Guide/Part One · Get started

The Home screen

Home is where every session begins. It greets you, shows your recent work, and gives you a place to start something new.

You'll be greeted with your current writing streak and last-seven-days word count; two template cards, Blank and Manuscript, plus a link to open an existing file; and a searchable grid of Recent Documents below.

The Home screen: wordmark, greeting and streak, template cards, KILN card, and the Recent Documents grid.

If you've crashed or closed without saving, a Recovered section appears above your recent files with your unsaved work waiting. See Crash recovery.
