About Musael
Musael is a browser-based writing and story-planning workspace for novelists and fiction writers. It combines a manuscript editor for books, acts, chapters and scenes with planning boards, plotlines, timelines, and character and place records. Writers can organize scenes, keep notes and versions, work offline with changes synced across devices, and import or export manuscript formats. Collaboration tools include co-writing, beta-reader links and public story pages. Ink and Press add optional AI-assisted scene, grammar, style and continuity checks, research and outline suggestions; these tools provide feedback rather than drafting chapters. A public MCP connection allows supported AI clients to access project information and propose edits for a writer to review. Musael is designed for writers who want manuscripts, planning materials and fictional-world references together through revision and sharing.

Falcontext
Falcontext is a writing and story-checking tool for novelists, authors and other writers. It analyzes a whole manuscript for continuity issues, character and point-of-view changes, repeated paragraphs, doubled words, filter words, adverbs, dialogue tags and other prose patterns, then marks findings in supported editors so writers can review and fix them. It also provides word counts, daily and book-level goals, streaks, timed writing sprints, chapter and scene outlines, and character tracking. Falcontext is available as a browser extension, a desktop app for Mac, and Perch, a browser-based writing pad and tracker. Its checks run on the user's device without AI.
