Lore IE

Catches the plot holes your editor would — without sending a word of your manuscript anywhere.

Lore Index Express is a continuity checker for long-form fiction: novels, light novels, manga, manhua, manhwa and web serials. It understands the structure of a story, not just its text.

It keeps a queryable model of who was where, when, holding what, knowing what — and continuously lints your manuscript against it. A character who knows something they were never told. An object in two places at once. A scar that heals between chapters. A timeline that cannot fit the days it claims. The output is an issue inbox: a linter for fiction.

Long fiction breaks in ways prose tools cannot see, because the error is never in the sentence — it is in the relationship between chapter four and chapter thirty-one. That is a structural problem, so Lore IE keeps a structural model and checks it continuously rather than asking you to remember.

No AI. No network. No accounts.

This is the part worth stating plainly. Lore IE does not call a model, does not have a server, does not ask you to sign in, and sends no telemetry. It behaves identically with the device in airplane mode, permanently. Your unpublished manuscript never leaves your machine, because there is nowhere for it to go.

What makes it interesting

Where it is

In active development for Windows, macOS and Linux, with mobile to follow. It is not released yet and there is nothing to download today.

Source-available. Lore IE is published under the PolyForm Noncommercial licence: free to use, modify and share for any non-commercial purpose, with commercial use by permission. That is deliberately not the same thing as open source, and we would rather name it accurately than borrow the word. Source on GitHub
