Bunsho āĻā§?
Bunsho is novel-writing software for macOS and Windows that combines a manuscript editor with a continuity engine. It tracks characters, timelines, locations, objects, events, and world rules from the writer's prose, then identifies continuity errors, contradictions, timeline problems, and potential plot holes. Bunsho also includes World, Planner, Continuity, and Director Mode features to help writers organize stories, plan chapters, check character knowledge, and draft directed scenes while preserving author control.
