Storyloft is a browser-based author platform that combines an AI writing assistant, illustration and cover tools, and a book formatter in one workflow, so authors can draft, design, and export publish-ready files without switching tools or installing software. It runs entirely in the browser on Mac, Windows, and other desktop devices, positioning itself as an all-in-one alternative to stitching together a separate writing app and formatter.
- Best for: Authors who want one tool for the whole pipeline — drafting through formatted EPUB and print-ready PDF — rather than a specialized layout app
- Key features: "Eddy AI" writing assistant (brainstorming, rewriting, manuscript-aware editing), AI illustration and cover generation, character/research/citation management, and professional formatting with EPUB, print-ready PDF, and DOCX export
- Pricing: Free tier (5,000 words, no credit card); Writer $19.99/month; Author $39/month; Yearly $169.99/year; Lifetime $269.99 one-time
- Platform: Web-only — runs in any modern browser with no install
- Privacy: States it never trains AI models on your content
- Keep in mind: Newer entrant (2025–2026) whose formatter is one module of a broader writing suite rather than a dedicated layout tool; verify current AI limits and export options for your genre before committing
