Writers Studio
The professional writing app for novelists, screenwriters, and authors — built natively for macOS.
Manuscript management, AI-powered assistance, worldbuilding, character profiles, continuity checking, and multi-format export — all in one app.
Bring Your Own AI
Writers Studio supports Ollama (free, local), OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and Google Gemini for AI-powered writing features. The $9.99 purchase includes the full app — AI features require your own API keys or a locally running Ollama instance. You can use Writers Studio without AI — all core writing, manuscript management, and worldbuilding features work without any AI provider configured.
