Apps & Tools Software for the Story
Two apps launching in 2026. One for readers who lose their place. One for writers who want to sharpen their craft. Both part of the Forge ecosystem.
AI-powered recaps that remind you what happened -- characters, plot threads, key revelations -- without spoiling what comes next. Built for readers who juggle multiple series and hate re-reading 400 pages just to remember who betrayed whom.
Spoiler-Free Recaps
AI-generated summaries that stop exactly where you stopped reading. No accidental reveals.
Character Guides
Who is who, what they did, and how they connect -- refreshed to your exact reading point.
Event Timelines
Visual timelines of major plot events so you can piece the story back together fast.
Series Tracking
Track where you are across all your series. Pick up any book with confidence.
Manuscript analysis that catches what you miss. Voice fingerprinting detects characters who sound alike. Plot hole detection tracks inconsistencies and impossible knowledge. Cover brief generation creates designer-ready briefs from your manuscript's tone and themes. No text generation. No prose modification. Your words, sharper.
Voice Fingerprinter
Detects characters with similar dialogue patterns. Every character should sound like themselves.
Plot Hole Detective
Tracks inconsistencies, unresolved threads, and impossible knowledge across your manuscript.
Cover Brief Generator
Creates designer-ready briefs from your manuscript's tone, themes, and emotional arcs.
100% Offline
Your manuscript never leaves your machine. Complete privacy, zero generation. Analysis only.
Built for the Community
These tools come from real problems. BookRecap exists because I kept losing my place in long fantasy series. Writers Toolkit exists because developmental editing shouldn't cost a month's salary. Both are built with privacy first -- your data stays yours.
