Version History

Every time you login to Shaxpir, we keep track of the changes you make during that writing session and seamlessly synchronize those changes to the cloud.

Shaxpir 4: Pro

If you’re a Shaxpir 4: Pro user, you can browse through the complete history of your changes, read old versions of your chapters and notes, and selectively restore historical text into your current draft.

Whether two weeks or two years from now, you don’t have to worry about permanently losing a word or phrase hastily discarded.

Shaxpir 4: Everyone

If you’re using the free Shaxpir 4: Everyone edition, you can’t browse through your historical text, but don’t worry: Shaxpir still saves your complete version history to the cloud. And if you ever upgrade to Shaxpir 4: Pro, you’ll be able to access the complete version history of every piece of content you’ve ever written, even if it was originally written with your free account.

Free forever. Easy signup. No credit card required.

Free 30-day trial of Shaxpir 4: Pro included with every new account.

FEATURES

Your Writing Home

Shaxpir isn’t just a tool for cranking out documents. It’s a personal workspace where you can live your writing life, developing new ideas into novels, memoirs, short stories, articles, and more…

Manuscript Builder

Shaxpir provides easy drag-and-drop tools to rearrange your manuscript, changing the order and hierarchy of chapters, so you can find a structure that works for your story.

World-Building Notebook

Keep detailed notes for every element of your story: characters, places, themes, etc… Then link those notes directly to the chapters in your manuscript.

Concept Art

Enhance your brainstorming by thinking visually, bringing your characters and settings to life by attaching concept artwork to all your story notes and ideas.

Margin Comments

Shaxpir lets you hightlight a few words — or an entire paragraph — and jot down your thoughts in the margins, keeping your revision ideas nearby for when you’re ready to polish your final draft.

Version History Tracking

Shaxpir keeps a historical archive in the cloud of all your changes over time, so you can always go back in time and restore a paragraph of text you may have hastily deleted last month.

eBook Export & Publishing

Publish your manuscript as an eBook: HTML for sharing on the web, DOCX for collaborating with agents & editors, or EPUB for distribution to the Kindle, Nook, and iBooks stores.

Set Goals & Track Progress

There’s no better way to improve your craft than to write every day. Shaxpir tracks your daily writing sessions and plots your progress toward your long-term goals.

Custom Themes

Customize the user-interface with seven beautiful designer themes, each with its own distinct color schemes and font-pairings, for nighttime writing or just to change the mood.

Offline Writing

Shaxpir is a desktop application, not just a website. Whether you’re at a cabin in the woods, or just off the grid for a few hours, you don’t have to be online to write.

Cloud Backup & Sync

Whenever you’re online, Shaxpir automatically synchronizes your data to our secure backup servers in the cloud, so you’ll never lose your work again.

Windows + Macintosh

With support for both Mac and Windows platforms, you can start a new chapter at home on your MacBook, and pick up where you left off on your Windows work computer.
