Dabble guides you from the blank page to a published manuscript.
Every Holmes needs a Watson, and every Wilbur needs a Charlotte. You are the protagonist of your writer’s journey, but we know you’ll love Dabble’s ability to make the quest a bit less treacherous.
A set of tools to optimize the time you spend writing
Writing a novel is a monumental task. So, balancing our instincts as authors with feedback from Dabble users, we created a writing workflow authors can customize to their needs. From the first word you type to the moment you export your manuscript, Dabble helps with the heavy lifting.
Drag-and-drop organization
Character and world building notes
Digital index card plotting tools
“Dabble is geared towards people like me who want to spend more time on their work. I can jump on Dabble and see my book start to take real shape.”
Not just another distracting app
The ping of a message. The ting of a notification. Most apps take our attention away from our work. But writing a novel requires focus.
First and foremost, Dabble is an intentionally minimalistic platform that fades into the background so you can answer your calling and stay in a perfect creative flow.
Focus mode fades out the UI as you write with Dabble
Dark mode and font themes help you create an interface tailored to you
Features stay out of your way and let you write
“Dabble allows you to concentrate on the writing itself, not on the program. It focuses on what I need to do and nothing more.”
Built for whenever and wherever the muse strikes
The experience of writing a novel can feel daunting. We programmed Dabble to allow you to write wherever you feel most comfortable and whenever you want.
Whether in the sublime of nature or a city bustling with activity, Dabble’s cloud capabilities allow you to tell your story whenever inspiration arrives.

Eliminate imposter syndrome, once and for all
Most writers would love to spend their 9 to 5 with a pen in hand, bringing characters to life. You have the talent to get there. But to do so, you need to feel like a novelist.

Put your heart and soul on the page––we’ll protect your hard work
Most writing software requires users to create hacks and workarounds, like retrieving manuscript versions on Dropbox or creating custom folder structures. But these approaches can result in lost time, or worse yet, lost work.
We care about protecting your work because your story deserves to hit the shelves.
Intuitive, organized folder structures
Professional customer support
Store daily file backup from offsite databases
“If I lose something on my manuscript, I can just contact Dabble and say I lost it. They’ll actually go down to the scene and get it back for me to find the piece that’s missing. That’s just amazing.”
