Your story.
Your voice.
AI that thinks with you.
Talebuddy tracks every character, location, and plot thread as you write — so your story stays coherent even at 80,000 words. AI that knows your world, running entirely on your device.
The door to the vault stood
AI as a thinking partner. Never as a ghostwriter.
You're the author. Talebuddy is the assistant that keeps up with you — tracking what you've written, helping you push past blocks, making sure your characters never contradict themselves. Every word in the document is yours. Always.
Your characters,
always consistent.
As you write, Talebuddy detects characters, locations, items, and lore and builds a live database in the sidebar. When you mention someone new, a prompt asks if you want to track them — so the ledger fills itself without breaking your flow.
- Characters, locations, items, and lore — all tracked automatically
- Inline highlighting shows every tracked entity in your text
- Click any highlight to view or edit the full entry
- Rename a character globally across your entire story in one step
The door to the vault stood
She walked into the room. It was dark. She felt scared.
Lyra pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside. The darkness hit her immediately, thick and breathless, and her pulse jumped before her eyes had time to adjust.
Select text.
Make it better.
Highlight any text and a bubble menu appears above it. Four tools, all grounded in what you've already written — the AI reads your story before it touches a single word.
When you don't know
what comes next.
Hit a wall? The Writer's Block assistant reads your story so far and offers grounded suggestions for where things could go — not generic prompts, but ideas rooted in your actual characters, your world, and what's already happened.
It's a nudge, not a takeover. Every suggestion is a starting point. You decide what actually happens.
Built for the long haul.
Everything you need when the story gets long and the details start slipping.
Automatic Summaries
Talebuddy generates rolling summaries at the page and chapter level. 50,000 words in, the AI still knows the full shape of your story.
Unlimited AI, free, on your device
The free tier runs AI locally in your browser — no API key, no credits, no usage limits, no internet required. Use it as much as you want. Your story never leaves your machine.
When local isn't enough
When your device can't run local AI, or you want the sharpest suggestions possible, Pro unlocks cloud-powered AI — longer context, deeper reasoning, and results that punch above the local tier. Just write. We handle the rest.
Your vault,
inside your editor.
Already use Obsidian? Connect your vault and browse it directly inside Talebuddy — your notes appear in the same sidebar as your Creative Ledger, right next to your story. The worldbuilding you've already done feeds into what you're writing now.
- Browse your full vault from the dashboard or the editor
- View notes alongside your Creative Ledger in a single sidebar
- Character notes from Obsidian sit next to Talebuddy entity entries
- Works with Obsidian LiveSync
How it works
Four steps. Full control. Nothing you didn't ask for.
Create a tale
Name your project and open the editor. Your Creative Ledger starts empty and fills as you write.
Write. The ledger follows.
Characters and places are detected as they appear. A prompt asks if you want to track them — say yes and move on.
Use AI when you need it
Select text for Expand, Compress, Rephrase, or Thesaurus. Hit the Writer's Block button when you're stuck.
Your story, intact
Every word is yours. Talebuddy suggests; you decide. Local saves are automatic. Cloud sync on Pro.
Simple, fair pricing.
Any paid subscription works across Talebuddy and Draggen. Pay once — both tools unlock.
