Folio Writer

Manuscript chat for writers

Write your story in conversation with AI

Folio Writer pairs a focused chat with a live manuscript preview — chapters and scenes grow as you and the model work together. Use your own API keys, invite friends, export when you're ready.

Built for long-form fiction

Everything stays in one workspace — chat, structure, and prose side by side.

Chat-first drafting

Steer the LLM like a writing partner. Messages stream in real time while the agent updates scenes and keeps context compact when threads grow long.

Live manuscript

Chapters and scenes appear beside the conversation. Jump between structure and prose without losing the thread of your story.

Your models, your keys

Connect OpenRouter, OpenAI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Keys are encrypted at rest — you control cost and model choice per project.

Write together

Invite friends to a shared chat, manage roles, and keep everyone on the same manuscript with typing indicators and push notifications.

Export to DOCX

Download a formatted manuscript with a table of contents when you're ready to share with editors, beta readers, or print workflows.

Web & Android

Use Folio in the browser at app.foliowriter.com or install the Android app — same account, same stories, native downloads and notifications.

How it works

From blank page to structured draft in three steps.

  1. 1

    Create a manuscript

    Start a new story, pick your LLM provider, and set the language you want the model to write in.

  2. 2

    Chat and iterate

    Describe beats, revise tone, rewind messages, and let the agent draft scenes into your manuscript as you go.

  3. 3

    Share and export

    Invite collaborators when you want a room, then export DOCX when the draft is ready for the next stage.
