Chapter & Scene Management

Organize your manuscript into chapters and subdivide into scenes. The collapsible sidebar tree lets you navigate complex manuscripts with ease — drag to reorder, rename, or add chapters and scenes at any time.

Version History & Crash Recovery

Automatic timestamped snapshots let you browse your manuscript's evolution and restore any previous version. Write-ahead journaling means you can recover unsaved changes if Wordsmithy ever closes unexpectedly.

No AI Inside — Your Writing Stays Private

Wordsmithy was developed with the assistance of AI coding tools — but no AI or LLMs are used inside the app itself. It runs entirely offline and never sends your writing to the cloud, contacts external servers, or queries online services. Your words stay on your machine, always.
