The chapter structure of Scrivener, the simplicity of a modern editor, and cloud sync across every device.
Versal brings the chapter-based structure of professional writing tools together with the simplicity of a modern editor. Write anywhere, sync everywhere, and never lose sight of your manuscript's shape.
Your manuscript, everywhere.
You love structuring your novel in chapters and scenes. You hate that your writing app hasn't changed since 2012.
You've tried writing in Google Docs. You know it's not built for a 90,000-word manuscript.
You want to review a chapter on your phone during your commute. Your current tool doesn't let you.
The tools you've tried are either powerful but clunky, or simple but structureless. Versal is both.
Drag and drop your chapters into order. See your entire structure at a glance with visual icons — the way you actually think about your manuscript.
Feels like Google Docs — just start typing. Bold, italic, headings, block quotes. The formatting you need, nothing you don't.
Write on your laptop. Review on your phone. Pick up exactly where you left off. Your words save automatically. Always.
The outline view shows every chapter with word counts and status. Track progress chapter by chapter — know exactly where your story stands.

They sat across from each other, the silence thick with unspoken accusations and old promises...

Yes. Import from PDF or Word (.docx) and Versal will detect your chapter structure, clean up formatting artifacts, and organize everything into the binder automatically.

Your work saves locally and syncs when you're back online.
You can keep reading and editing everything you've written. You'll just need Pro to keep adding new words.
Yes. We never read, train on, or share your work. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit — both in our database and in our off-site backups.
Your writing is saved to our cloud database in real time, and independently backed up to a separate storage provider in a different location. Two copies, two systems, encrypted on both.
Your story deserves a space as considered as your words.
