Getting started
Solo mode
Hide the social side and focus on just your writing.
Solo mode turns Inkbreaker into a quiet writing desk. The feed, the community links, and the message and notification icons step aside, and your home becomes a workspace built around your own work.
Your progress keeps counting. XP and badges still accrue while you write. Solo mode only hides the celebratory pop-ups, so you earn everything quietly and see it later.
Turning it on and off
If you chose to start solo when you set up your account, you are already in solo mode, and the globe button is how you leave it.
Use the globe button in the top navigation bar. A plain globe means solo mode is off. A globe with a lock means it is on. It is a toggle, so tap it again to come back to the full app.
Your choice follows you across devices. You can also flip it from Preferences, under Content, in the Focus section.
What changes
When solo mode is on:
- The message and notification icons leave the nav bar.
- The menu drops Community, Competitions, Referrals, Shop, and Read, and keeps your writing surfaces: your profile, a new piece, Notebook, Exercises, and Tools.
- The Notebook hides its Community tab, and the Series and Worlds sections hide their “Following” lists.
- Your home page swaps the social feed for your own workspace.
Nothing is deleted or unpublished. Turn solo mode off and every social surface returns exactly as it was.
Your home workspace
The solo home is split into two columns.
On the left is where you start a session:
- Focus board. A short note for what you are working on right now, plus a “Next up” checklist you can tick off as you go.
- Start a session. A small carousel with two ways in. “Start from a prompt” lets you pick a kind of prompt (a scenario, an opening line, a character pair, and more), then drops a random one into a new piece with it open beside you. “Writing sprint” sets a length and an optional word goal, then runs a timed sprint in the editor. A finished sprint counts toward your streak. The sprint is a Pro feature; on the free tier the prompt starter is yours to use, and the sprint card shows a Pro lock.
- Quick capture. A fast inbox for stray ideas. Jot a line so you do not lose it, then turn any idea into a draft when you are ready.
On the right is your work:
- Pick up where you left off. Your most recent drafts as resume cards, so you can jump straight back into any of them.
- A streak and this-week line, so you can see your momentum at a glance.
- Recent work. A tidy log of what you have done lately: pieces published, drafts started, exercises completed, tools used. Each row links back to the work, and repeats are folded together so it stays readable.
Notes still wait for you
Solo mode does not turn off messages or notifications at the source. People can still write to you, and your alerts still collect in the background. They are simply out of sight until you switch solo mode off, so nothing pulls your attention mid-sentence.
