Epistla Bindery

Make books like you mean it.

Bindery turns a finished manuscript into validated EPUBs and print-ready PDFs, the files real distributors require. After the writing. Before the distribution.

In beta Mac and Windows

A complete publishing pipeline

  • EPUB 3.2

    Clean HTML, embedded fonts and proper navigation, with THEMA metadata.

  • Print-ready PDF

    LaTeX typesetting with proper margins, hyphenation and spreads, for IngramSpark, KDP and offset.

  • Bring your book in

    Import from Markdown, Obsidian, Ulysses, Scrivener compile, Word or EPUB.

  • Fast, native, offline

    Built with Tauri and Rust, and it works without a network. Your project stays in your own folder.

A workspace for building books

Three panes keep everything in view: browse your chapters and assets, process your Markdown, YAML, CSS and metadata, and build with a click.

Include or exclude chapters, reorder them by dragging, and see live word counts. Project settings are saved with your book, ready for version control.
