What's new in Insanitomeium — features, improvements, and fixes.
feature
Character & research sheets you can fill in and export
Creating a character or research note now offers a ready-made template: a clean, structured sheet with sections for the things you actually track — a character's basics, personality, relationships, goals and arc; a research note's summary, key facts, sources and open questions. Prefer a blank page? That's still one click away.
Every part of a sheet is yours to shape. Edit any field, rename a section, remove the ones you don't need, or add your own — nothing is fixed.
And your sheets aren't trapped in the app: export any character or research note to PDF, Word, ePub, or Markdown and it comes out looking just like it does on screen, headings and all.
Writing on a phone just got a lot smoother. The menu button in the top bar now opens a full-height panel that slides in from the right, with your account, session tools, view options, theme, and everything else laid out in clear groups instead of a cramped list.
Writing sprints go full-screen on mobile with a big countdown ring, tap-to-pick durations, and an optional word goal — and once a sprint is running, a live timer sits in the top bar so you always know how long is left, even after you close the panel.
Split view works on phones too: your two documents stack vertically, and the pane you're not typing in tucks away when the keyboard comes up so you get the full screen for writing.
Split view upgrades, sharing options, and annotation polish
The split editor grew up: drag the divider to resize the two panes exactly how you like, and open a corkboard in one pane while you write in the other.
Beta-reader share links can now include your margin notes as numbered endnotes — strictly opt-in, so your private notes stay private unless you tick the box.
Annotations got a polish pass too: click any note to edit it, cards line up beside their text and never overlap, and the label picker on corkboard cards opens right where you clicked. On phones, Share and What's New are now in the menu.
The editor toolbar and the top menu were redesigned around one idea: everything you need in one tidy row, and everything else one click away.
The toolbar now uses compact menus — paragraph styles, fonts with live previews, alignment, text color and highlight swatches — plus a font-size stepper and a ⋯ menu for the rest. Up top, a view switcher flips between Editor, Split, and Corkboard, a progress pill tracks your session word goal, and the Sprint button counts down right in the bar.
The Help menu (the ? icon) now gathers documentation, What's New, keyboard shortcuts, and bug reporting in one place.
Insanitomeium now keeps automatic snapshots of every document as you write, so an accidental delete — or an over-enthusiastic rewrite — is never permanent.
Snapshots are captured quietly in the background while you work. Open the version history at any time to read an earlier draft and restore it with one click; restoring is itself reversible, so you can never make things worse by looking.
Something not working the way it should? Open the Help menu (the ? icon) and choose "Report a bug" to send us a description — and up to three screenshots — without ever leaving your manuscript.
Your privacy is built in: screenshots are automatically scrubbed of hidden photo data (like camera and location details) before they leave your browser, and the report tells you exactly what it includes before you send it. We read every report.
There is now a place to find out what is new: the News & Updates page lists every feature, improvement, and fix as it ships — you are reading it right now.
Keep an eye on the ✨ What's New button in the top bar: a small dot appears whenever something new has landed since your last visit.
You can now send your work to beta readers — no account required on their end. Click the new Share button in the top bar, pick the chapters and scenes you want to include, and Insanitomeium creates a private link you can send to anyone.
You stay in control the whole time: set the link to expire after 7, 30, or 90 days (or never), add an optional password, and revoke any link whenever you like from the Share window.
Select any passage in the editor and click the comment button to attach a note to it. The commented text gets a subtle underline, and your note appears as a card in the margin beside the passage it refers to — like scribbling on a printed draft.
On smaller screens your notes tuck into a tidy panel instead, so they never crowd the page. Edit or remove a note at any time; everything saves automatically.
Highlight any passage and the editor toolbar now shows exactly how many words and characters you have selected, right beside the document word count. Handy for trimming a scene to length or checking a contest excerpt against its limit.
