Automatic Story Bible for Your Novel

Every long novel needs a story bible: the record of characters, locations, objects, and world rules that prevents contradictions. The problem is that maintaining one by hand is a second job — and 90% of writers abandon it around chapter 10. In YourNovel.app, the Story Bible builds itself while you write.

What is a story bible and why do you need one?

It's the reference document of your narrative world: what each character is called, what they look like, how they relate to everyone else, what happened in what order. Without one, the classic errors start around 30,000 words: eyes that change color, impossible dates, characters knowing things they haven't discovered yet. (For the full definition of the concept, see our dedicated glossary entry.)

The difference: automatic lore extraction

In other tools (Scrivener, NovelCrafter, Notion templates), the story bible is a set of cards you fill in. YourNovel.app works the other way around:

  1. You write your chapter (or the AI generates it — either way).
  2. The analysis engine automatically extracts new entities: characters, locations, objects, events, and relationships, with their attributes and aliases.
  3. The card appears in your Bible, fully editable: correct, expand, or add entries by hand whenever you want.

The result: a bible that's always current without spending a single extra minute on it.

Not just a file: it powers every other tool
