Studio
Settings
A handful of preferences. Everything here is reversible — tune the studio to the way you write.
Appearance
Choose the light that suits the room.
Light keeps the page bright; dark is gentler at night.
Editor preferences
The shape and weight of the page itself.
The serif your draft appears in.
17px — affects only the manuscript.
1.70 — generous breathing room reads calmer.
Autosave
Saves your scene quietly as you write.
Smart quotes & dashes
Curly quotes, em-dashes, and ellipses as you type.
Spellcheck
Browser spellcheck inside the manuscript.
Focus mode
What happens when you slip into a session.
When Focus Mode engages while you're drafting.
Paragraph focus
Dim everything except the paragraph you're writing.
Hide chrome while typing
Toolbars fade out a beat after you start.
Sprint completion chime
Soft tone when a writing sprint finishes.
A quiet room tone for sessions. Generated locally — works offline.
35% — applies the moment you change tone.
Default pane visibility
The drafting studio remembers these between sessions.
Show scenes pane on open
The chapter and scene navigator on the left.
Show studio assistant on open
The AI chat pane on the right.
Show scene summary above editor
Outline-based goal, intent, and POV.
Default to last-used author on launch
When you open IkinOS, re-select the author whose project you were last in.
AI assistance
How the studio assistant works alongside you.
Always preview before insert
Required. AI text appears in a preview area and is only ever added to your manuscript when you approve it.
The mode the studio assistant opens in.
Less context is faster and more private.
Use Author DNA in suggestions
Tune the assistant's voice to match yours.
Show reasoning behind suggestions
Every preview includes a brief 'Why'.
Notifications
Just enough to keep the rhythm — never more.
Daily writing nudge
A gentle reminder at your chosen time.
Milestone celebrations
Quietly mark word-count and scene milestones.
Quiet weekends
Silence nudges Saturday and Sunday.
Export
Manuscript exports — coming to the prototype soon.
