Pendraic

Pendraic is a long-form fiction writing tool for keeping a book's characters, world, voice and story details together. The editor provides prose, outline and arcs views, with optional panels for character lookups, voice consistency, beats and unresolved threads. Planning and revision are organized into eight areas: Promise, Engine, Nexus, Dynamics, Registry, Anchors, Iterations and Closure. Its World Builder links maps, family trees, calendars, languages, timelines and encyclopedia entries to the prose. Listed AI options include Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and OpenRouter, using either a user's account or a Pendraic Managed AI wallet. When a user starts an AI generation pass, the prompt and needed context go to the chosen provider under that provider's terms. Pendraic says saved files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and that it does not train models on users' writing or sell their content. The Free plan supports up to three active books and includes Word, Markdown and plain-text exports. Pendraic runs on macOS, Windows and the web; paid plans start at $14.99/mo.
