Every tool your novel needs.
Dabble grows with your story — plan it, write it, revise it, and share it without ever leaving your studio. Here's everything on your desk.
See the whole story before you write it.
A novel isn't written front to back — it's built. Dabble gives your plot, your cast, and your world a home right beside the manuscript, so the big picture is always one glance away.
Plus plot lines, plot points, plot labels, prologues, story notes, and unlimited manuscripts.
Plot Grid
Lay every scene against your plot lines and plot points, and spot the sagging middle before you write it.
Character Profiles
Track traits, backstory, and arcs in detailed profiles — with property lists, avatars, and banner images.
Story Notebook
Build the settings and rules of your world in notes that live beside your manuscript, not in another app.
Manuscript Organization
Parts, chapters, and scenes in a drag-and-drop binder — rearrange the outline and the book reorders itself.
Focus Mode
The moment you start typing, everything but the page fades away. Just you and the sentence in front of you.
Goals & Stats
Set a deadline and a word count — Dabble builds the daily plan and adjusts it when life happens.
Built-in Thesaurus
The right word is a click away, without leaving the page or losing the thread.
Co-Authoring
Invite a writing partner into the manuscript and build the story together, live.
A studio that keeps you in the chair.
The words are yours to write — Dabble's job is to clear the path. Distractions fade, momentum shows up on the scoreboard, and your book is already open on whatever device is nearest.
Plus spell check, six themes with light and dark modes, and true offline writing on any device.
Revise without fear.
Every draft you've ever written stays reachable, every change is visible, and the notes you leave yourself land exactly where you'll need them next.
Plus text highlighting, find and replace, and strikethrough.
Sticky Notes
Pin big-picture revision notes to any scene and clear them as you work through the draft.
Comments
Leave margin notes on specific lines — for yourself, your co-author, or your editor.
Track Changes
Propose, accept, and reject edits with a full paper trail — built for working with editors.
Advanced Grammar & Style Checks
Spelling, grammar, and style suggestions that understand fiction — not business memos.
Read-to-Me
Hear your manuscript read aloud and catch the clunky sentences your eyes skip right over.
Versioning
Scrub back through every version of every scene. Nothing you write is ever lost.
Your first readers are already here.
When the draft is ready for other eyes, you don't need to export a thing. Readers, writing partners, and editors come to the manuscript — and their feedback lands right beside your words.
Beta Reader Workflow
Send review copies straight from Dabble and collect reactions inline — no attachments, no lost feedback.
Writing Group Sharing
Share your work with your writing group and gather everyone's notes in one place.
Share to Web
Publish a scene or a whole story to the web with a link anyone can read.
Editor Workflow (Coming Soon)
Hand your editor the manuscript with comments and track changes ready to go.
Export to Word & Text
When it's time to query or publish, export a clean manuscript in seconds.
Book Covers & Heading Images
Dress your book with a cover and chapter heading images before it ever leaves the studio.
One story. Every device. Any weather.
Dabble lives in the browser and on your phone — nothing to install, nothing to sync by hand, nothing to lose.
True Offline
Planes, cabins, dead zones. Keep writing — Dabble syncs the moment you're back.
Any Device
Start a scene at your desk and finish it in the school pickup line. Your book is always current.
