60-day free trial
If you don't have a license, Gombro will run in trial mode. The trial is exactly the same as the full version but will stop working after 60 days of use. (If you use it every day, it lasts two months; if you use it two days a week, it lasts seven months.)
Built by Raül Lilloy, professional fiction writer
“No tool matched the way I actually write. So I built one.”
— Raül Lilloy“Nothing is done alone.”
— Raúl SilanesWhat Gombro is built for
The only writing environment that treats the paragraph as the fundamental unit — and your manuscript as a living, non-linear organism.
Borgian Algebra
Inline variant branching — inspired by how Borges corrected his manuscripts: not by erasing, but by keeping multiple possibilities alive on the page simultaneously.
Right-click to resolve. Or never. Some sentences shouldn’t be decided.
Burroughs Cut-up
Burroughs and Gysin’s cut-up technique, built in. Splices a random paragraph from your own project into the current one — a controlled collision. Every source marked. Every shuffle undoable.
Use it when a paragraph feels stuck, when logic is the enemy.
Sentence Mode
Radical focus at the sentence level. Every time you write a period, Gombro isolates that sentence alone on screen. The rest of your text disappears.
This is how Hemingway thought about sentences. One true thing at a time.
Schrödinger Mode
Some text is neither one thing nor another — it hasn’t been decided. Schrödinger Mode marks those paragraphs. The ⚛ button shows how many are in quantum state. Gombro warns before compiling.
Version History
Automatic, per-paragraph version history. No manual snapshots. Every state is saved silently. Navigate, compare, and restore any prior draft — any time, any paragraph.
Nothing is ever lost. Not the sentence you deleted at 2am.
Graph View
Visual graph of paragraphs as nodes. Draw connections manually. See how your project is actually structured — not how you thought it was. Multi-select opens all chosen paragraphs simultaneously.
Sessions
Each writing session is an improvisation — a scene, a fragment, a drift. Title auto-generated from the first five words. Date stamped. Stored silently. Like a jazz session: you open the instrument, play, stop.
What you left behind is a session record: raw, alive, recoverable.
Collections
A collection stores the query, not the results. Every time you open it, it runs fresh — never stale. Your characters, motifs, hashtags: always findable, always up to date.
