Three tools. One direction.
The whole suite,
in working order.
Scenes in old files. Alternate drafts. Notes that still matter. A manuscript you can feel, even when the path through it is hard to see. Kaizen starts there and carries your judgment from the first fragment to the final read.
Every handoff carries the work you taught upstream.
Begin here · Your first visit
Open one door. The others will feel familiar.
Each app opens with the same quiet suite strip and keeps its working surface centered on the manuscript. Your first choice is simply the state of the work.
Choose a plan on the app page
Free is already selected. Choose Pro or Suite Pro when you want the larger monthly allowance and premium reading models.
Enter your email
Open the activation message and follow its link. The app opens with your access already in place on that browser.
Bring the work
Paste a short piece, drop a supported file, open a recent manuscript, or import the bundle from the previous Kaizen tool.
Use the suite strip to move between tools
The small Kw, Kr, and Kr/w marks at the top take you to each sibling. Theme choice follows you across the suite.
Begin here · Plans, keys, and privacy
Choose how the suite reads.
Every app has a hosted Free path, its own Pro path, and a bring-your-own-key path. Suite Pro gives all three apps their Pro allowance under one subscription.
Free · $0
Learn the room.
A real monthly allowance on every app, with Google Drive backup and restore.
Per-app Pro · $20/month
Stay with one stage.
A larger allowance, premium reasoning, and automatic Drive sync in the app you choose.
Suite Pro · $30/month
Carry one book through.
Every app's Pro access, with one subscription and the full suite handoff.
Bring your own key
Use your provider account.
Add a provider key inside Settings. The key stays in the browser, and provider usage is billed by that provider.
What stays on this device
Your working manuscript, recent list, preferences, provider keys, and local history live in the browser by default.
What travels for a Read or Write
The passage and the context needed for the request travel to the chosen model. Your manuscript returns to the browser when the work is done.
Exact allowances can change. See the current table on the Kaizen Suite pricing page.
Kaizen Weaver · Getting started
Bring every piece that still has life.
Weaver is the first room when the book exists in pieces. Bring the whole pile at once. Linnea, the editor, reads what arrived and proposes a shape across all of it. She reads quietly on your device as you work, and nothing leaves unless you ask for her wider reading.
Bring the material
Drop DOCX, Markdown, plain text, or PDF. Weaver reads each file and tells you what it is reading while it works.
Watch the shape compose
Scenes settle onto a spine in reading order, the world gathers above, and the sources they came from connect below.
Read the proposal as a proposal
Everything Weaver found arrives as an unsettled layer over the Book. It is visibly a suggestion until you decide.
Add more whenever you want
Choose Bring more at any time. New material joins the field and Linnea proposes again around what is already settled.
Kaizen Weaver · The living field
Three lenses hold the shape.
Living Book
The spine, in reading order. It begins with the opening and lengthens as the Book takes shape.
World
The people, places, objects, and threads the Book knows, connected to the scenes that establish them.
Library
What you brought in, every retained revision, and any writing not yet placed. A source can leave, too: open it and choose Remove from the Library. Unwoven passages leave the field, scenes you already took keep their words and their trail, and the original stays in your Archive.
These are three views of one connected record, not three applications. The field changes emphasis rather than moving you to another destination. Detail appears only when you select something, and closing it returns you to the same lens, the same position, and the same focus.
Kaizen Weaver · Taking the shape
One act makes it yours.
Rather than a thousand small confirmations, one act settles the whole proposal. Correct the field directly, then chooseSave and reweave. Your changes hold, and the Book reweaves around them.
- Read the proposal while it is still visibly a proposal.
- Change anything you disagree with first.
- Save and reweave when it looks like your book.
- Open receipt to see exactly what that act changed.
The receipt itemizes the change and opens its exact entry in the Record. Nothing unsettled can reach Atlas, the Archive, or any later work before you take it.
Kaizen Weaver · Deciding
Decide at the exact thing.
Select anything unsettled and Loom opens where that thing lives, carrying the question, the evidence, the alternatives, and the limit of what Linnea may claim.
The question
What Linnea is actually asking, stated plainly and attached to the thing it concerns.
The evidence
The exact passages behind the proposal, readable side by side, never paraphrased.
The alternatives
What else the same evidence would support, so the choice is a real choice.
The boundary
What Linnea may not decide.
Teaching from where you are
The lighthouse lamp has been dark since Mara was twelve.
