Done-for-you setup — £99

Send us your catalogue, links, publishers and royalty statements and we’ll import the lot, so you open a ready-to-use app on day one.

Your colours — £29

The whole interface re-skinned to your brand palette. Custom logo artwork quoted separately.

A note on the AI features: Some features — royalty-statement reading, character snapshots, Plot & Character Bibles, the Conflict Engine, chapter synopses, Social Posts drafting — use AI through your own Anthropic API key. You pay Anthropic directly for what you use, usually about £1–3 a month for an active writer and pennies for a light user. There’s no AI charge from us, and every other feature works with no key at all.

What you need to run it: AuthorOrbit needs Node.js installed on your computer — a free, one-time setup step. If that’s not your thing, add Done-for-you setup and we’ll hand you a working app. Windows and Mac both supported. It’s a private, single-author tool — one shared password per install, no multi-user logins — so it’s for you on your own machine or home network, not shared cloud access.
