Author Notebook is a local-first writing app built for long-form fiction authors. It helps you organize chapters, characters, worldbuilding, plot notes, and story ideas in one place. Instead of scattering everything across documents and note apps, writers can plan and write inside a dedicated workspace. It also supports English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m the maker of Author Notebook.
I built this because writing fiction often becomes messy very quickly — chapters in one place, character notes in another, and worldbuilding scattered across documents or apps. I wanted a dedicated space where fiction writers could keep everything together and continue writing without losing track of their story.
Author Notebook is a local-first writing app designed for long-form fiction. You can organize chapters, characters, plot notes, and worldbuilding in one place, while keeping your writing workflow more focused and structured. It also supports English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
I’d love to hear what features matter most to you as a writer, and what tools you currently use to organize your stories. Thanks for checking it out!
Love that it's local-first, that's a big deal for me. One thing that would make it even better is a distraction-free fullscreen mode that hides everything except the current chapter text, so I can really get into the zone when drafting long scenes.
