Inkset

Manuscript to KDP-ready in minutes.

A desktop app for self-published authors. Drop a manuscript, run a three-pass AI edit, generate a print-ready interior PDF and EPUB, design a wrap-around cover, and ship a KDP-ready package — all from one window.

v2.0.0 beta · unsigned build · first launch needs right-click → Open (Mac) or "More info → Run anyway" (Windows)

Four steps. One flow.

01 — EDIT

Three-pass AI edit

Grammar, style, and clarity passes that preserve your voice. Watch the edits stream in live as Claude works.

02 — FORMAT

KDP interior

Print-ready PDF + EPUB at any KDP trim size. Drop caps, scene breaks, running headers, page numbers — handled.

03 — COVER

Wrap-around cover

AI cover art via DALL-E 3 (or upload your own), spine sized to page count, back-cover composition.

04 — SHIP

Export package

Edited manuscript, interior PDF + EPUB, wrap PDF, front-only PDF. All locally on your Mac or PC. Upload to KDP.

You bring your own API keys

Inkset never stores your keys on a server. They live locally in ~/Library/Application Support/Inkset/.env and are sent only to the API providers you choose.

  • Anthropic — for the editing pipeline (Claude Sonnet). Sign up at console.anthropic.com.
  • OpenAI — for cover art (DALL-E 3). Sign up at platform.openai.com. Roughly $0.04 per cover candidate.
  • OpenRouter (optional) — single key gateway, auto-fallback for editing if Anthropic isn't set. Sign up at openrouter.ai.
Beta

Inkset is in active development. The Mac build is tested most; Windows is portable-zip only (no installer). Drop caps in generated PDFs may occasionally split words — known, being tracked. Please report bugs on GitHub Issues.
