What Novvler is
Novvler is a writing app for novelists to draft, import, organize, and export manuscripts while tracking which words are theirs. The workspace brings together manuscript editing, chapters, sections, outlines, plot ideas, and character and world-building cards that can be linked to the manuscript. Switch between editing, a visual corkboard, and spreadsheet views. Its AI models include Orca for drafting and brainstorming and Narwhal for deeper prose; Narwhal uses three times the AI word credits per request. Export options are EPUB, DOCX, Markdown, and plain text. After opening a project online, you can read and edit it offline, with changes syncing when connectivity returns. AI tools require an internet connection. Novvler is available on the web and for iPhone and iPad, with projects syncing between the app and web workspace. The free plan includes unlimited writing and editing, all card types, exports, spellcheck, version snapshots, and 2,000 AI words per month. AI pauses when that monthly allowance is reached, though writing can continue. Pro costs $9.00 per month and includes 15,000 AI words per month, an AI grammar and style check, and priority support.
