Scríob
Scríob is a context-aware novel-writing and world-building studio for Windows, Linux, and macOS. Write in a distraction-free editor, keep every character, place, and faction straight in a relational story wiki, and plot it all on an infinite canvas — with your manuscript staying on your machine by default.
Free to write, forever. Sync is the only thing you pay for.
Every part of Scríob is built around one idea: your story's details shouldn't live in your head, and they shouldn't leave your machine either.
Point it at your own model — Ollama or Apple Intelligence — and nothing leaves your machine. Get inline lore auto-linking, wiki consistency checks, chapter synopses, and prose critiques for purple passages or sagging tension. It flags issues; it never writes your manuscript for you.
Storyboard visually. Drop lore cards and notes onto an infinite pan-and-zoom board, connect them with labeled threads, and chat with the Storyboarding Buddy to turn your own brainstorming into structured cards.
Every character, faction, and location lives in a structured, relational wiki, and every card shows the chapters it appears in.
A clean split-screen editor keeps your manuscript on one side and relevant lore on the other, with known names highlighted inline so continuity errors surface before you finish the sentence.
Bring your own model (Ollama or Apple Intelligence) — or subscribe to Collaboration for our hosted assistant.
As you type, known card names and aliases are matched instantly. Unrecognized proper nouns come back as "create card" suggestions, and near-matches as "link" suggestions — your story bible fills itself in from suggestions you approve.
Link characters, factions, and places with labeled, directional relationships. Every card automatically shows what references it back, so your world stays consistent as it grows.
Local editing is free, forever. Pay only for the cloud features that carry your work between devices and people.
