Novel Writing App: Write Your Book Distraction-Free
Writing a novel requires focus and consistency. Hearth provides a minimal editor and powerful habit tracking to help you finish your book.
Built for Long-Form Fiction

Perfect for:
- Literary fiction
- Genre fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, romance)

Organize Your Novel Structure
Create projects for each novel. Use folders to organize:
- Parts and acts: High-level structure

- Plot outlines: Scene lists, beat sheets
- Research notes: References and inspiration
The Power of Daily Writing
Most aspiring novelists never finish their books. The difference between those who finish and those who don't? Consistency.
Hearth's streak tracking and reminders help you write every day. Even small sessions add up—30 minutes a day becomes a finished novel in 6-12 months.
Autosave for Long Sessions
Marathon writing sessions are when novels get written. Hearth's autosave protects your work automatically, so you can write for hours without worrying about losing progress.
Version history keeps every draft. Try different approaches to a scene and restore previous versions if needed.
Share with Beta Readers
Beta reader feedback is essential for novelists. Share individual chapters or your complete manuscript with readers and collect all reviews in one place.
See what's working and what needs revision. Multiple perspectives help you identify plot holes, pacing issues, and character development opportunities.
AI Assistance When Stuck
Writer's block hits every novelist. AI tab-complete can suggest possibilities when you're stuck on a sentence or transition. You maintain creative control while getting helpful nudges.
Track Your Novel Progress
Watch your writing time accumulate week by week. Your dashboard shows streaks, daily goals, and total active writing time—proof of the work you're putting in.
Visualizing progress keeps you motivated during the long middle when the finish line feels far away.
Multiple Novels, Multiple Projects
Working on multiple novels? Create separate projects for each. Switch between them effortlessly while keeping everything organized.
Perfect for authors with:
- A novel in progress and a novel being revised
- Multiple books in a series
- Standalone novels in different genres
- Current work and future project outlines
