Books, forged on your desktop

From idea to finished book. In one sitting.

Give BookForge a topic, a style, and a length. It forges the outline first, then writes every chapter with streaming preview — using the AI provider of your choice — and exports the result as Markdown, HTML, or PDF.

No account. API keys encrypted on your device. Books saved to your disk.

Three steps to a book

Describe

Start with a topic

Type what the book should be about, pick a style — educational, technical, narrative — and choose how many chapters you want.

Forge

Watch it take shape

Two-phase generation builds the structure first, then writes each chapter with a live streaming preview and real-time token and cost tracking.

Export

Take it anywhere

Ship the finished book as clean Markdown, styled HTML, or a print-ready PDF, straight from your library.

Bring your own AI

Any major provider

Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Groq — or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Your key, your model, one settings tab.

Or fully local

Point BookForge at Ollama and generate entire books without a single token leaving your machine.

Keys kept safe

API keys are encrypted with your operating system's secure storage and never leave your device except to call the provider you chose.

For educators & trainers

Draft a course reader, a study guide, or a workbook for next semester in an afternoon — structured into chapters, exported to PDF, ready to refine.

For writers & creators

Break the blank page. Generate a complete first draft of that non-fiction book or long-form guide, then rework it in your own voice.
