Distraction-free, encrypted, and built for authors. The perfect environment to craft your next bestseller.
In an age where every keystroke is shared, tracked, and graded by opaque algorithms, writing in a conventional cloud editor means your most private creative work is being scanned for patterns and commercial data points.
We believe the most important thoughts are the ones you can't yet say out loud—the raw fears, the honest confessions, and the early book drafts that truly define your human experience.
CipherWrite was built specifically to serve as a secure writing software sanctuary where you can finally be completely alone with your own mind without the intrusion of AI training or predatory growth hacks.
As a premier free book writing app, we offer a blank page that respects your privacy as a fundamental human right through robust client-side keys and absolute zero-knowledge encryption.
How are you feeling today?
What would you tell future you?
Draft your book without distraction
We've stripped away the noise and added layers of silence. The result is a writing sanctuary that feels as private as your own mind.
Absolute Privacy
Your Identity is hashed. Your words are encrypted. Not even the CipherWrite team can see what you write inside the vault.
Adaptive Creative AI
Brainstorm creative book ideas, detect private metadata leaks, and humanize your drafts with built-in AI writing software that respects your boundaries. Cipher Write is designed for authors, by authors.
Zero Knowledge
Encryption happens on your device. Only you hold the keys. No corporate cloud, including CipherWrite, has access to your raw text.
Stateless Sync
Sync your work across devices using encrypted payloads. CipherWrite sync is secure, fast, and completely anonymous.
Local-First
Encryption Core
Unlike other apps, the Cipher Write encryption keys never exist on our servers. Even if we were compromised, your data remains an unreadable mist.
We don't just "encrypt" data. We built an architecture where your words are physically isolated from our server's eyes.
Encryption keys are forged in the fires of your machine. They never touch the wire.
No server logs. No metadata tracking. No search history. Your path through the vault is invisible.
Anonymity is the default state. Write for years without ever telling us who you are.
Write your first book free. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited books and unlimited AI — your words stay end-to-end encrypted on every plan.

Tier Privileges
Pro is not competing with our free plan. It is competing with the alternatives below.
| Option | Cost | Wait | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beta reader (swap or volunteer) | Free | 2–6 weeks | Quality varies enormously, and you owe them a read back. Many never finish. |
| Paid beta reader | $50–$300 | 2–6 weeks | One reader, one opinion. You cannot ask them to read it again after you revise. |
| Developmental edit (80k words) | $2,400–$6,400 | 4–12 weeks | The gold standard, and genuinely better than any AI read. Most writers cannot afford it per draft. |
| CipherWrite Pro | $10.49/mo | Minutes | It is not a human. A great developmental editor will still beat it — but you can run this on every draft, and it never gets tired of you. |
Editing rates from the Editorial Freelancers Association rate survey, 2026. Ranges, not quotes — individual editors vary.
Got questions? We've got answers.
Is this good for writing novels?

Can I export my book?
Absolutely. Export your entire manuscript to PDF, Markdown, or Word documents instantly.
Is it secure for my intellectual property?
