A clean, beautiful writing interface with first-line indentation, comfortable line spacing, and formatting tools built for books
Free Means Free
No subscription. No premium tier. No feature locks. No account required. No internet needed. Every single feature is available to every user for free. Archivia is supported entirely by voluntary donations from users who find it valuable.
Write Like a Pro
Rich editor built for books, not blog posts. Format with bold, italic, headings, blockquotes, and scene breaks. Organize into Parts and Chapters with first-line indentation and comfortable line spacing.
Never Lose a Word
Autosave runs silently every few seconds. Every book is saved as its own .book file on your computer — no cloud, no sync issues, no data leaving your machine. You own your writing completely.
Snapshot History
Take up to 20 snapshots of your book at any point — before a big rewrite, after a great session, or whenever you want a safety net. Restore any snapshot instantly. Like Scrivener's snapshots but simpler.
