Odyssey Lab is our early access program for writers who want to help shape the future of Odyssey. Lab members get early previews of features, influence over our roadmap, and direct access to the team.
We love hearing from writers. You can submit a feature request or share your feedback here. And if you like, you’ll be notified if yours makes it onto the platform.
We only send one email a month, packed mainly with helpful blog posts and writing tips, along with the occasional new feature announcement or discount. We never send spam or marketing fluff, just things worth reading.

Like Scrivener, Odyssey is designed for Authors who take their craft seriously. It helps you track your novel’s structure with story notes, inline commenting, rearrangible chapters, and progress tracking.
However, unlike older applications, like Scrivenar, which require you to pay a large upfront licensing fee to download a big desktop application, and manually sync to either your desktop or Dropbox, Odyssey is entirely web-based and free. Your writing is accessible any time, from any of your devices, auto-saves to the cloud as you type.
You don't need a credit card to sign up to our free hobby tier. If you sign up for a trial of one of the paid tiers, we ask for a credit card to begin your free trial. This helps us prevent spam accounts and lets us offer you uninterrupted access if you decide to continue. You can cancel anytime during the trial, and we’ll send a reminder before your first charge.
Yes, its free! And even our premium subscription starts at just $4.99/month, making it one of the most affordable writing tools for authors.
