Every tool a novelist needs. Built in.
Novel Mage ships a complete AI writing toolkit local models, cloud AI, voice matching, world-building, character development, and more. One app, one price, fully offline.
Your API key. No markup. Full control.
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter with your own API key. You pay the provider directly no token pool, no Novel Mage surcharge, no usage caps. Switch models per task to balance cost and quality.
Learn more →Save your genre. Apply it everywhere.
Write reusable system prompts for each genre, character voice, or task type. Apply them to generation, chat, and rewrites in one click so the AI always knows the tone, conventions, and constraints of your current project.
Learn more →AI output that sounds like you wrote it.
Feed Novel Mage samples of your own prose and it builds a reusable voice preset sentence rhythm, vocabulary level, dialogue style, what to avoid. Apply it to any generation and the AI writes in your register, not its own.
Learn more →Ask questions about your own story.
Chat with an AI that has read your manuscript and codex. Ask about plot consistency, brainstorm what happens next, or stress-test a story decision grounded in your actual characters and world, not generic writing advice.
Learn more →Talk to your characters. Discover what they hide.
Select any character from your codex and open an interview session. The AI agent responds as that character drawing on their established profile. Ask about motives, secrets, fears, or the events of your story from their perspective.
Learn more →Context-aware generation that knows your novel.
Place your cursor and generate. Novel Mage loads your chapter context, codex, summaries, system prompt, and voice preset before sending a single token. The output continues your story not a generic story that looks like yours.
Learn more →Expand, shorten, or rewrite any passage.
Select any text and choose your operation. Expand adds depth, sensory detail, and pacing. Shorten tightens and removes redundancy. Rewrite reconceives the phrasing while preserving intent. All three respect your Writer's Voice and system prompt.
Learn more →The AI that remembers Chapter 1 in Chapter 20.
Generate and edit summaries for scenes, chapters, and acts. These feed directly into Novel Mage's context system so every generation and chat call benefits from a compressed understanding of your full story, not just the last few pages.
Learn more →Change a name. Fix a fact. Across 100,000 words.
Find & Replace operates across every chapter and scene simultaneously. Case-sensitive, whole-word matching with a full preview before committing. A change log tracks every replacement so you can undo selectively.
Learn more →A lorebook that feeds your AI automatically.
Build characters, locations, factions, and lore as structured entries. When you write a scene featuring a codex entity, Novel Mage injects their profile into the AI context automatically so generated prose never contradicts your world-building.
Learn more →Your novel stays on your machine. Full stop.
Run any Ollama or LM Studio model locally Llama 3, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek, and more. No internet required, no API costs, no token limits, no training on your manuscript. Mix local and cloud AI per task within the same project.
Learn more →Every connection in your world, mapped.
The Relationship Map draws every character, location, and connection in your Codex as a graph, built automatically from the relationships you've already written no separate diagram to maintain.
Learn more →Find the contradiction before your reader does.
Continuity Check reads your finished chapters against each other and your Codex, flagging the scar that moved hands, the funeral referenced before it happens the errors a first-draft brain never catches.
Learn more →See your manuscript, measured.
POV balance, dialogue-to-narration ratio, pacing, and show vs. tell all the patterns a human editor would eventually flag, visible now, plus the word you've used nine times without noticing.
Learn more →Invent a word. It holds for 400 pages.
Define your own vocabulary conlang terms, honorifics, invented words and Novel Mage applies it consistently across the whole manuscript, paired with a dictionary that stops spellcheck flagging your own names.
Learn more →Runs fully local via Ollama or LM Studio or connect BYOK (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Google).
