𐳌 Core Capabilities

Built for Serious Authors

Every tool in FleshNote is made to make writing a book easier, while not letting letting you get lost in writing notes. FleshNote is designed in a way that your actually finished writings will support and generate your notes and worldbuilding, not the other way around, while keeping you in flow.

𐳌

The Janitor

Write now, edit later. The built-in Janitor actively reads your chapters in the background without interrupting your flow. It will suggest existing characters to your writing, suggest alias linking, and checks for missing sensory descriptions (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste), flags weak adverbs/passive voice, and evaluates pacing readability. All offline, without AI

Sprint Modes

Gamify drafting with un-exitable Focus Modes: Hemingway Mode disables backspacing so you can only charge forward, Zen Mode grows a procedural tree as you hit word count goals, Kamikaze Mode nukes your words if you pause too long, and Fog Mode reveals only your active sentence.

Plot Planner

A multi-layer timeline for mapping out story beats, arcs, and foreshadowing injected straight into the manuscript via story beat tags. Built to be simple but effective, to prevent procastination via overplanning.

Epistemic Data (Who Knows What?)

Track exactly what a character knows at any given point in your timeline. Filter knowledge or relationship statuses from narrative view (what information the reader seen) to chronological (What actually happened at that specific time and date), greatly helping in building non linear stories.

Twist & Foreshadow Inspector

Equipped with diagnostics of when a twist is scheduled versus where its foreshadows are spread across the manuscript's word count. Calculates word count distance to reveal, maximum gaps, and lets you jump to tagged sentences in one click.

History Timeline, Custom Calendars & Time Gutter

Keep track of events that took place before your book even begins, link characters/locations/items together on the timeline, and set their birth and death. Define custom world calendars with fantasy months, seasons, and epochs. Attach in-editor Time Overrides to flashbacks and timeskips at paragraph level.

Entity Tracking & Lore DB

Your notes, organized properly. Manage Characters, Locations, and Lore Groups with NLP auto-extraction, alias resolution, and inline @mention tagging directly inside the editor without context switching. Don't like a character's name? Change it and the app will offer to replace their name all across the manuscript

The Pentimento System

AI detectors and humanizers are in an endless cat-and-mouse game. But there is a thing that is harder to fake: Human Struggle.

Proof of Human Authorship Through Creative Journey

We write line by line, hesitate, fix something up, change our minds and delete the whole paragraph. Because of friction, stories retain their human soul. However because of the editing and polishing process that gets your book published, that raw journey is often left behind. We shouldn't be afraid to write however we want just because an AI was trained on human prose and detectors fail to realize it.

Pentimento (coming in v1.3.0) captures your real-time session keystrokes into lightweight, verifiable playback heatmaps, proving human origin while letting you relive the exact struggles during the birth of your novel. Or share online the screenshot of your heatmap and edit history to prove the work was from your hands.

The cathedral smelled of old tallow, cold limestone, and spilled wax iron oxide. Outside, the river crept under the stone arches like a serpent quicksilver through broken glass. Elian reached into his heavy woolen coat, feeling the cold weight of the copper cipher key against his ribs.

Why FleshNote Exists

"I built FleshNote for myself mainly because I spent weeks building Obsidian databases and didn't write a single page of my book."

Most author software fails in one of two ways: it's either an archaic, raw rich-text document editor, or an infinite worldbuilding playground that tricks you into feeling productive while your actual draft is at 0 fucking words.

Why FleshNote is different: The whole app is built from the ground up so that your notes need actual written words to be grounded to. You write plain prose in a minimalist environment, while background extractors connect your notes to tangible work, calculate character ages, track foreshadowing intervals, and assemble your world database with no to minimal attention required from you
