Scrivy's calculators get authors paid; these tools get the book written. Five small, fast instruments for the drafting side of the desk — each one runs in your browser, shows its methodology, and asks nothing in return.

They cost us nothing to run
Every tool computes in your browser — no servers crunching your text, no AI bills. Free isn't a teaser tier here; it's just what zero marginal cost looks like.
Your words stay yours
Nothing you paste or log is uploaded, stored, or used to train anything. Scrivy is a publishing-services business; your drafts are not the product.
The work is shown
Every formula, reading speed, and data source is stated on the page that uses it — cited where it came from, honest about its limits. Teachers and librarians: link freely.
Already publishing?
The other side of Scrivy's toolbox is built for the business end: KDP royalty calculators, a category finder, a trademark checker, and more — same free, no-signup deal.
