01 · Themes
Thirty-eight rooms to write in.

The colour swatches are impressions of each theme, not captures from the app.
02 · Sound
Something to write to.
Seventeen music tracks across Nature, Worlds and Focus, and soundscapes synthesised on your device. Or bring your own: add audio you own or have permission to use.
- WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC or FLAC — up to 256 sources in your library.
- Your audio stays on this device, outside your books and Worlds, and nothing plays until you press play.
03 · Focus
Just the page, and your view.
Focus clears everything but the words. Put your own photo or video behind the page — saved on this device only — and set the screen text anywhere from 100% to 300%.
- Zoom changes the screen only: your book and exports keep their type sizes.
- Interface zoom enlarges the app's controls too, if you'd like everything bigger.
04 · Your writing days
Your words, your days, your streak.
Days, words, active time, streaks and rest days, kept on this machine — never uploaded. Switch it off whenever you'd like a quieter desk.
Kind streaks
Choose your writing days. A day you haven't chosen can never break a streak — and revision counts as work, so cutting is never a broken streak.
Goals that travel
A name, two dates and a word count. A goal lives in the book, so it travels with it.
A pace from your own work
After a few days of writing, Alhora suggests a finishing range from how you actually write — and what a day would need to hit your date.
Twelve weeks at a glance
A grid of additions, cuts and craft work, and a year's totals set by the same typesetter as your book.
