, shape each chapter around its argument, and build the proposal and bibliography as the book grows.
→Screenwriting.
Film, television and the stage. Write on a formatted script page, arrange scenes into acts and keep the characters, places and story threads around it. Build a television series episode by episode.
→Plan.
Give the idea its shape. Hold the Brief, characters or people, locations, outline and story threads together, ready to return to as the draft changes.
Write.
Set the page to suit you, or write in script format. Keep reference material beside the draft, with autosave and version history to return to earlier writing.

If you have ever felt like you cannot keep the whole thing in your head, you are not doing it wrong.
I built Karde because I know what it feels like to carry a whole book in your head. The characters that shift on you. The timeline that slips. The notes on the back of an envelope. The plan written at midnight. The one voice you are chasing across sixty thousand words. It is a lot. Every writer I know is holding more than they can keep in view. Karde is the room I always wished I had.
You are in the right place.
A small, honest, useful thing I made for the writers still deciding. No sign-up, no card. Take it for a spin and see how the studio thinks.
