Getting Started with Odyssey

Sign up or log in

Odyssey is a web-based writing application. Start by visiting the Odyssey app and signing up with your email. You can also use your GitHub account to sign in if you prefer.

A 14-day free trial is included — no credit card required. You can cancel anytime during the trial.

Create your first document

Once logged in, you'll see your dashboard with a list of documents. Click "New document" to create your first writing project.

Give it a name and description. You can organize documents into folders and collections later.

The editor interface

The editor is split into three areas:

  • Left sidebar — Your document outline and recent notes
  • Canvas — Your writing area, with a clean typographic focus
  • Right panel — AI suggestions, collaboration info, and export options

Start typing to begin writing. Formatting is available through the toolbar, or use markdown shortcuts.

First features to explore

  • AI suggestions — Begin typing a sentence and watch for blue suggestions at your cursor. Press Tab to accept, Esc to dismiss.
  • Export — Once you've written something, try exporting to Markdown, PDF, or Word from the right panel.
  • Collaboration — Invite another writer to edit the same document in real-time by clicking the share icon.
