Readers who know your book as well as you do.

Attente's readers do what a good first reader does: they read closely, remember everything, notice what you'd want noticed, and explain why. Each note waits in the margin, beside the words it's about, for you to decide.

A chapter open on a quiet page, with the binder on the left and three notes in the margin on the right: a continuity question, a line edit shown as a tracked change, and a beta reader's reaction.

Every suggestion is yours to take or leave

A note sits beside the words it's about, with the reader's name and its reason. A proposed edit is shown as a tracked change in the sentence. Accept it and it becomes an ordinary edit you can undo; dismiss it and it's gone.

No code path writes a model's words into your manuscript without your accept. That isn't a setting: it's how the app is built.

A line edit waits in the margin as a tracked change. The writer accepts it, and the sentence in the page changes; nothing else moves. — A suggestion waits in the margin until you accept it.

Who reads along

Switch each reader on or off. They speak when you pause, as you write, or only when you ask: your choice.

Calm by default

While you type, nothing on the screen moves because of a reader. Results arrive without motion, behind a quiet count, and wait until you look.

When you're ready, review a reader's notes for a chapter in order, each shown in its sentence with its reason.

The writer types a new sentence at the end of the chapter. The notes in the margin stay exactly where they are. — Write, and nothing on the screen moves but your words.
