The modern, open-source writing studio for authors.
Storyteller is a powerful desktop application designed to replace the outdated interfaces of traditional writing software. It combines the distraction-free environment of a simple text editor with the complex world-building tools needed for full-length novels and series.
Built for the modern web era, it prioritizes user experience (UI/UX), speed, and complete customizability.
- Series & Books: Organize your work not just by chapters, but by entire series. Keep multiple books linked within the same context.
- Hierarchy: Drag-and-drop structure for Parts, Chapters, and Scenes.
- Rich Text Experience: Offering a smooth, Notion-like writing experience without the lag.
- Distraction-Free Mode: Focus solely on your words when you need to.
- Split View & Multi-Tab: Open multiple scenes, character sheets, or notes side-by-side.
- Customizable Layout: Rearrange the workspace to fit your workflow. Keep your character list pinned to the right while writing on the left.
- Character Database: Detailed profiles for your cast. Track appearance, backstory, and relationships.
