Selma set the onionskin letter on the table and pushed it across. Mira read it twice, the second time slower, then folded it into the pocket of her father's coat.

Beyond continuity checking

Direct your characters. Bunsho keeps them honest.

@-tag anyone in your cast, describe what happens next, and Bunsho drafts the scene as a beat sheet you approve, checked against everything your characters already know before a single word of prose is written.

Preflight runs before the prose. Contradictions with what a character knows surface as notices on the plan, not as sentences you have to unpick later.

Every beat is yours to accept. Rendered prose sits on the page it would join, with Accept, Re-render and Discard in reach, and its cost in plain numbers.

Continuity view

See your story the way Bunsho sees it.

Bunsho quietly models your story as connected characters, events, locations, and rules, then turns that hidden structure into findings you can act on.

Every finding shows both passages in your own words, the exact coordinates, and what your story has already established about that character. No score, no grade: Bunsho reports facts and leaves the judgement to you.

Founder story

Why I’m building Bunsho

I’m a novelist and a builder. While drafting my own book, I realized every AI tool helped me rewrite sentences, but none helped me keep the story consistent.

I was constantly flipping back to check character details, timelines, and world rules. I kept spreadsheets, sticky notes, and docs… and still missed things.

Bunsho is my attempt to fix that: an integrated writing environment with a continuity engine built in, so you can focus on the story, not the tracking.

Questions from fellow writers

FAQ

What exactly does Bunsho do?

Bunsho is an integrated writing environment (IWE) that builds a connected map of your story (characters, locations, events, and rules) and uses that to catch continuity errors when you ask for a check.

Is this an AI that writes my book for me?

No. Bunsho is not a ghostwriter. It’s a continuity and consistency assistant that helps you keep your story logically sound while preserving your own voice.

How do I get Bunsho?

Download it for macOS or Windows from this page. The editor works with no account. Sign in when you want the AI features.

Will there be a desktop app?

Yes. Bunsho is designed as a desktop-first experience. The initial versions may require an internet connection for AI features.

Is Bunsho free?

The editor is free to download, with no account. The AI features (the continuity checker and Director Mode) come with starter credits on the free plan, and paid plans add a monthly allowance. See Pricing.

Does Bunsho use AI?

Yes. Bunsho uses AI to maintain a persistent understanding of your manuscript and detect continuity issues when you run a check. In Director Mode, it can also draft prose for a scene you direct, but only as a beat sheet you approve first, checked against everything your characters already know before a word is rendered. It never rewrites your existing manuscript without your say-so.
