[macOS] Writers Studio: fiction writing with worldbuilding and continuity checks
Hi r/macapps, I’m Joshua, the solo developer of Writers Studio. I first introduced it here a couple of months ago, and I wanted to share an update: the Direct Mac edition now has a full-use, no-account 7-day trial.
Problem: long fiction projects often split the manuscript, character notes, locations, timelines, and continuity work into separate manual systems.
Compared with Scrivener and Ulysses, Writers Studio is focused on keeping structured worldbuilding and a dedicated continuity pass alongside the manuscript. It also supports local Ollama, so it is not limited to browser-based AI workflows.
Pricing:
- Mac App Store: free for the core writing workflow, with optional hosted AI allowances at $9.99 or $29.99 per month.
- Direct: $59 lifetime license for v1.x, with the no-account 7-day trial. Local Ollama and supported-provider-key workflows are available.
