Getting Started

Sign in to Fable, create your first project, and learn your way around the workspace. Everything you need to start writing in minutes.

Signing In

Fable supports two ways to sign in:

  • Google — the quickest way. Click "Sign in with Google" and authorize in your browser.
  • Email & password — create an account with your email, a password, and a display name.

Your session persists across app restarts, so you only need to sign in once.

Your First Project

When you open Fable for the first time, you'll be guided through creating your first project. Pick an emoji icon and give it a title — this is your writing project, whether it's a novel, a screenplay, or a collection of notes.

Every project starts with one document. You can add more documents at any time — think of them as chapters, scenes, or sections of your story.

The Workspace

When you open Fable, you see three panels:

LeftCenterRight
Projects & documentsThe editorEdit history

The left sidebar shows your projects. Click into a project to see its documents. The center is your writing surface. The right sidebar shows the complete history of changes. The record bar sits above the editor for voice editing.

Both sidebars can be collapsed for a focused writing view — press Cmd+Z (or Ctrl+Z on Windows) to toggle Zen mode.

Making Your First Edit

Ready to try voice editing? Here's how:

Open a document

Start with the blank one in your new project

Press record

Click the record button in the bar above the editor, or press Cmd+R

Speak your instruction

For example, "Write the opening scene of a mystery set in Paris"

Stop recording

Click stop or press Cmd+R again

Watch your document come to life

The AI writes in real time

That's it! Your edit is saved to the history timeline on the right, with a summary of what changed. From here, you can keep refining — speak more instructions, invite collaborators, or explore the rest of Fable's features.
