The Glass Archive
The lamps along the Meridian were still burning when Mira reached the Archive steps. Salt had crusted on the railings like frostTheo, and somewhere below the water, a bell was ringing that no one had rung in forty years.

One studio for every kind of story
Stories were never meant to be written alone. Plotra puts your whole room — writers, editors, artists, translators — inside the same page, at the same moment, without anyone ever losing a single comma.
The writing studio
Everything your story needs, in one room.
A rich editor that feels like paper, a knowledge base that feels like Obsidian, and collaboration that feels like sitting at the same desk.
The tide came in twice that night — once for the city, and once for the girl who remembered it.
Nobody in Lune spoke of the second tide. Not the lamplighters, not the Order, not even the bells.
Write together, live
Real-time co-writing with named cursors, presence and inline comments. Everyone edits the same sentence and nothing ever collides.
…and so she followed [[
Link everything
Type [[ to link any character, place or scene. Backlinks write themselves.
A living graph
See how every thread connects, and spot the characters who go missing for three chapters.
Timelines, any calendar
Custom eras and calendars, lanes per character, and chronological vs. narrative order.

Water beads on the ceiling. MIRA steps inside.

You remember me.
Screenplay-perfect
Tab and Enter flow through scene headings, action and dialogue, formatted to industry standard.
Offline-first, conflict-free
Write on a plane. Plotra saves every keystroke locally and merges it perfectly when you land.
First draftv1
RestoreEvery version, forever
Named snapshots, side-by-side diffs and one-click restore. Nothing you write is ever lost.
Obsidian-style workspace
One story. Every view.
Split panes, tabs and a command palette. Open the same world as prose, a timeline, a storyboard or a graph, side by side, and all of it stays in sync.

Salt in the Lamps
Theo did not look at her when he said it. He looked at the lamps, which had begun, impossibly, to burn blue.
“The Order knows you went below.”
Suggestion by Ada: burn blue → burn backwards

Character · Canon
Writing the Season 1 recap? Set the horizon to Season 1 and Plotra hides everything the audience hasn't seen yet: in search, the graph, links and exports.
World bible
Custom types for characters, places, factions, magic systems, anything.
Canon status
Canon, draft, speculative or retconned, with the reason for every change.
Knowledge layers
What's true, what the audience knows, and what characters believe.
Continuity checks
Warns when someone appears after their death, or knows too much too soon.
Enterprise-grade secrecy
Built for secrets worth keeping.
Big stories leak through too-broad access. In Plotra, everyone sees exactly what their job needs, and nothing hidden ever reaches their device: not in search, the graph, backlinks, history or exports.
