I've been around, and tried a lot of writing apps - from Notion, Novlr, Scrivener etc. But most were either too complex, outdated or just didn't have the right flair. So I tried my hand at building my own writing application.
THIS IS NOT AN AI WRITING APP. IT DOES NOT WRITE FOR YOU. There is, however, AI components that helps you take NOTES for you. That's the main shtick with this app. You are free to write to your hearts content, and the AI acts as a friend over the shoulder who keeps notes of characters, locations, relationships and any other trivia about the world you are building.
Anyone interested in trying it out give me a shout out here - I'd appreciate some constructive feedback.
I will be using this myself to write my own stories so I will be updating this post with my own findings and thoughts and I hope it can be genuinely helpful to someone out there.
NOTE - There is a free tier which allows you to use the AI features at a limited rate!

See Your Story World
Writing a novel means holding a lot in your head. Characters, locations, how everyone connects. It can get overwhelming when your story grows beyond a handful of chapters.
The Board View takes all your story elements and lays them out on an infinite canvas. Instead of scrolling through lists, you're looking at a map.
1. What You Can Do
•View characters, locations, and plot threads as cards
•See relationships as connecting lines between elements
•Drag and arrange elements however makes sense to you
•Spot patterns and gaps in your story structure
2. This is Just the Beginning
We want to be honest. The Board View is new, and there's more we want to do with it. Finer controls, better grouping, smarter auto-arrangement. This is a first version. It works, but it will get better.
Share Your Thoughts
If you try the Board View and have feedback, we'd love to hear from you. What works? What feels clunky? Drop us a note at writeinatlas@gmail.com.

Small Fixes, Big Difference
We've been heads-down on Atlas, shipping updates and squashing bugs. This isn't a flashy new feature announcement. It's a quick note about the kinds of improvements that make the app feel more reliable and pleasant to use.
1. Better Autosave and Offline Support
Writing doesn't always happen with a stable internet connection. Maybe you're on a train, at a coffee shop with spotty WiFi, or your router decides to take a break.
We've improved how Atlas handles these moments:
2. What's Improved
•Your work saves to your device automatically, even when offline
•When you reconnect, everything syncs back seamlessly
•No more unexpected error messages when the connection drops
3. UI and Experience Tweaks
•Better text contrast in dark mode
•Improved header and footer consistency across pages
If you want to follow along with what we're building, we've started a Substack publication. It's where we'll share product updates, writing tips, and the occasional behind-the-scenes look at building Atlas.

More to Come
We're working on some bigger things we're not quite ready to share yet. For now, we're focused on making what exists work better.
