How it works

The work rolls downhill.

DraftNado is built on one idea: the story should be pulled forward by gravity — never the author herded like a boulder. Four mechanics make every session feel like momentum.

1

Seed → extrapolate → lock

Start with a spark. DraftNado proposes the next beat, character, or paragraph. Like it? Lock it. Don't? Re-roll — every generated block, instantly, until it's yours.

2

The Process keeps you on task

There's always exactly one obvious next action. No blank page, no decision paralysis — just the next move, surfaced for you, every time you open the app.

3

Cascade keeps it consistent

Change a character's secret or a plot fact and DraftNado re-indexes the context — so the next thing it writes already knows. Continuity, handled.

4

Memories that compound

Your taste is learned as you go. Lock enough choices and the suggestions start sounding like you — across this story and every story after it.

The Studio

Illustrate every scene.

DraftNado doesn't stop at words. Generate character portraits that auto-attach to your World Bible, illustrate any scene, stage a net-new group photo, or break a scene into manga panels — all in a consistent visual style you set once.

The World Bible

A world that remembers.

Seven kinds of entity — characters, places, items, factions and more — each one generate / lock / re-roll. Lock a detail and it ripples everywhere it matters, so your hundredth chapter is as consistent as your first.

Local-first & private

Your story never leaves your device.

Your manuscript, World Bible, and plot live in a local database and work fully offline. Backup is your own iCloud — we host none of your IP. The only thing the cloud ever touches is the AI request, and even that you can route through your own keys.

Offline by default

SQLite on-device. No account required to write.

Zero IP stored

The backend is stateless — it does AI work, then forgets.

Your keys, your call

Bring your own model keys, or let us host them.

Pricing

Own DraftNado outright — half price at launch — and bring your own AI keys, so token costs are billed by your provider at cost. Or subscribe and let us host the AI, passing usage through at cost. The only thing we ever add is the price below.

FAQ

Asked & answered.

Is my writing used to train AI?+
No. Your manuscript, world, and plot live on your device and back up to your own iCloud. The backend is stateless — it does the AI work for a request and keeps nothing. We host none of your IP.
Does it really work offline?+
Writing, your World Bible, plotting, and reading all work fully offline — they run on a local database. The only thing that needs a connection is generating new text or art, since that calls a model.
Can I use my own model keys?+
Yes. Own DraftNado and you can bring keys for the providers you like — you pay them directly, at cost, with no markup from us. Prefer not to manage keys? Subscribe and we host text, image, and voice, passing the LLM usage through at provider cost.
Novels or manga?+
Both, in one workflow. Write prose, switch to screenplay or comic-script formats, and use the Studio to illustrate scenes or break them into manga panels — with a consistent visual style you set once.
When can I use it?+
