Find, replace, and notes to yourself

A long draft needs the tools a long draft needs. Inkbreaker gives you a proper find and replace, and a way to leave yourself notes anchored to the exact words they are about, without ever marking up the piece your readers see.

Open find and replace and you get a live match count, next and previous, match case, whole word, regular expressions, and replace all, in a bar that overlays the toolbar without pushing your page around. Whole word is the one that matters when you rename a character: a search for Ann finds Ann and leaves Anne, announced, and the Annals of the Second Age exactly as they were. There is also a revision pass for editing yourself, the way you would track changes with an editor: turn it on and each edit is proposed rather than applied, so you can read back what you did and keep or drop each change one at a time, with your base draft untouched until you accept it. Notes to yourself are private margin annotations: select a span, write a note, and it anchors to those words; a side panel lists every note so you can jump to it, edit it, mark it resolved, or delete it. The notes are yours alone and never enter the piece, so they never publish and never export. Find and replace and the revision pass are free for everyone. Margin notes come with Pro, and your free trial counts.
