Punakynä
Manuscript editor for authors – with an AI beta reader
Write novels, short stories and other long texts scene by scene. Every change is saved to a version history, and when the text is ready for readers you get feedback fast – from people and from AI.
- AI reads your manuscript. The review goes through structure, characters, plot and mood and points out where the story wobbles. You can also connect your own AI app (such as Claude) to read and comment.
- Beta readers and commenters. Invite readers to comment and suggest changes. You decide what is accepted – nobody changes your text without your approval, and neither does the AI.
- A calm place to write. Scene and chapter structure, focus mode and paragraph styles.
- A finished book. Preview the manuscript typeset as a book, and export to PDF, Word, EPUB or InDesign.

On the web and as a Mac and Windows app. The desktop app works without the web service: your manuscripts stay on your computer, and go online only if you want to share the book with beta readers. You can always export a manuscript to Word or PDF as well. See the privacy policy and terms of use (both in Finnish).
