About Novelcrafter
Novelcrafter is a writing platform for fiction that runs in the browser, so there is no software to install. Its Codex is a wiki for characters, places and lore that links entries automatically as you write, and a Codex can be shared across the books of a series. Several planning modes help spot plot holes and inconsistencies.
AI features connect to the model of your choice, including through OpenRouter, so writers can bring their own provider. It suits novelists of any genre who want planning, drafting and review in one place and are comfortable with a subscription after the trial.
