Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the First Edition limited to 2,500 copies?
We believe professional tools require a dedicated relationship with their users. By limiting this release, we ensure our early adopters receive priority support and premium updates while we maintain a sustainable, subscription-free development cycle.
Do I really own the software permanently?
Absolutely. When you claim one of the 2,500 licenses, you receive a standalone version of NovelOS that lives on your machine. No monthly 'rent', no forced cloud-sync, and no risk of losing your work if a company goes under.
What happens when the 2,500 copies are gone?
The direct lifetime sale will close. Future editions may be available through our partner networks at a significantly higher retail price ($55+). The First Edition is our way of rewarding authors who believe in the vision early.
How does the Affiliate Program work?
We love our community. Once the First Edition is sold out, we'll open an exclusive portal for existing license holders to earn by sharing NovelOS with their fellow writers. Details will be shared via our roadmap.
Is my data private?
NovelOS is a local-first application. Your stories, world-building, and characters are stored on your machine. We don't have access to your creative work, ensuring 100% intellectual privacy.
How does the AI work? Do I need a subscription?
NovelOS doesn't use a central server for AI. Instead, we use a 'Bring Your Own Key' model. You provide your own API Key (e.g., Google Gemini) directly in the app. This means you only pay for what you use. If your usage stays within the provider's free tier, it's free. If you exceed it, you are billed directly by the provider (like Google), not by us.
Are there any hidden costs after the one-time payment?
None from us. Your payment covers a lifetime license for the software. However, since we don't 'rent' AI, extensive use of AI features may incur costs from your API provider if you exceed their free tiers. You have full control over your usage and costs.
Does NovelOS work offline?
Yes. For writing, plotting, and organization, NovelOS works 100% offline. You only need internet to activate AI-powered features which require a connection to the API provider's servers.
Will NovelOS write my book for me?
No. We build tools for serious authors, not automated generators. NovelOS is designed to augment your creativityβ€”helping you brainstorm, organize lore, and refine prose. It is a powerful studio for writers, but the writing itself always starts with you.