Memory appears where it can shape the reading in front of you. Teaching never claims Weaver inferred your words, and revising keeps the earlier wording in the Record.
Kaizen Weaver · Chronology
When it happens, without inventing a calendar.
Reading order is the Book’s primary shape. Story Time is a second rail you open when you want to inspect when things happen.
Open the second rail
Reading order stays intact. Story Time appears beside it rather than replacing it.
Read order from the writing
Most scenes in a novel never say when they happen. Linnea reads consequence rather than dates, because consequence needs no calendar.
Keep uncertainty as uncertainty
Scenes sharing a loose interval are shown sharing it. A guessed sequence would be a lie with good manners.
Look at the reversals
Where a scene knows something that breaks later, Linnea shows the reversal and the passages that establish it.
Kaizen Weaver · Hand it forward
Leave with everything, or carry the whole record.
Take it home
Export the complete Archive.
Sources, decisions, receipts, and the whole Foundation record, lossless and restorable later. Any original file stays available through Download original source.
Continue the suite
Hand forward to Rewriter
The Book and what it knows arrive together for vision, outline, and chapter work.
Skip the rewrite pass
Hand straight to R/W.
A settled Book can move directly into editorial reading, carrying the same record with it.
Kaizen Rewriter · Getting started
Open the draft that needs its seams mended.
Bring a chaptered manuscript
Paste the draft, drop a supported file, open a recent manuscript, or choose Import a bundle when the work came from Weaver.
Check the chapter split
Headings become the chapter rail. A clean heading structure gives every later intent, hold, and verdict a stable home.
Let the first read finish
Rewriter opens in the vision view and begins reading automatically. Stay on the page while it gathers the manuscript’s voice and shape.
Correct the book before the first rewrite
Edit the vision, voice fingerprint, outline, characters, world, and continuity. These become the contract for the chapter loop.
Kaizen Rewriter · Vision and outline
Name what the draft already knows.
Vision
The manuscript’s present shape
Five or six paragraphs describe attention, time, pacing, point of view, and the emotional habits already on the page. Click any line to revise it.
Voice fingerprint
The sound a rewrite must hold
Sentence length, rhythm, register, dialogue ratio, and other durable qualities sit beside the vision. Make them specific to this book.
Chapter by chapter
- Open a chapter row and read every intent.
- Click an intent to edit it. Press Enter to save or Esc to leave it as it was.
- Remove an intent that asks the chapter to chase the wrong ambition.
- Order the intents by importance. On a difficult pass, the lowest priority yields first.
- Leave the chapter empty when preservation is the whole assignment.
Kaizen Rewriter · The rooms
Correct the facts. Then look at the joins.
Characters
Names, roles, relationships, motives, and details that bind each person.
World
Places, objects, systems, rules, and the book’s physical truth.
Continuity
Facts that must survive across chapters and across a rewrite.
Seams
Double introductions, missing transitions, competing facts, and the edges where drafts joined.
Mend a seam
Choose Look at this to ask for the smallest mend. Accept keeps the proposal. Try a different read asks again. Disagree, not a seam clears the local finding. Defer returns it to the vision. When a chapter is settled, Mark chapter done rereads the book around it. A small ring on the chapter rail marks kept chapters still waiting for that continuity read.
Kaizen Rewriter · The rewrite loop
Two panes. One verdict.
The original stays on the left. The rewrite streams on the right. A small plan pill names the scale before the prose arrives: preservation, minor, or substantive.
Plan
The tactician sees the chapter, intents, and holds, then picks the smallest useful move.
Write
The prose follows that plan while carrying the vision, voice fingerprint, and dictionary.
Read
The supervisor reads the result fresh and anchors up to three findings to the chapter.
Decide
PASS keeps the result ready for you. REVISE lowers the load by dropping the least important intent and runs again.
Add direction from the page
Select prose in either pane. Choose Hold to… for a fact or constraint that every later pass must respect. Choose Voice note… for a line-level instruction the next chapter pass should hear.
Kaizen Rewriter · Your moves
Keep, retry, set back, then carry.
Accept the rewrite. Its prose becomes the carry that the next chapter can see.
Restore every intent, reset the counter, and read the chapter from the top.
Keep the original and rewrite available while you decide what travels forward.
Reopen a kept chapter. The intent list and rewrite surface return.
