Novelcrafter

Novelcrafter is an all-in-one novel writing suite that offers tools, advice and AI help to help you create your story with ease. With a personal Wiki called the Codex, multiple writing modes and AI features, Novelcrafter can help you write from start to finish.

The Codex is a knowledge base where you can store information about characters, locations, objects, lore and other details. It's also a centralized hub that keeps track of references and mentions in scenes, chats and other elements of the story so you can keep everything consistent. The Codex can be shared across multiple books in a series, so you don't have to enter the same information multiple times.

Novelcrafter includes a number of key features:

• Plan: A Story Board for organizing and outlining your story.
• Write: A distraction-free Manuscript view for writing.
• Tinker: A Workshop for brainstorming new ideas and chatting with an AI about your project.
• Review: Statistics and insights about your writing, such as word counts and characters per scene.
• Outlining Tools: Detailed tools for creating detailed outlines.
• Revision History: A record of changes to your writing over time.
• Tags and Labels: A way to categorize your work with customizable tags and labels.

These features are designed to work for both planners and pantsers, as the Codex learns your writing style and needs.

Novelcrafter is notable for letting you control AI context and prompt settings, so you can use your own models or tap into services like OpenAI and OpenRouter. Local models are also supported, so you can use your own models and keep your work private.

Pricing is designed to be fair and flexible:

• Scribe: $4/month, includes the basics and unlimited books.
• Hobbyist: $8/month, adds AI integration and workshop features.
• Artisan: $14/month, includes advanced review features and workshop chat.
• Specialist: $20/month, adds collaborative writing and shared series/universes.

A 14-day free trial is available for all plans, and no credit card is required. Novelcrafter promises transparent pricing with no special sales or promotions, instead focusing on delivering value for money.

For authors who want a full-featured writing environment, Novelcrafter offers tools to help you streamline the creative process and be more productive. With flexible AI integration and collaborative features, it can accommodate a variety of writing needs. For those who want to take their novel from start to finish with less hassle, Novelcrafter is a useful tool.
