Open Source Rust Word Processors

Kindling is a free, open-source desktop writing app for fiction writers who outline before they draft. Instead of staring at a blank page, you write directly into a scaffold built from your own outline — scene beats become expandable writing prompts, with character and location references surfacing automatically as you write. Import from Scrivener (.scriv), Plottr (.pltr), yWriter (.yw7), Obsidian Longform, or Markdown. Export to Scrivener, DOCX (Standard Manuscript Format), EPUB, Markdown, or Longform. Beat sheet templates included: Hero's Journey, Save the Cat, Three-Act Structure, and more. No AI. No subscription. No cloud. All projects are local SQLite files — no accounts, no data collection. Works completely offline. MIT licensed. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Outcome is a modern creative writing software developed by Scriptony Foundation. It is designed to support writers, creators, and creative projects through a structured and flexible writing environment focused on long-form creativity and organization. Outcome uses a content system based on contents, blocks, and elements, allowing projects to remain modular and manageable while writing novels, stories, scripts, poems, notes, and other creative works. The software is designed with future extensibility in mind, including planned collaboration features, analysis tools, offline AI support, publishing workflows, and creative project management systems. Outcome aims to provide an accessible and community-focused platform without mandatory subscriptions while supporting privacy-conscious and offline-capable workflows.
