novel-editor-app0.1.80

novel-editor-app lets writers draft and arrange a long-form novel while keeping story references close to the manuscript. It brings character notes, setting details, structural planning, and chapter work into one workspace instead of scattering them across separate files. The open-source project from Jeasonchen runs on Linux, requires snapd, targets x86_64 (amd64) systems, and is at version 0.1.80.

Its rich-text editor handles tables, links, code blocks, and advanced formatting controls for detailed manuscript preparation. Character profiles can include aliases and extensive details, while the world-building tools categorize locations, factions, items, and concepts. Writing statistics show word counts, estimated reading time, and how chapters are distributed across a project. Global search finds material throughout projects, and the enhanced outline supports drag-and-drop reordering alongside quick movement between sections.

Authors can use the software during drafting, revision, continuity checking, and early story planning, particularly when a novel has extensive supporting information. Excalidraw integration provides a drawing workspace, while Mermaid support creates flowcharts and sequence diagrams for visualizing plot or process relationships. Multiple themes change the editing environment, and local data storage keeps project information on the local system for privacy protection.
