Scroll is a local-first desktop writing studio for novels, nonfiction, and complex long-form work. Keep Markdown manuscripts, Story data, research, author tasks, Works, and versions in one Project. Inspect the same Story through eleven built-in views, switch between Visual and Source editing, or enter Black House for focused writing. Scroll prepares a clear manuscript source for Scribe; it does not create PDF, EPUB, page layout, or pagination.
Catalpas Atelier Scribe brings Markdown writing, live book layout preview, and publishing export into one desktop workspace. It focuses on the stage where many writing tools stop: turning a long manuscript into ePub, Docx, images, and print-ready PDF. It stands out with CJK vertical typesetting, ruby annotations, references, LaTeX math, custom fonts, page templates, and CMYK / CMYK + ICC PDF export.
