A writer's IDE for novelists building complex worlds.

We're building a desktop app for fantasy, sci-fi, and epic fiction writers who outgrow generic note-taking tools and find traditional word processors too unstructured for series-length worldbuilding. Think: the structural discipline of Scrivener, merged with the contextual intelligence of a software IDE.

Mythos reads your whole series the way a compiler reads a codebase — so a character who died in Book One can't quietly speak again in Book Two without the environment flagging it.

The ecosystem

Mythos is built as a multi-repository ecosystem, separating the engine, the interface, and the site.

Repository What it is Built with
mythoside-core The engine — manuscript data model, Markdown + YAML file format, file watching, and a JSON-RPC server over stdio (no network port). Rust
mythoside-ts The desktop client — the editor surface, hosting the engine as a sidecar. Tauri · React · TypeScript
mythoside-website The landing page and product story. Vite · React

Core philosophy

  • Built for fiction, not notes — a Series → Book → Chapter hierarchy that's built in, not something you configure yourself.
  • Contextual world-building — type @CharacterName and get an instant profile card without leaving your draft.
  • Local-first, always — plain Markdown + YAML frontmatter is the real source of truth. Your novel isn't held hostage by a server; a local SQLite (FTS5) index for instant cross-referencing is planned as a rebuildable cache, never the source of truth.
  • Continuity as diagnostics — the environment treats worldbuilding with an IDE's rigour: reference a character after their death, or place them in two locations at once, and it tells you.
