Unix - AI-Powered Creative Writing Studio

Unix is a modern, distraction-free writing environment enhanced by a context-aware AI assistant. Built for novelists and creative writers, it seamlessly integrates advanced AI tools directly into the writing workflow.

🚀 Usage

AI Chat Sidebar

• Context Aware: The AI knows about your current file, selected text, and other project files.
• Smart Tools: can write, update, create, and rename files directly.
• Persistent History: Chat history is saved to the database, so you never lose a conversation.

Smart Features

• Auto-Renaming: When the AI writes a new chapter or article for you, it automatically renames "Untitled Page" to a relevant title.
• Style Guide: Create a .unixrc file to enforce specific writing styles, character voices, or world-building rules. The AI will adhere to these rules in every interaction.
