Getting started

All Writer helps you plan and write long-form work—novels, papers, technical docs—with a tree outline, Markdown editor, and an AI Agent that respects your project rules.

Requirements

Windows desktop

  • Windows 10 or later (x64)
  • 4 GB RAM or more recommended

Web app

  • A modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari)
  • Network for AI features

macOS / Linux

Coming later—see the changelog.

Install or open web

  1. Desktop: download from the Download page and run the Windows installer.
  2. Web: use Web app on the same page—no install, full core features.

First project

  1. Create a new project and name it.
  2. Use the outline to add folders/files (chapters, sections).
  3. Add @system notes for style, characters, or terminology—the Agent reads them.
  4. Open the AI panel on the right to chat, plan, and apply edits (with diff review).

Learn the UI in depth in Interface, then continue with AI assistant.

Outline & @system (short)

  • Outline — your manuscript is a tree: drag nodes, fold sections, stay focused.
  • @system/ — put style guides, character sheets, and glossaries here so the Agent stays consistent.
