CHAPTER THREE

Through Elderwood

Crayen went bounding through the forest, the wet fern fronds brushing his knees. He had promised Elara he would reach the Boundary Oak before dusk. West, the needle said. He did not trust it.

CONTINUITY

The draft sends Crayen west — accepted geography places the Boundary Oak northeast.

Knowledge

Hover a name.
Know your world.

Every character, place, and fact lives beside the page. Rest your cursor on a name and the accepted facts appear — resolved from your project's own knowledge, deterministically, in milliseconds. No prompt. No tokens. No waiting.

  • Characters, locations, events — and your own record types
  • Facts carry scope and provenance — which scene, whose truth
  • Works fully with AI switched off

Continuity

Catch the contradiction before your readers do.

Publighter checks what you write against what your world already knows — geography, timelines, who was where, who knows what. Contradictions, repeated phrases, and mixed-up scopes get flagged as you type, with the receipts linked. Deterministic checks, so they work even with AI off.

AI & privacy

AI on your machine.
Private by default.

Connect a model running on your own computer — Ollama, LM Studio, or any compatible server — and your manuscript never leaves it. Prefer the cloud? Provider, model, and cost are shown before every request, with hard budget stops. Every AI result stays private to you until you choose to share it.

  • Local requests never silently fall back to the cloud
  • Recall and continuity tools don't need AI at all

Drafting privately — nothing leaves this computer

Collaboration

Everyone in the manuscript. No one on your toes.

Write together with live cursors, anchored comments, and tracked suggestions. A reviewer's proposal never touches your canonical text until an editor accepts it — enforced by the server, not by etiquette. Undo stays yours: reverting your work never reverts theirs.

Versions & publishing

From draft to DOCX, EPUB, and PDF.

Name a version before the big revision and restore it safely later — history is never thrown away. When it's time to ship, readiness checks catch missing metadata, broken links, and lost citations before your manuscript becomes a file someone else opens.

Templates

One studio, every shape of writing.
