The record

Purpose: Writer Studio is an app for writing a book, keeping scenes, characters, locations, plotlines and prose together in one project.
Local files: Scenes are ordinary Markdown text files with metadata stored in JSON, so the manuscript can be read in other editors.
Offline use: The app works offline, needs no account for writing and keeps the project on the user's disk.
Structure and story wiki: It organizes manuscripts into scenes, with optional chapters and parts, and links Book Wiki cards for characters and locations to the manuscript.
Editing and revision: It includes per-scene version history, restorable trash, backups and search across manuscript text, synopses, wiki and notes.
Import and export: It imports Word documents into chapters and scenes and exports to EPUB, DOCX and FB2.
Proofreading: Its offline checker covers spelling, grammar, punctuation, style and typography in Russian and English.
AI options: AI is off until configured; users can connect providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek and Ollama, or use a compatible endpoint, and suggestions require approval before changing text.
Beta reading: Authors can share a manuscript through a private, revocable link and collect inline comments, reactions and reading analytics.
Privacy: When Authr AI is used, submitted text passes through Authr's service to its model vendor, identified in the policy as DeepSeek; the policy says request text and answers are not stored by Authr.
Support and billing: Authr Plus has no self-serve checkout; customers create an account and open a support ticket for manual activation after payment is confirmed.
Alpha and platform limits: Writer Studio is in alpha, is available for Windows, macOS and Linux, and has no mobile version.
Price from: $9.99/mo
