Build the habit
Daily word goals, streak tracking, writing-time logs. So the few hundred words you write today have a reason to come back tomorrow.
A long-form editor with project structure, full-book memory, and an AI coach that has actually read your manuscript. Built for the writers who plan to finish.
She had counted them twice. Both times the answer was the same — and both times she kept counting, because the alternative was to sit down.
The boats had not come back. They had not come back yesterday, either. Mr. Halberg had said the boats not coming back was a thing that happened, and a thing you stopped thinking about.
Of every hundred manuscripts started this year, ninety-seven will be abandoned by April. Slima exists to be the studio that helps the other three finish.
Most apps give you a text box. Slima gives you a project, a streak, and a coach who has actually read your book.
Daily word goals, streak tracking, writing-time logs. So the few hundred words you write today have a reason to come back tomorrow.
Markdown, project tree, automatic version snapshots, offline-ready. No decoration — only the things a writer needs.
The AI coach has read your characters, your foreshadowing, your pacing. Ask it anything and it answers from inside your manuscript — not from generic writing advice.
A serif editor for the words, a project tree for the files, an AI coach for the questions — same place, every device.
When you ask the coach a question about chapter seven, it has actually read chapters one through six.
Ask about pacing. Ask about a character you wrote in chapter three. Ask if the ending lands. The coach answers from inside the work.
The habit system stays free, with or without the AI coach. A few hundred words a day, every day, finishes more books than weekend marathons.
From 200 to 2,000 words — pick the size of commitment you can actually keep. Slima remembers the number you chose.
Every day you hit your goal, the streak ticks up. The progress bar makes it hard to break.
Chapters finished, words accumulated, days active — proof that you're moving, in numbers.
Quiet by default. Every tool here shows up when you need it and disappears when you don't.
One screen, every chapter and section, drag to reorder. The manuscript follows.
Every save is restorable. Browse versions like chapters in a history.
Academic-grade. Numbered, linked, and exported in any common style.
Research, character bibles, world rules — open while you write, never in another tab.
The active line is locked to the screen center. Everything around it dims.
Search every chapter, note, and reference. Replace once, propagated everywhere.
See the manuscript the way readers will. Justified, paginated, page numbers and all.
Submit anywhere, in any format. Your manuscript is yours; we just give it a good home.
Read-only links with optional comments. Pull notes back into your draft with one click.
My writing used to be scattered across different files — character notes, outlines, first drafts, scene breakdowns. Finding any single reference was torture. With Slima, everything finally clicked into place.
Writing shouldn't have a paywall. Editor, files, and habit system are free forever; pricing only kicks in when you use the coach.
