RedThread Pocket

The story leaves the desk. Not you. 

RedThread Pocket is the iPhone companion for the moments between writing sessions. Capture a thought, work on a chapter, check the chronology, or finish a writing sprint—then bring that work back deliberately.

Carry enough of the story to keep moving.

Pocket is not the full iPad studio squeezed onto a smaller screen. It is a calmer, focused companion for writing and nearby context: the pieces that help when an idea arrives on a train, in a queue, or away from the desk.

Catch the thought. Stay for the chapter.

Keep quick notes or open simple manuscript pages for volumes and chapters. Pocket saves while you work, so a passing idea can remain a spark—or become the next page.

Check where the moment belongs.

Read the imported chronology, follow alternate paths, and open the nearby story context when a scene depends on a person, place, or past event. The reference stays close without taking over the writing screen.

Bring the work home when you decide.

Pocket gathers notes, completed writing sessions, and manuscript changes for a local handoff. RedThread reviews what came back; conflicts keep both versions until you choose. Nothing silently edits the main library.

One story across two devices, with a visible doorway between them—not an invisible process in the background.

The quiet notebook beside the larger story studio.

Use it alone for focused work on the go, then reconnect with the full shape of the story in RedThread.
