A local-first workbench for novelists
Draft chapters, organise characters and places, revise with story-aware tools, and export the finished manuscript. Your project stays in an ordinary folder on your computer.
Writing tools need no account. AI beta access requires a verified account. No card required.
From first note to final file
Keep characters, places, objects, organisations, notes, and subplots beside the manuscript.
Write and reorder chapters, search the whole project, set sprints, and consult worldbuilding as you work.
Use optional critique and refinement, then export the ordered manuscript to PDF, EPUB, or DOCX.
The Auctor Philosophy
Most writing tools today want to write for you. Auctor is different. We believe the magic of a novel comes from the human heart. Our AI features act as a high-level editor and sounding board, helping you identify plot holes, refine pacing, and polish prose while keeping you firmly in the captain's chair.
