Today we’re shipping v3.2.0 — a big one. We gave learning and notifications each their own home, fully rebuilt Writing Sprint and Beta Reader reports, and smoothed out billing, sync, and a long list of smaller things along the way.
A new Tutorial Center — replay any walkthrough, anytime
Tutorials used to pop up the first time you landed on a page, and once you’d seen one, you couldn’t get it back. Not anymore.
- All your tutorials on one screen. Open Preferences and scroll to the bottom to see the status of every walkthrough — completed, skipped, left midway, or not started yet — all at a glance.
- Replay any of them. Re-open any single tutorial whenever you like, or reset them all in one click and start fresh.
- Taught in context. Tutorials now appear when you actually reach the feature, instead of dumping a wall of tips the moment a page loads.
- No repeats across devices. Your completion state syncs across devices, so switching machines won’t make you sit through a tutorial you’ve already finished.
A new Notification Center — what matters, all in one place
There’s a new bell in the left sidebar. When something’s new it lights up with an unread dot — click it to open your notifications.
- Everything in one feed. Writing milestones, writing reminders, and system announcements all land here, and clicking one jumps you straight to the right page.
- Notification preferences, now a channel matrix. For each kind of notification you can choose whether it goes to in-app, push, or email — each toggled independently.
- Unread-only and mark-all-read. When things pile up, filter to unread only, or mark everything read in one tap.
- The dot updates live. When a push arrives, the dot lights up in real time — no refresh needed.
Writing Sprint, rebuilt — keep writing while the clock runs
Sprint used to take over the whole editor, so you couldn’t really write while it timed you. We rebuilt it.
- Now a little card in the bottom-right. The timer shrinks to a floating widget, so you can keep writing mid-sprint — nothing blocks your view.
- It survives anything. Switch pages, leave and come back, even refresh — the timer keeps counting instead of resetting to zero.
- Pause and resume. Need a sip of water? Pause it. We also removed the old “danger mode” that could delete your content, so there’s nothing to fear-click.
- Sprint in Writing Studio too. It used to live in only some places; now Writing Studio has it as well.
- A results card when time’s up. When a sprint ends, a card pops up and counts up your words, pace, and duration for the session — with a touch of confetti and a one-tap “Sprint again.”
Beta Reader reports, rebuilt — read the notes against your text
Beta Reader reports are now a side-by-side panel: the report on one side, your manuscript on the other. Much easier to read.
- Tap a paragraph marker to jump. Every §N marker in the report is clickable — tap one and your manuscript scrolls to that paragraph and highlights it, so a note and the text it’s about line up instantly.
- Redesigned top nav. Export now lives in the top bar, tidier all around.
- Bigger type. Text that used to be too small is larger now, so the whole report reads more easily.
Beta Reader billing — a hybrid of reports + usage, so you’re never blocked
We made Beta Reader billing more intuitive and more flexible.
- See exactly how many reports you have left. Your plan’s included beta-read reports now show as “X / Y left this month,” with this month’s reports and any extra reports counted separately.
- Run out? Keep going anyway. When your reports are used up you’re not blocked — billing switches to charging AI usage by word count. Read 5,000 words and it’s about 5,000 words of usage; 50,000 words is roughly 10× that. You pay for what you use.
Subscription plans and report packs are always priced in US dollars (US$).
Sharper AI rewrite review — confirm changes one at a time
Reviewing AI rewrite suggestions got a number of improvements.
- Auto-scrolls to the change. Opening a review takes you right to the edit, and the navigation arrows are clearer.
- Multiple edits in one file, confirmed top to bottom. Several changes in the same file are now confirmed one by one, from the top down, so accepting or keeping each one is more precise — and they no longer interfere with each other.
Chapter analysis no longer times out
AI analysis of long chapters now streams back as it’s generated, fixing the old problem where it would cut off after about 30 seconds and fail on long text. Even big chapters run to completion now.
More improvements and fixes
- Prices shown in US dollars everywhere. Subscription plans and report packs are clearly marked US$, so they can’t be mistaken for another currency.
- Writing goals and archive state sync to the cloud. A project’s writing goal and archived status now sync to the cloud, so switching devices or clearing your browser data no longer resets them to defaults.
- Better relationship map, plus mobile sharing. The relationship map’s editing experience is smoother, and there’s a new share entry point on mobile.
- A rare “can’t reach this site” is fixed. We fixed the occasional “This site can’t be reached” when refreshing a deep page or opening a share link, and made the app-update prompt more reliable.
- Help links fixed. Broken help links work again, and we removed the unused two-column format comparison in Script Studio.
- HabitPlant quotes, greatly expanded. From 32 to 245 motivational quotes — far less repetition in your daily nudge to write.
