Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
AI features require separately installing Ollama and a local language model, the core app works without them.
Autorenprogramm is a German language Windows desktop app built for people writing complex novels. It brings together several tools an author would otherwise juggle separately: a way to structure a manuscript into parts, chapters, and scenes, an editor for writing those scenes, a project bible for keeping track of characters, places, and objects, a search feature across the whole project, and export to Markdown or Word documents. The app also offers an optional local AI writing assistant. Instead of sending text to a cloud AI service, it connects to Ollama, a program that runs AI language models directly on the user's own computer. When set up, this local AI can chat about the writing, suggest improvements to a passage, summarize a scene, or check for contradictions in the story. This is an early, unsigned test release meant for volunteers trying it out, not a finished product. The developer recommends working on copies or test projects and saving backups often, since the software has not yet been reviewed or verified in the way finished software normally is. Windows may show a security warning during installation because of this, and users are told to only continue if the file name, source, and checksum all match what is expected. The app only runs on Windows 10 or 11 and needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 component, which Windows usually already has installed. The optional AI features additionally require installing Ollama and at least one language model separately, since neither is bundled with the installer. All the non-AI features work without Ollama. On privacy, the developer states the app has no tracking and does not connect to any cloud service. Any AI requests stay on the user's own machine through Ollama, and the current version has no way to enter cloud addresses or API keys. The project's source code is visible to look at but is not open source. It can only be used under a specific evaluation license included with the project, not the more open licenses common in this kind of software.
