Deckle today announced the early access launch of its native desktop application for Windows and Mac, giving indie authors a single offline tool that takes a manuscript from first draft to publish-ready file. Writing, organizing, formatting, and export are handled in one place, for a one-time payment of $107, with no subscription required.
“Writers deserve a place that feels like home: one app where you write your first word and export your final file, and nothing pulls you out in between. No switching tools, no wrestling with formats, no subscriptions eating into your royalties. Just you and your book.”
Ezzy, co-founder, Deckle
Most indie authors run a three-app workflow they never asked for. They draft in one tool, format in another, and spend hours troubleshooting file compatibility between the two right when they should be finishing their book. The result: more money spent, more time lost, and a manuscript bounced between file formats before a single reader ever sees it.
Scrivener is excellent for organizing a manuscript. But when it’s time to publish, many writers end up buying Vellum ($249, Mac only) or Atticus ($147) just to get polished output. That’s $298 and two separate learning curves for a workflow that should be one tool.
Deckle is a single offline desktop app for Windows and Mac that handles the full journey from first draft to publish-ready file. One purchase. Every feature included. All future updates free, forever.
Every feature described below is in the product today. This is a working tool, not a promise.
Deckle is a fully functional, native desktop application. Because it runs entirely offline, manuscripts never leave the author’s machine and the app works with or without an internet connection. There is no server that can go down and no cloud dependency that can take files with it.
“Early access” means the product is complete and in active use today, with continued refinements shipping regularly. Purchases directly fund that continued development, and every future update is included at no extra cost. Covered by a 30-day, no-questions-asked refund.
Deckle automatically typesets: title page, copyright, dedication, epigraph, table of contents (auto-generated from chapter hierarchy), about the author, acknowledgments, also-by, and glossary.
Early access: $107 one-time payment. Price increases to $197 at full launch on August 8th. No subscription. All future updates included forever. 30-day no-questions-asked refund. Available now on Windows and Mac.
An affiliate program is available. Affiliates receive a custom coupon code: readers get 10% off, affiliates earn $30 per sale.
