Frequently Asked Questions
Are CipherWrite’s writing tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use without an account. Some AI generators offer expanded limits or saved results when you sign up, but the core functionality is free and ungated.
Do I need to create an account to use the tools?
No. You can run the grammar checker, readability checker, word counter, prompt generator, and the AI story generators without signing up. An account only adds the ability to save results to your encrypted vault.
Is my text stored or used to train AI?
No. CipherWrite uses a zero-knowledge architecture. Text you paste into a tool is processed for that single response and is never stored on our servers, never used to train models, and never seen by our team. Several tools (like the Markdown converter) run entirely in your browser.
Which tool should I use to plan a novel?
Start with the AI Plot Outline Generator for beat-by-beat structure, then the AI Character Arc Generator for transformation arcs, and the Book Writing Schedule Calculator to turn your word-count goal into daily targets.
Which tools help before publishing?
Run the Grammar Checker and Readability Checker for line-level polish, the AI Manuscript Auditor for plot holes and continuity, the Publishing Readiness Checker for clarity and tone, and the Privacy Risk Checker to catch anything too personal to publish.
