After a long time building and refining this for my own use, Authors Toolbox v1.0 is officially live.

Authors Toolbox is a Windows desktop app I built to help organize writing projects spread across multiple tools and file types. It does not replace writing apps. It works alongside them.


The core idea is simple:
it looks at your existing writing files and folders and gives you a visual library to manage them, without moving or modifying anything.

What it does

  • Imports existing writing projects in bulk

  • Works with files across Scrivener, Word, PDFs, EPUBs, and more

  • Keeps files exactly where they already live

  • Lets you see project status, progress, and structure at a glance

  • Focuses on organization, not writing or editing


What it does not do

  • It does not write for you

  • It does not lock you into a new format

  • It does not require you to rebuild your workflow


This project came out of years of struggling to keep my own writing organized while working across too many tools. I built it because I needed something that reduced friction instead of adding more setup.


v1.0 is intentionally focused. It does the one job I needed it to do and does it quietly.

I’ll continue improving it over time, but for now I wanted to mark this as the official first release.
