Gridance Studio
Map your plot, own your story. Visual workspace for writers.
Most writing tools start with a blank page; we start with your imagination. Gridance is a premium, local-first workspace where visual planning meets deep-focus writing. ✨ Why Gridance Studio? 🗺️ Visual Board: Drag & drop scenes on an infinite canvas. ✍️ Zen-Mode: A minimalist editor to keep you in the flow. 📊 Smart Sync: Outline and manuscript stay perfectly in sync. 🔒 Privacy First: Local architecture. Own your data forever. Stop fighting your tools and build your universe.
👋 Hi Product Hunt! I'm Lina, a solo developer and a writer at heart.
I built Gridance Studio because I was tired of "storytelling" across ten different apps. I used to scramble between notebooks for plot, scattered documents for characters, and sticky notes for world-building. The moment I changed one scene, everything broke.
I tried existing tools, but they either felt like an overwhelming cockpit—paralyzing instead of helping—or were general-purpose apps that couldn't handle narrative architecture. Plus, I hated the idea of my life's work living on a stranger’s server.
Writers don't need more "features." They need an environment where they can disappear into their story.
Here is my commitment to you with Gridance Studio:
🔒 True Ownership: Pay once, it's yours forever. No subscriptions, ever. 🎁 30-Day Full Access: Try every single feature for free for 30 days-no credit card required. Experience how it feels to own your creative process before you commit.
📴 Absolute Privacy: Your words live on your machine. We collect nothing. No Cloud, No AI.
✍️ Visual Execution:
* The Infinite Storyboard: Drag-and-drop scenes like cards on a physical wall.
* Plot vs. Timeline: Manage chronological order and narrative flow independently (perfect for non-linear stories!).
* Tension Graph: Visualize exactly where your emotional arc sags.
* Dual View: Keep your structure and your prose in sync, side-by-side.
I still write my own screenplays and game narratives in Gridance every day. I’m building this as a user, for users who take their craft seriously.
Question for you: What’s the biggest "friction" that stops you from finishing your first draft?
I’ll be here all day to chat about storytelling and local-first tools. Your story deserves a better home! ✨
