ibuku is a unified desktop authoring and publishing studio designed for novelists, indie authors, and small teams. It eliminates the need to juggle multiple disjointed tools (such as Scrivener, Vellum, World Anvil, and Plottr) by integrating the entire creative and typesetting pipeline into one cohesive, distraction-free powerhouse.

Built with an uncompromising commitment to privacy, ibuku runs 100% locally on your machine with zero telemetry, zero trackers, and complete offline capability.

    Ibuku is everything I needed in an authoring tool. The dual-view author comments make editing drafts effortless, and the multi-strand timeline tracker keeps my narrative tight across multiple plot lines. Exporting clean Shunn ma***cripts and EPUB 3 books with zero hassle makes this an essential part of my writing toolkit. 10/10!
