Getting Started

Sign in to Fable, create your first project, and make your first AI edit by typing or speaking. Everything you need to start in minutes.

Signing In

Fable supports two ways to sign in:

  • Google โ€” the quickest way. Click "Sign in with Google" and authorize in your browser.
  • Email & password โ€” 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 โ€” a project holds related documents, whether it's a report, a proposal, a book, or a collection of notes.

Every project starts with one document. You can add more documents at any time, or import files you already have โ€” think of them as chapters or sections.

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 instruction bar sits above the editor: type what should change, or press record and say it.

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

Making Your First Edit

Ready to make your first edit? Here's how:

Open a document

Start with the blank one in your new project, or import a file you already have

Type or speak your instruction

Type in the box above the editor (Cmd+K jumps there) and press Enter โ€” or press record (Cmd+R), say it, and press Cmd+R again to stop

Try something like

"Write a one-page project brief for a new onboarding flow" or "Make the second paragraph shorter"

Watch the edit happen

The AI writes or edits in real time

That's it! Your edit is saved to the history timeline on the right, with a summary of what changed, and you can undo it from there. From here, you can keep refining with more instructions, ask the project assistant a question, invite collaborators, or explore the rest of Fable's features.
