Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Alexandre, the solo developer and author behind LocalProse. As a sci-fi writer and developer, I loved the idea of using AI as a sounding board to break writer's block. But I hated the reality : pasting my unpublished manuscripts into cloud tools, risking my intellectual property to train external models, and paying monthly subscriptions for API credits. I wanted an alternative to traditional tools like Scrivener, but without renting my brain to the cloud. So, I built LocalProse. It’s a native desktop writing studio for novelists that runs generative AI 100% locally on your own GPU/CPU. Here is what makes it different : 🔒 Absolute Privacy : Zero cloud storage. Your files stay on your hard drive, and the AI runs locally. No internet connection required. ⚡ Unlimited Usage : Because it uses your hardware, there are no API costs, no word limits, and no subscriptions for AI generation. 🕸️ Visual Worldbuilding : It automatically generates a dynamic relationship graph to help you track your characters and lore. 🛡️ Verified Safe : We just got officially validated and launched on the Microsoft Store ! I built this for authors who want modern, intelligent tools without sacrificing their data sovereignty. I’d love to hear your thoughts ! How do you currently manage your complex story bibles, and is data privacy a major concern for your creative process today ? I'll be here all day to answer your questions and talk about local LLMs ! 🚀
