Getting Started — There is no single right way to begin in Wonderthrough. The best starting path depends on whether you already have a draft, want to explore the world first,…

Writing

Writing & the Editor — The editor is where you actually write. It’s a clean, rich-text page for your prose, and most of what it does is quiet by design: it saves your work for you,…
Editing Tools — Beyond writing prose, Wonderthrough gives you the working tools you’d expect from a serious manuscript app: a safety net for every revision, ways to restruct…

Writing Goals — A writing goal is a word count target with a deadline. You set how many words you want to write and when you want to finish, and Wonderthrough calculates the…

Story & characters

Story Structure — Arcs are how you give a book its shape in Wonderthrough. An arc is a named thread — a plot line, a character’s change, or a thematic throughline — broken int…
Arcs vs. Trajectories — Arcs and trajectories both describe how a story moves, which makes them easy to mix up — but they answer different questions. An arc is about the shape of th…
Characters & Relationships — Characters in Wonderthrough are rich profiles, not just names. You can capture how a character looks, what drives them, and how they connect to everyone else…

AI analysis

AI Suggestions & Extraction — Wonderthrough reads what you’ve written and shows you what it implies — the characters who appear, the places they go, the threads running underneath. It sur…

Deeper Analysis Tools — Wonderthrough is analysis-first: these tools read your manuscript and show you what it’s doing. They surface patterns, flag inconsistencies, and visualize sh…

Worldbuilding

Custom Entities & Worldbuilding — Wonderthrough is built around the idea that your world is more than a pile of notes. You can keep using the built-in entity types, or you can create custom o…
Worldbuilding Extras — A couple of features make setting up and tailoring your world faster: importable preset packs that give a new entity type a head start, and field toggles tha…
World Search — World Search lets you ask questions about your own work and get answers grounded in what you’ve actually written. It indexes your manuscript passages, entity…
Calendar & Timeline — If your story tracks time — and most do — Wonderthrough lets you build the calendar your world actually runs on, date your scenes against it, and keep your h…
Genre — On your Book Overview page, look for the Genre section. Click to open a chip picker with 40+ preset genres (fantasy, sci-fi, romance, thriller, literary…

Visuals

Image Tools — Wonderthrough’s image tools help you generate, organize, and reuse project imagery without treating images as separate from the writing itself. The two main…
Visuals & Print — This page covers the visual tools tied to your manuscript — illustrating scenes, storyboarding arcs, and pulling detail out of an image — plus producing a pr…

Projects & data

Import & Merge — Import helps you turn existing writing and project material into a working Wonderthrough project faster. It’s best when you already have scenes, notes, or a…
Export & Backup — Wonderthrough supports two different kinds of export, and they are meant for different jobs.
Cloud Sync & Projects — Cloud Sync changes where a project can live, not whether you can use Wonderthrough at all. You can keep a project only on one device, or you can let Wonderth…
Privacy & Data — On the Wonderthrough desktop app, your manuscript lives on your local hard drive — in a project folder you can see in your file system. If you enable cloud s…
Local LLM Setup — If you want Wonderthrough’s AI features to run entirely on your own machine — with nothing sent to any cloud provider — you can connect a local model through…

Billing & Credits — The free plan includes unlimited writing and editing, up to 2 projects, 60 worldbuilding entities, and full manuscript export (.docx, .epub). AI tools requir…
