Novelcrafter is a thoughtfully designed writing environment tailored for fiction authors (and adaptable to other long-form writers) to guide stories from initial planning through to completion. It offers modular tools like drag‑and‑drop scene planning (Grid), a bird’s‑eye outline view (Matrix), and robust scene labeling (POVs, subtitles, scene archives) to map your narrative. The Codex serves as your personal story wiki—tracking characters, locations, relationships, timeline progressions, aliases, and more—while the clean, distraction‑free manuscript view supports deep scene writing and formatting ease. Optionally, you can integrate your own AI (e.g., via OpenRouter) to access multiple models, enabling features like scene summarization, scene‑beat generation, workshop chat, character detection, prompt customization, and local model support. Collaboration is supported in higher-tier plans, allowing team-based editing and sharing. Novelcrafter emphasizes writer control, privacy, and a seamless, well-organized creative workflow.
