Frequently Asked Questions

How do version licenses, updates, and future upgrades work?

When you purchase a StoryScrib Studio license, you receive all Version 1.x feature updates, performance boosts, and bug fixes completely free for the entire V1 generation. When StoryScrib 2.0 launches in the future, your V1 copy will remain yours to use forever without interruption on all your licensed devices. If you choose to upgrade to Version 2.0, you will be eligible for a heavily discounted, affordable upgrade price tag rather than paying full price.

How do ScribAI functions work, and is there an extra cost?

ScribAI is a strictly optional, consultative author's sounding board that is disabled by default upon installation. It NEVER writes into your manuscript, never autocompletes prose, and never sends your creative drafts to AI training sets. It is grounded in your pinned World Codex lore to assist with plot timeline checks, research questions, and character consistency only if you choose to enable it. You can connect your own API keys (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or local offline models) with zero subscription fees, or keep it disabled for a 100% traditional offline writing desk.

How many devices can I install StoryScrib on?

Each license includes 10 personal device seats (2 macOS, 2 Windows, 2 Linux, 2 Mobile, 2 Tablet). You can transfer or deactivate seats at any time from within the app settings.

Does StoryScrib have backend servers or upload my data?

Zero backend servers. StoryScrib does not operate central cloud databases, sync servers, or telemetry relays. All manuscripts, character dossiers, outlines, and notes live 100% locally on your computer in open SQLite and standard Markdown files. Nothing is ever uploaded or transmitted to StoryScrib.

What countries and payment methods are supported?

All purchases are processed securely through Stripe, supporting authors in over 195 countries across 135+ global currencies. You can pay seamlessly with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major regional debit/banking methods.

What is the return policy?

In addition to the 60-day free trial, every purchase is protected by our 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not completely thrilled with the studio, simply contact us for a prompt, courteous refund.
