AI Novel Writer

Plan, draft, and revise long-form fiction in one workspace

What it does

An open-source Windows and macOS writing workspace for characters, worldbuilding, outlines, chapters, review, and revision. It supports Ollama and includes a separate DSH plugin preview. Authors keep control of the story while AI helps organize, draft, review, and revise long-form fiction.

AI Novel Writer 的完整作品介绍:把人物、世界观、章节蓝图、草稿、审稿、修稿和定稿组织成可追溯的长篇创作流程。

A local-first desktop writing workspace that connects premise, characters, worldbuilding, chapter blueprints, drafts, review, revision, and final copy into one traceable process. AI Novel Writer does not sell model access and is not an online fiction platform. It stores project state, assembles context, manages chapter blueprints and draft versions, and connects generation, review, revision, and approval. For each chapter, the workspace selects the relevant blueprint, characters, world facts, history summaries, and optional style references. The author remains responsible for the story and every accepted revision. The current release supports manuscript import, reliable continuation,…from orz.md

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

  • I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up.
