Open Source TypeScript 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.
