Local
Your manuscripts live on your machine in standard formats. No cloud dependency, no account required, no subscription to access your own work. If this software disappeared tomorrow, every word you’ve written would still be there.
Writer Studio
A writing desk for fiction.
This is an alpha release. Core functionality works, but you may encounter bugs, incomplete features, and breaking changes between versions. Your data is safe — manuscripts are standard files on your machine.
Writer Studio is a desktop writing app for fiction authors. It runs on your computer — not in a browser, not on a remote server. Your manuscripts are local files in formats you can read without this software.
It organizes work into the natural structure of narrative — acts, chapters, scenes — and includes AI tools for proofreading and continuity that assist without overstepping. A novel writing tool built for the craft.
Structured
Fiction has architecture. A novel contains acts; acts contain chapters; chapters contain scenes. Writer Studio understands this hierarchy without imposing it. Begin with a blank page or build from an outline. The structure serves the story.
Intelligent
AI tools for the craft — proofreading, continuity checking, research. They work alongside the writer: identifying inconsistencies, tracking details across chapters, suggesting improvements to prose. Assistance that respects your voice.
Measured
Daily word targets, writing streaks, session tracking. A statistics dashboard shows your pace — words per hour, weekly heatmap, book progress. Set a goal, write toward it, build the habit. The numbers serve the practice.
Complete
Characters with depth — profiles, arcs, relationships. Import from Markdown and plain text. Export to EPUB, DOCX, or Markdown with front matter, back matter, and table of contents. From draft to manuscript, without leaving the desk.
Free. macOS, Windows, Linux.
