StoryLens is an open-source authoring environment for fiction writers. It’s a tool for serious creators who value structure, clarity, and creative control. Writers who want to use AI for editing and to take the tedium out of their work; instead of letting AI write for them.
Unlike closed writing platforms, StoryLens is designed around transparency, local-first authoring, and semantic markup. It gives authors fine-grained tools to structure their narratives, annotate meaning, and optionally collaborate with AI systems — not to generate content blindly, but to analyze, transform, and elevate their own work.
StoryLens is Git-friendly, markdown-based, and designed for inspection. Every AI interaction is visible, explainable, and optional. Writers can shape their workflow, customize prompts, run editorial checks, and build toward audio, visual, and print artifacts — all from a single source of truth.
This project is built for fiction writers — but with developers, editors, educators, and open ecosystems in mind.
