Point it at a local model or add an API key for a cloud provider.
Generate scenes, outlines, or edits while keeping your own voice in charge.
Polish the output and export clean text ready for publishing.
Tracks characters, plot, and facts across chapters and drafts.
Tunes tone and voice so the output sounds like you, not a robot.
Works with local models or your own API keys for cloud LLMs.
Outlines, scenes, and chapters stay organized as you write.

Get clean text out for publishing, printing, or sharing.
Download the source and move into the project folder.

cat README.md | head -60Follow the project’s launch command — Docker, pip, npm, or a binary release.
# see README for the exact launch commandMost tools let you tune style and review every line — the AI drafts, you decide what stays.
MIT licensed — you can use it commercially with attribution.
Many tools support local models for free; cloud models need your own API key and are billed by the provider.
Local-first tools never upload your drafts. With cloud models, your text goes to the provider — check their data policy.
