Calliope

Writing stats

Your writing, given back as self-knowledge

Calliope keeps a quiet record of your whole habit — a daily word history, your rhythm, every chapter and character — and hands it back so you can see what your writing looks like and what your manuscript actually contains. It informs and delights; it never shames a slow week.

The Stats page — a year heatmap, the writing streak with freezes, and habit tiles

Your habit

A year of writing, at a glance

A contribution heatmap shows every day you wrote across the past year — and it's there from day one, built from your real history. A gentle streak counts the days you keep going: rest days from your weekly goal don't break it, and an earned freeze quietly covers the odd day you miss.

It even names your persona — "The Midnight Scribe" — from when and how you write, and projects a pace to your goal. It informs and delights; it never shames a slow week.

Manuscript stats — words, pages, chapter shape, and the most-mentioned cast

Your manuscript

What your book is actually made of

Words, pages, read-aloud time, chapters, and how much of your book is drafted versus done. And the cast: who dominates the page, and the "barely mentioned" ghosts hovering at the edges of the story.

It's the shape of the whole manuscript in numbers — the same canon your Map holds, counted and laid out.

Stats for nerds — vocabulary, signature words, dialogue ratio, and the Writing Wrapped card

Stats for nerds

The numbers under the prose

A playful, deeper read of the writing itself: your vocabulary and its diversity, your most-used and signature words, how much is dialogue, and an adverb-o-meter for the -ly habit. All framed as fun estimates, never a scold.

And Writing Wrapped — a Spotify-Wrapped-style card of your persona and headline stats, with a one-click image you can choose to share.

Write

Distraction-free editing

Real book typography, warm paper themes, dark mode, focus mode, and typewriter scroll — a surface built to disappear so the page is the only thing you see.

Revise

Craft lenses

Ten colour washes that reveal your own habits on the page — adverbs, filter words, sentence rhythm, sensory balance, echoes and more — each teaching from both sides so you decide. It recolours your prose; it never rewrites it.

Feel

Ambience

An opt-in, reactive backdrop for the page — a constellation that grows as you finish sentences, an aurora that deepens as you write. Subtle, peripheral, and off unless you want it.

Remember

The Map & structure

The canon of your world — characters, places, facts, every mention — and the outline of your manuscript: parts, chapters, synopses, statuses, reordering.

Think

Marginalia & the AI companion

Notes, to-dos, and chat pinned to the paragraph they're about — beside an AI that reads your whole book, checks it against your canon, and never writes a line of it.

Research

Research beside the page

Ask a question mid-sentence and the companion searches the web, reads the sources, and answers with citations — right in the margin, without pulling you out of the draft. It hands you facts, never prose.

Connect

The MCP connector

Point Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor at your real book — with a public catalog of editor, critique, character, and craft-drill skills. It reads everything; it never writes your prose.

Automate

The Writer API

Your book as data you can script against — import a legacy manuscript, run a transform, wire a publish pipeline. The one surface where your own prose can flow in and out.

Self-knowledge, not a scoreboard

See your writing clearly

Every number is there to help you understand your own habit and your own book — when you write best, how your story is shaped, where your voice sits. It's a mirror, not a manager. The pen stays yours.
