Complete book writing with local AI, iCloud sync, and Apple Intelligence. Private by design. Free forever.
macOS 12+ · Apple Silicon · Free forever
Enable iCloud Sync in Settings and your writing follows you seamlessly — from your studio Mac to your MacBook and back. Automatic, private, encrypted. Conflict? Lekhanam keeps both versions and lets you decide.
On macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence enabled, Lekhanam connects directly to Apple’s on-device model. Zero RAM overhead. Zero wait time. No model to install. Just tap and write.
Every model runs entirely on your Mac with Metal GPU acceleration. No API key. No internet. No exceptions.
Our own model, fine-tuned on fiction and narrative prose. The default choice — balanced, fast, and fluent in story.
Built into macOS 26. No download, no RAM cost — Lekhanam connects directly to Apple’s on-device foundation model.
The lightest model in the catalog. Runs on any Mac with 2 GB free RAM. Best for quick edits and brainstorming at speed.
The most capable local model. Richer prose, sharper reasoning, longer context. Best on Macs with 8 GB+ unified memory.
Each tool built for a specific creative moment. All running locally, all private, all free.
Select any passage, then ask Lekha to rewrite, expand, condense, or sharpen it. Works at the sentence or paragraph level. Replaces or inserts — your call.
Describe what needs to happen in the scene — the beats, the emotion, the tension — and Ghostwriter drafts full prose. From outline to first draft in seconds.
Have a live conversation with any character in your book. Lekha reads their profile, speaks in their voice, and helps you find what makes them real before you write them.
Every tool a book writer actually needs, integrated into one focused workspace.
