The harbour had emptied by the time Irene reached the customs house, and the lamps along the quay were already guttering in the wind.
She had rehearsed the lie for three days. It still did not sound like something she would say.
Behind her, the bell of St. Anne's counted out the hour, and she understood that whatever she said next would be the thing he remembered her by.
Everything you actually use Sudowrite for
Codex + Auto Codex
Characters, locations, lore and world rules, linked across the whole manuscript and fed to the AI automatically, so chapter thirty is as informed as chapter one. And you do not file the entries yourself: finish a chapter, press once, and Auto Codex updates the codex with the new characters and events.
Assistant chat + interview any character
Ask the assistant to find every mention of the sword or summarise each scene a character appears in, and it searches the manuscript and acts. Or drop into the character and ask why she lied and what frightens her — answers that stay consistent with the codex you already wrote her into.
Plan the acts, then let it review the draft
Lay the novel out in acts and scenes with word counts and status on each, then point the built-in review system at the finished manuscript: POV slips, continuity breaks, dialogue balance, pacing and the phrase you have used nine times without noticing.
No subscription, and no Wi-Fi either
Run a model in Ollama or LM Studio and the whole app works with the Wi-Fi off, so the manuscript never reaches anyone's server. Nothing is metered, nothing renews, and the app keeps working whether or not you ever pay us again. Prefer a frontier model? Bring your own key and pay only the tokens.
$149 once, against
$348 a year forever
One price for every novel you will ever write. Five years on Professional is $1,740, every year of it a renewal. Novel Mage is $149 once, and it keeps working whether or not you ever pay us again.
