Draftr
Native macOS fiction writing with story bible, plot board, GitHub sync, and tiered on-device and cloud AI assistance.
Draftr is a native macOS app for long-form fiction — manuscripts, story bible, plot board, and AI assistance that respects a free-first routing model.
Your SwiftData library lives in Application Support on your Mac; optional GitHub sync keeps Markdown and structure under version control.

Story bible & plot board
Canon entries, scene-aware AI context, kanban plot cards, and a character relationship map that feeds prompts.
Tiered AI routing
On-device Foundation Models, free cloud tiers, and optional OpenRouter — with paraphrase modes, expand, proofread, and first-draft actions.
GitHub sync
Connect each project to its own repo — Markdown manuscripts, JSON plot data, pull-before-push, and conflict review when branches diverge.
