What it solves

Easy-writing is a local-first desktop application designed for web novel writers. It addresses the same problems professional writers often face: the need for secure, private data ownership of their manuscripts, the need for AI assistance without relying on a closed ecosystem, and the the need to track writing statistics and market trends via integrated ranking lists.

How it works

The software operates as a local desktop app (built with Tauri 2) that stores all works, settings, and writing records in a local SQLite database. It uses a "Bring Your Own Key" (BYOK) approach for AI features, allowing users to configure their own API keys for models like DeepSeek, OpenAI, and Kimi, or connect to locally hosted models via Ollama or LM Studio.

Who it’s for

Web novel authors (e.g., those publishing on platforms like Qidian or Fanqie) and any writer who wants full control over their drafts and writing environment.
