Tree-Style Story Structure
Arrange scenes, chapters, fragments, arcs, or experimental branches in a node-based structure that can match the project instead of a template.
Alpha · v0.1.0 · Mac & Windows
For writers whose worlds do not arrive in order.
A local-first desktop workspace for scenes, lore, codex notes, characters, world rules, and the stray fragments you’ll forget in eleven seconds. Structure that follows the work — not the other way around.
Mac First-time install — ~30 second Gatekeeper bypass
LoreLoom alpha builds are not yet code-signed, so macOS Gatekeeper will block the first launch with “Apple cannot verify…”. Two ways to allow it.
Option A — System Settings
- Open the downloaded
.zip— you’ll getLoreLoom.app. - Drag
LoreLoom.appinto your Applications folder. - Double-click LoreLoom — dismiss the warning with OK.
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom, click Open Anyway next to “LoreLoom was blocked…”, confirm with your password.
Option B — Terminal (one command)
If you’re comfortable in the terminal, after dragging the app to Applications run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LoreLoom.appLoreLoom will then open normally with no further warnings.
Windows First-time install — ~10 second SmartScreen bypass
LoreLoom alpha builds are not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will warn on first launch.
- Double-click
LoreLoom-v0.1.0-alpha-windows.exe. - SmartScreen will show “Windows protected your PC”.
- Click More info, then click the Run anyway button that appears.
On an Intel Mac or Linux? Request a build in Discord — we’ll prioritize what alpha testers actually need.
Loving the alpha? Buy us a coffee on Ko-fi — entirely optional, deeply appreciated.

Runs on your computer
Your writing stays local
Core concept
Write how you write.
LoreLoom is built around the reality that creativity is rarely linear. Instead of forcing writers into rigid folders, timelines, or endless scrolling documents, it lets stories, notes, lore, and codex entries branch in a tree-style structure.
The goal is calm creative control: enough structure to maintain cohesion, enough freedom for different minds and different writing styles to feel at home.
Platform shape
Worldbuilding tools that bend around the writer.
Custom Organisation
Keep outlines, draft sections, lore notes, and creative scraps close to the way each writer actually thinks, plans, and revises.
Codex For Cohesion
Build a worldbuilding codex with the same flexible tree philosophy, so characters, places, concepts, and history stay findable.
Neurodivergent-Aware Flow
Designed especially for nonlinear creative workflows, context switching, fragments, and the practical need to return to a thought later.
Local-First By Design
LoreLoom runs as a desktop app on Mac and Windows. Your writing lives on your machine — no account, no upload, no waiting on a server to respond.
Assistive AI, Not Replacement
AI in LoreLoom is only ever an assistant — surfacing continuity, codex links, and details from work you have already written. It will never generate creative material for you, and it will never train on your writing. The craft stays human.
Workflow
A loom for fragments, branches, and worlds.
LoreLoom gives nonlinear work a place to land without flattening it into someone else’s method. The structure is there to support the creative thread.
-
Capture
Drop in scenes, snippets, ideas, lore notes, or stray thoughts before they vanish.
-
Branch
Organise material into a tree that can follow arcs, themes, timelines, or instinct.
-
Connect
Use codex structures to keep people, places, rules, and continuity easier to track.
-
Refine
Shape the work without losing ownership, privacy, or the human centre of the story.
Core beliefs
Low barriers, private work, human creativity.
- Your data is your data, with ownership and export treated as product requirements.
- Creativity should remain human-led, with tools assisting rather than taking over.
- Local-first by default — writing stays on your machine unless you choose to move it.
- Optional cloud sync is on the roadmap for writers who want it, never as a precondition for using LoreLoom.
Private alpha
LoreLoom is seeking alpha writers and workflow feedback.
Writers of all kinds are invited to try the current workflow on Mac or Windows and share what fits, what rubs, and what kinds of creative structure LoreLoom should support next. Drop into the Discord or email us directly — whichever you prefer.
Enjoying the alpha? Buy us a coffee on Ko-fi — it keeps the lights on while LoreLoom finds its feet.
