AuthorVault by RetroBytes Studios
A writing workspace built for authors who think privacy comes first for characters, stories, worlds, and scenes.
Your stories start as private thoughts. Your characters, scenes, worlds, notes, and unfinished ideas should stay personal until you choose otherwise. AuthorVault is being created by RetroBytes Studios as a local-first writing workspace built to keep your creative work close, private, and under your control. No cloud-first pressure. No taking chances with your ideas. Lock everything down. Welcome to AuthorVault.
