AI-free writing software for Windows

Writing without AI
Take your creativity back into your own hands.
Everywhere, tools offer to write for you. Pluméo makes the opposite choice: it organises, it saves, it counts your words, but it never whispers a single sentence. The ideas, the style, the hesitations and the discoveries stay yours.
AI-free, forever. It is a commitment: no version of Pluméo will ever contain AI.
Every word is yours
Pluméo drafts nothing, rephrases nothing, completes nothing. What you read in your book is what you wrote.
Your voice, not a machine’s
Your style takes shape as you write, sentence after sentence, with your turns of phrase and your clumsiness. Nobody smooths it out for you.
Tools, not a ghostwriter
Focus mode, word goals, statistics, character and place cards: Pluméo helps you move forward. The writing stays in your hands.
Sound familiar?
Writing a book is hard enough already.
The hardest part shouldn’t be finding your chapters, your notes or the colour of your heroine’s eyes.
“My novel is 300 pages in a single Word file. I can’t find anything any more.”
The chapters grow longer, the file gets heavier, and every read-through starts with ten minutes of scrolling.
“My notes are everywhere: notebooks, sticky notes, screenshots, my phone.”
Last Tuesday’s brilliant idea exists somewhere. The question is where.
“I’m afraid of losing everything one day.”
A power cut, a forgotten USB stick, a wrong click: months of work can hang by a thread.
“I’ve been putting this novel off for years.”
Time runs short, motivation crumbles, and you no longer quite know where you are.

Pluméo in action
A quiet place to write, with everything else close at hand.
Screenshots taken with the sample book that comes with Pluméo, “The Mistwood Lighthouse”.
The binder on the left, your text in the middle, the scene card on the right. Light, dark or sepia theme.
One card per scene. Move a card and the manuscript follows.
Characters, places and objects: each card keeps what you don’t want to forget.
Rest the mouse on a name in the text: a summary of its card appears.
Your research beside the text, while you write.
Words today, writing streak, the pace you need to reach your goal.

The story of Pluméo
Read the story of Pluméo“For almost twenty years I have shared my life with a graduate in Romance literature, a lover of books, who is now writing her first novel.
