The record

What it does: Cambric is a desktop app for writing and producing text-led books, from an editable manuscript through print PDF and EPUB 3 exports.
Manuscript import: It imports DOCX manuscripts from Word, Google Docs, or a Scrivener DOCX compile.
Book structure: The writing workflow organizes a manuscript into parts, chapters, and front and back matter.
Interior design: The app offers more than 20 coordinated interior templates and a live typeset page preview.
Print output: Cambric exports fixed-page print PDFs for paperback and hardcover workflows, with trim, margins, and page flow settings.
Ebook output: Cambric exports reflowable EPUB 3 from the same structured manuscript used for print.
Retailer workflows: The maker lists Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo Writing Life, Google Play Books, Barnes & Noble Press, Draft2Digital, and Lulu as destinations for release checks.
Local storage: The maker says manuscripts, project files, PDFs, and EPUBs are stored locally, with no cloud sync, remote storage, or app telemetry.
Internet needs: The core writing, formatting, preview, and export workflow runs locally, while purchasing, initial download, and license-related services require internet access.
Platforms: Desktop builds are available for 64-bit Windows and macOS 12 Monterey or later on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Limits: The maker says Cambric is not designed for collaborative live browser editing, freeform magazine or catalog layouts, or highly illustrated and complex textbook composition.
Retailer acceptance: The maker says it cannot guarantee retailer acceptance and advises users to validate files, inspect retailer previews, and proof print editions.
Refund support: The license includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the maker directs refund requests to its support email within 30 days of purchase.
Intended users: Cambric is aimed at independent authors producing text-led books, especially series authors and authors expecting to publish multiple releases.
