Inkubus — the goal-aligned writing app. Feed it words.
Or answer for it.
Name your target — a novel, drafted in a year — and Inkubus carves it into a daily quota and a phase-by-phase plan, then keeps the count. Show up and it grins. Fall behind, or unwrite the pages you already swore in, and the grin is gone.
What the demon does
Six gifts, each one a string tied to the work you swore you'd finish.
A quota that recomputes
Words remaining ÷ days remaining, recast every dawn. Bank words ahead and tomorrow eases; fall behind and it bares its teeth.
The phases of the work
Outline → Act I → Act II → Act III → the final push. Inkubus reads your word count and tells you what the day is actually for.
Streak, levels, the long burn
Show up, hit the mark, keep the flame lit. A streak-and-XP rite that rewards the days you returned — and remembers the days you didn't.
The anti-deletion ward
Only surviving words count. Cut into work you'd already committed and you pay in XP and a furious stare; large cuts are stashed, never lost.
Compile the manuscript
Bind your included chapters into a clean, standard-format .docx — title page, running header, scene breaks, all of it.
The ever-watching widget
A floating sigil and a menu-bar eye: today's goal ring, your streak, the demon's mood, and a scratch field that still counts.
Two faces. One accountant.
Inkubus wears its verdict where you can't miss it.
The Grin
You're on pace, ahead, or you just hit the day's mark. The streak grows and the demon is, for now, delighted with you.
The Glare
You've slipped behind, or you're clawing back words already sworn in. The contract has teeth — and you can feel them. Back to the page.
