Why LocalProse ?
Rediscover the pleasure of deep writing.
- ✍️ On-demand assistant : Stuck ? Ask the AI to correct a paragraph, rewrite a passage, suggest what comes next, or perform a consistency audit to ensure your chapter aligns with your narrative goals.
- 🧭 The right to waste : Test 50 variations of a sentence if you want. No counter is ticking. No tokens running out. Your creativity doesn't cost you extra.
- 🗺️ Master your universe : Never lose the thread. Create detailed profiles for Characters, Locations and Items, and visualize interactions on a relational map. The AI uses this atlas to assist you with surgical precision.
- 🎙️ Speak, it's written ! Dictate your scenes at the speed of thought. Capture your ideas by voice using a built-in transcription engine. No external listening. It's just you and your machine.
- 🔒 A sanctuary, not a Cloud : Your drafts, fragile ideas, and deletions stay on your hard drive. The AI runs locally. No one reads over your shoulder.
End the mental burden
Credit-based systems force us to ration our thoughts and calculate every prompt. LocalProse removes this barrier : it is YOUR machine doing the work. AI usage is truly unlimited.
Data sovereignty
Your drafts are fragile and personal. They shouldn't feed external databases. Internet is only used to verify your license. Everything else—writing, generation, storage—belongs to your machine.
An interface designed for writers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a powerful graphics card ?
No, but it helps. LocalProse is optimized to run on modern CPUs. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card or a Mac M1-M4 (Apple Silicon), the AI will be fast. On a standard office PC, it will be functional but slightly slower. Options (model choice, memory size) are available in settings to match the software to your machine's power.
Can I test the AI before paying ?
Absolutely. We offer a 7-day trial period upon activating the Pro subscription. This gives you free access to all AI features (correction, rewriting, inspiration, universe management, analysis). It's the best way to verify that your computer is powerful enough to run local intelligence before investing.
Is there a 100% free version ?
Yes. If you decide not to keep the Pro subscription after the trial, LocalProse remains an excellent structured text editor with Focus mode and project management, but without generative AI features.
Do my texts train the AI ?
No. That is the very reason LocalProse exists. Everything related to designing your projects happens locally on your device for total confidentiality. Technically, the security layer handling rights and subscriptions (user account) is independent of the editing and analysis functions that utilize your machine's capabilities locally. Nothing you write in LocalProse ever leaves your machine.
Where can I find help or chat with other authors ?
Join the augmented authors' HQ on our official Discord server. It's the perfect place to get live technical support, suggest new features, and share tips with other writers. The invitation is available here : Join the LocalProse Discord.
The craftsman behind the workshop
I designed LocalProse for authors who want to leverage the best of AI without sacrificing the confidentiality of their work or their creative independence.
I know how frustrating it is to have your momentum broken by a credit system, or to wonder where your texts really go when using online tools.
LocalProse brings together these two freedoms — a private workshop running locally on your own machine and unlimited usage without artificial quotas — so that AI becomes what it should be : a tool at the service of writing, not another constraint.