Use Auto-keep after the first manual keep
Your first keep teaches the system what “good enough” means for this draft.Auto-keep can then run chapter by chapter. Choose Hold for my read when you want the chapter to wait. PASS and kept-original outcomes move on. A chapter that uses its whole retry budget waits in the review tray.
Export the draft
Choose Markdown or plain text. Include the originals as blockquotes when you want a side-by-side reading outside the app.
Hand to R/W
The rewritten manuscript, cumulative dictionary, and upstream memory become one suite bundle for the final read.
Kaizen R/W · Getting started
Bring the draft you are ready to read again.
Choose the right entry
Paste works well for one chapter. Upload .txt, .md, or .docx for a manuscript. Import a .json suite bundle when the draft came from Weaver or Rewriter.
Open in reader
R/W detects the book’s sections, then opens a Contents page before the reading begins.
Return through Recents
Reopen a local manuscript from the landing. Its marks, edits, dictionary, passes, and reading history return with it.
Kaizen R/W · Contents
Confirm the shape before the first reading.
Contents is the import checkpoint. It catches front matter, number-only headings, and false breaks before marks attach to the manuscript.
Click a chapter title and replace the whole heading.
Drag the handle or use Move up and Move down.
Fold a false section into the chapter before it.
Pick the real break from the suspected seams R/W found.
Keep title pages, acknowledgments, notes, or unfinished sections outside the reading while preserving their place.
Commit the contents and open the first active chapter.
Kaizen R/W · The reading
The letters change color when a passage wants attention.
Marks stay inside the prose. Open one to see the category, passage, and reason. A quieter confidence is held more loosely, then your choices teach later reads where to be certain.
Four breaths. Four heartbeats. I swung my feet onto the carpet.
Repetition
The parallel rhythm lands, then the final phrase explains the image a second time.
On a phone, paragraphs with several marks become a card deck. Swipe the top card or use its actions. Teach and Write open the full panel because they need more room.
Kaizen R/W · Decide and teach
One passage. A handful of useful moves.
You saw the mark and made the decision. It settles.
Explain why the passage is intentional. The note enters the dictionary.
Send the mark to History → Queue for a later decision.
Keep this passage outside future scans.
Read the suggestion, edit it, then Apply when it earns its place.
Open the paragraph in place and make the change yourself.
Teach well
A useful constraint explains the choice in a way a later scan can apply. Voice entries describe how the prose moves, so future Writes can sound closer to the manuscript. Conditional rules can narrow an entry to one point of view, a chapter range, or a scene type.
Mark the text yourself
Select a passage. Choose Ask AI for a focused read, Later to place it in the Queue without a Read, or Voice to make it part of a point-of-view baseline. Your mark takes priority on the same text.
After a change
Both AI and manual edits share a three-level undo stack. A gold margin bar marks revised paragraphs. Apply surfaces a short continuity summary from the notebook. A manual edit can also offer Run Ripple Scan for a fresh chapter read that looks for consequences of the change.
Kaizen R/W · Passes and runs
Choose the question before you ask for another read.
Choose a lens before a chapter Read. Each run keeps its own history, which lets the rest of the toolkit show movement rather than a pile of disconnected findings.
Snapshots
Save the manuscript before a large revision.
Analytics
Compare runs, word count, mark density, and handled flags.
Journal
Follow every revision in chronological order.
Queue
Turn Later marks into a tracked list of decisions.
Recurrence
Group the same pattern across chapters and handle it as a family.
Summary brief
Read a short editorial letter about the whole book, with citations back to the manuscript.
Kaizen R/W · Audit mode
The whole book, opened like a notebook.
Open Audit mode from the gear menu. Five groups gather the close reading and the story-level record in one place.
Work the cards
Got it, Teach, Later, and Write behave like the same actions in the reader. Check a card when it belongs in a beta reader packet.
Read the heatmap
The thin rail on the right places one dot per mark. Dense clusters show where the chapter may need slower attention.
Use the chapter spine
Hover the left edge for the table of contents, scan status, and expandable mark lists.
Read the whole manuscript
A Full Read can surface recurrence, motifs, and continuity slips that a single chapter cannot see.
Kaizen R/W · Story-level tools
Follow pressure, promises, and continuity.
Scene cards
Who, where, change, stakes, and the unresolved question for every scene.
Tension arc
Pressure across the manuscript, with chapter-level sparklines in the contents spine.
Continuity ledger
Characters, objects, and locations, with contradictions attached to their evidence.
Setup and payoff
What the draft planted, what paid off, and what is still hanging.
