Every writer deserves a staff.
Studios have researchers, fact-checkers, script supervisors, continuity editors. Now your desk does too. Skarvia does everything for your draft except write it — that part stays yours, provably.

Skarvia never writes a word for you.
It reads, researches, checks, and remembers — the byline is the one thing it won't touch.
The Fact-Checker
Findings only — no flattery. Other AI tools spend half their output congratulating you. Skarvia's checker structurally cannot praise: defect cards with evidence and citations, or one quiet line — "No issues found."
The Period Expert
Writing 1962? Skarvia knows ZIP codes arrived in 1963, the 727 flew in '64, and Bonanza ran on NBC. Period details get checked against the real timeline of the world.
The Skeptic
Every finding must survive a second reviewer whose only job is to refute it before you ever see it. When Skarvia flags something, it's worth your time.
The Researcher
Highlight a passage, ask anything — "how does an arraignment actually work?" — and get cited answers filed into your project's research library.
The Continuity Editor
Mara's eyes were green in chapter two and brown in chapter fourteen. Someone on staff should catch that. Now someone does.
Your Cloud, Not Ours
Your manuscript's home is your own storage — Dropbox today, more soon — saved as you write, readable in any text editor, forever. Skarvia keeps only a working copy for its checks. Continuous autosave and version history included.
One studio, every long-form format
The same staff, the same fact-checker and continuity editor, whatever you're writing. Pick a format and the editor already knows its rules.
Novels
Write in one continuous manuscript; Skarvia notices your chapters, prologue, and epilogue and turns them into a navigator you can jump around — no forced splitting.
Film & screenplays
True Courier pagination, Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, and Movie Magic in and out, and a UK/BBC television preset for the writing surface.
TV series
Episodes that share one world, a series bible that builds itself from your Codex, and one-sheet pitch templates.
Stage plays
Standard play format — centered character cues, italic stage directions, act and scene structure — the way a script hits a director's desk.
Audio drama & podcasts
Narration, character dialogue, and SFX and music cues, with runtime estimated from the spoken word — the scripted-podcast format done right.
Broadcast & video
Two-column A/V scripts — visuals on the left, audio on the right, locked row by row — the way news and TV segments are actually written.
Built for novelists · screenwriters · playwrights · podcasters · video creators
Skarvia — from skarv, Norwegian for cormorant: the working bird that dives for the catch and brings it back. The catch was always the fisherman's.
