Novel Writing: Candlelight

About this app

Write works of fiction with the help of Ember Glow. This app aims to respect writers who just want to write, no AI bells and whistle, but also creatives who want to explore and tinker with AI for themselves. With an aim of respecting the various styles of writing, this app incorporates three methods of using AI: Level 1: None. You still get (free): * An outline you can fill out manually to brainstorm and keep track of your thoughts, the Story Bible. It has sections for characters, themes, world building, plot outlines, and more. * A fully-featured rich text editor. * The ability to transform your book into a PDF. * Organization of your work into chapters or sections that you can rearrange. * You can remove the sidebars for a focused, full-screen writing experience. Level 2: Some AI: * Each section of the Story Bible lets you provide a prompt where to generate that portion of the core. And it's all editable afterwards, of course. * You also get a section of the app that provides narrative autocomplete, meaning the app understands the whole context of all you have written, including the Story Bible and summaries of your writing thus far, to help unblock you or give you ideas of what to write (or if you please, ideas of what not to write; doing the opposite of generative suggestions is very much an option). Level 3: Full * Create an entire novelette for you to either enjoy on your own, or to flesh out into a richer story. * Generate in one shot, or create the draft based on your Story Bible.

New and improved layout, especially on iPad. Bug fixes.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