Character pressure
External, internal, relationship, and deadline weight by character and chapter.
POV drift
A baseline scene for each point-of-view character and the passages that move away from it.
Open the Structure, Voice, or Craft group in Audit mode to reach these tools. Scene fields stay editable, so the notebook can be corrected by the writer who knows the book.
Kaizen R/W · Getting it out
Carry the revision into Word, or bring a reader’s notes back.
Export a revision
From the gear menu, export a .docx with revisions as native Word comments and the dictionary as an appendix.
Build a beta reader packet
Check selected findings in Audit mode. Export only those notes with a cover page, keeping the full manuscript private.
Import commented feedback
Choose Import → Beta reader feedback and open a commented .docx. Preview the incoming notes, then commit them as marks.
Recover a prior export
Import an earlier R/W .docx to recover its marks. Recent edits gathers every accepted revision in one list.
Carry the voice forward
Export a voice profile with dictionary entries, categories, and point-of-view baselines when the next book needs the same reading memory.
Across the suite · Google Drive
Keep the book in your own Drive.
Drive backup covers Rewriter and R/W. The manuscript lives in your Google Drive, and Kaizen keeps only the connection needed to reach the files it saves for you.
Connect Drive
Open Back up and restore from the gear menu or topbar. Sign in with Google and confirm the account shown after the return.
Save or restore
Free includes Save to your Drive now and Restore from your Drive. The first save begins the book’s Drive history.
Keep devices in step
Pro can turn on automatic sync. The open book saves quietly as the work changes and again when a device opens it.
Use Recovery and history
Open the current Drive copy, kept Drive revisions, and local named snapshots. Choose Restore only after checking the title and time.
When two devices changed the same book
Make the version on this device the Drive head.
Bring the Drive copy onto this device.
Keep this version open and preserve the other one in history.
Across the suite · The traveling memory
The dictionary is the suite’s spine.
A forward handoff carries more than prose. It carries the reasons behind the choices, so each later tool begins with a deeper read of the same book.
Weaver teaches the facts
Characters, world, scene intent, continuity, and the placements you chose.
Rewriter adds the contract
Vision, voice fingerprint, holds, chapter intents, and accepted prose.
R/W learns the taste
Constraints, voice entries, categories, point-of-view baselines, and the marks you settled.
Export the bundle at a handoff. Import it at the next app’s landing.
Across the suite · Working routes
Use the route the manuscript needs.
Route one · The scattered book
Weaver → Rewriter → R/W
- Gather and place the fragments.
- Choose the strongest variant lines.
- Build the full chaptered draft.
- Read the manuscript in passes.
Route two · The broken draft
Rewriter → R/W
- Confirm vision and voice.
- Set the chapter intents.
- Mend the seams and keep the earned rewrites.
- Move into the editorial read.
Route three · The late draft
R/W
- Confirm the Contents page.
- Choose a reading lens.
- Decide, teach, revise, and flag.
- Use Audit mode for the whole-book view.
Across the suite · When something feels stuck
Find the last settled state.
The app sends me back to sign up.
Weaver activates with Google sign in or a passwordless email link, on the browser where you plan to work. Signing out clears the account session only. Your local writing stays where it is.
My manuscript is missing on another device.
Weaver keeps your work in the browser you wrote it in, so it does not follow you to another device on its own. Export the complete Archive on the first device and restore it on the second.
The chapter split looks wrong.
In R/W, use Contents to rename, move, join, divide, or set aside sections before Start reading. In Rewriter, make the chapter headings clearer in the source and bring the manuscript in again.
A Read or Write stopped midway.
Your local manuscript remains in place. Check the connection, reopen the panel, and try the action again. If the monthly allowance is spent, switch to your own key or wait for the next period.
The dictionary is making a strange choice.
Open the entry and narrow its scope. A point of view, chapter range, scene, or app-specific phrasing can keep a true note from becoming too broad.
Drive found two versions.
Read the version names and times. Keep this version makes the current device canonical. Use the other version restores Drive. Keep both preserves the fork in history.
I want to undo a large change.
Use the immediate undo stack first. For an older state, open Recovery and history or a named snapshot, then confirm the version before Restore.
I want to clear Weaver and start again.
Open Book context above the field and choose Start over on this browser. It lands on What starting over means in the Record, which names what a reset deletes and what survives before anything happens. One source can leave without a reset: open it from Library and choose Remove from the Library.
