Novus is a companion for writers, professional or hobbyist. A place to organise ideas, structure plot and develop characters. Helping you build a coherent and immersive world for your characters, and provide a source of content for connected stories.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Lamar - a software developer with a passion for crafting smooth, intuitive tools for engineers and creatives alike. As a hobbyist writer, I've always wanted a tool that could help me construct vast, fictional worlds where my stories could unfold. Frustrated by the limitations of existing tools—either too blank or too rigid—I was driven to create something better. That's how Novus was born.
Novus was created with the simple notion that a story idea can unlock a universe that can span more than one book. With timelines and multiple projects with folder structures, you can effortlessly sort and rearrange complex story arcs and get a high-level perspective on your stories and each character's journey.
Novus is more than just an app; it's a testament to my journey as a developer and writer. It's designed to be the ultimate companion for sci-fi and fantasy storytellers, enabling you to:
- Effortlessly draft and edit with a comprehensive rich text editor.
- Access a variety of document templates for characters, groups, locations, and more.
- Develop timelines, world events, and story arcs with an intuitive plot document.
- Seamlessly cross-reference characters and other documents within your narrative.
- Engage with the 'Wizard' to be prompted about different aspects of your character.
- Add images to documents to keep the inspiration flowing.
I'm excited to announce that Novus is available today on the Apple Store!

This is awesome. Planning to write a book at some point, and something like this could be so useful! Congrats on the launch
Congratulations on the launch! :-) Looks like a very useful product. Is there a web version planned for Novus? Maybe this gives away my age, but I tend to write anything longer than an email on a laptop/desktop rather than on a mobile device.
Novus is a game-changer for worldbuilding! It lets you push the boundaries between imagination and reality, crafting intricate universes that break the mold. The depth of the toolset is phenomenal – you can develop every aspect of your story, from sweeping landscapes to characters with unique quirks.
Bravo to the creators of this incredible platform! @scybz

The struggle to organize ideas, structure plots, and develop characters is something many of us face daily, whether we're writing professionally or as a hobbyist. Novus seems like the perfect solution to these challenges.
Both the concept and implementation look well though-out, great job and congrats on launch!
