Changelog

We just gave your Sudowrite homepage a makeover. Your projects now appear as actual books, featuring your very own cover art.

Upload any image as a project’s book cover: your actual cover art, a photo of a vintage store dummy that creeped you out, or just some wallpaper for vibes. You can click the three dots (•••) that appear when hovering on a project to upload art. Your cover art also appears in the top-left whenever you’re working inside a project, so you can click there to add or swap it anytime too.

Shelf Publishing

Folders and series now appear as shelves lined with the books contained within. Click any book’s thumbnail to open that project, or click the shelf itself to open the whole series or folder.

Easier All Around

Project, series, and folder names can now be edited with a single click. Just hover over a name until you see the outline, click, and type.

We also made it way easier to start something new or import your work in progress. Just click the book-sized New button and choose how you’d like to work.

We can’t wait to see how you choose to personalize your workspace! Please share what you come up with in our Discord. (And for those of you who would rather generate cover art than upload from elsewhere… stay tuned!)

We’ve made some big updates to Chat very recently, improving both its speed and performance.

Chat responses are now twice as fast - We moved Chat to faster infrastructure this week, cutting response time in half in the process. You should definitely notice it on bigger tasks.

Chat makes fewer mistakes - We've been working hard to improve Chat’s performance where it’s most likely to stumble. Our most recent fixes have reduced error rates by 30%, meaning it’s now far less likely to drop context, misplace an edit, or give up. We’re not done yet, though, and there are more Chat improvements to come.

Rewrite now runs on our in-house model - Rewrite had been using Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet for a while. We just moved it to Ballad, and the results speak for themselves: authors are now 20% more likely to actually use the resulting Rewrite. If you haven’t tried Rewrite in a while, it’s worth another spin.

Actually print your documents - Hitting Ctrl + P or Command + P while viewing the Sudowrite editor used to pop up a blank page and a message about needing a wider browser. Well, good news, folks: it will now print a clean version of whatever document you're viewing.

We just added a batch of formatting improvements that will give you more control over paragraph spacing and make copy/paste more reliable.

Set your own paragraph spacing

There’s a new Paragraph Spacing setting in your account settings (under the gear ⚙️ icon in the upper right). Choose your preferred paragraph spacing, and it applies consistently across your projects—no more hand-inserting blank lines for readability.

Tidy up empty lines in one click

If you (or a prior import) left empty “spacer” lines to provide a visual buffer, a new toolbar button will collapse them for you—either at the document or project level—so you can use the new paragraph spacing settings instead.

Copy and paste that preserves your formatting

Pasting into Sudowrite from Word, Google Docs, ChatGPT, or Claude now preserves formatting far more reliably. And copying out of Sudowrite will no longer double your line breaks. Imports come in cleaner too, without phantom empty paragraphs.

A more polished editor all around

Headings now scale with your text size and match your chosen font. Nested bullets now use proper markers with tighter spacing. And your formatting—bullets included—should now appear in the editor exactly the same as it does in cards in your History section.

Big thanks to everyone in the community who flagged these copy/paste and spacing issues in recent months. This one’s for you.
