The Core Idea
Built to Protect the Way You Actually Write
If you've ever finished a chapter and immediately lost twenty minutes second-guessing whether it sounds like you, Krannie Manuscript Framework was built for exactly that moment. It's a full desktop command center — draft, audit, cover, format, and publish-ready output — engineered specifically around protecting a novelist's own voice instead of replacing it with a generic one, with no usage meter running while you write. Bring your own AI provider key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini) and pay only that provider's real rate, or skip the cloud entirely and run a free local model. Either way, your manuscript stays on your machine unless you decide otherwise.
No Usage Meter
Nothing runs against you while you draft. No clock, no counter, no throttling.
Bring Your Own AI Key
Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini — at that provider's real rate, nothing marked up.
Free Local Model Option
Skip the cloud entirely and keep your manuscript on your own machine.
What's Included — Full Breakdown
Foundation
- Full desktop application (native Windows and macOS interface, local engine — nothing about your manuscript data lives in the cloud by default)
- Up to 6, 10, or 20 independent pen names / author identities (by edition), each with its own Literary DNA
- Manuscript Backup: one-click, timestamped, optionally AES-256-encrypted export of your entire studio to a folder you choose
Voice & Identity
- Guided 8-question DNA Wizard — no craft jargon required, plain-language answers only
- Full 15-field DNA profile for writers who want direct control (prose density, emotional distance, dialogue style, restraint level, signature tendencies, and more)
- Style Fingerprint — zero-cost, deterministic stylometric analysis of your actual prose, with one click to build a brand-new pen name and DNA profile straight from an existing manuscript
Idea to Outline
- Idea Lab — genre/trope brainstorming grounded in real, live web search for comp titles and current trends, with an Own-Catalog Check so you never accidentally pitch yourself the same book twice
- Draft Lab — an 8-step guided construction sequence from concept through three-act architecture, scene-by-scene blueprint, series bible (for series work), and a scored, comp-title-checked title engine
Drafting
- Chapter Expansion — Cold Open, beat table, Creation Gate, beat-by-beat drafting, and an automatic prose-quality check (the TIC Monitor) before any chapter counts as finished
- Batch Expand All Chapters — the same gated process, unattended, across your entire remaining manuscript, with an automatic Flag-and-Fix pass that rewrites and re-checks any chapter the quality gate flags before moving on
Quality Control
- 21 manuscript audits covering continuity, pacing, voice, dialogue, atmosphere, suspense, and more, with named locations, quoted lines, and severity ratings — not vague notes
- Audit History — every audit run is saved, not just the latest; revisit any past result or clean up old runs with one click
- 3 genre-framework audits (Horror/Thriller, Romantasy, Middle-Grade) checking for the specific structural beats each genre's readers expect
- Cross-record audits: Voice Firewall (checks against every other pen name's DNA so voices never blur), Series Continuity (checks later books against locked series canon), and Comp-Title & Market Fit (live web search against real, currently published books)
- Roster Health — an auto-computed summary strip (pen names, manuscripts, average score, and what needs attention) alongside a single consistency score across your entire catalog, so you always know exactly where your next hour of attention pays off most
Cover & Presentation
- Cover Lab — generate a cover directly with an image-capable AI provider, or export a complete, print-accurate ChatGPT prompt package (front, back, spine, with automatic KDP spine-width math)
- Part Illustration Pack — interior section-divider art prompts, same engine as the cover prompts
Getting to Market
- Metadata Intelligence — free, deterministic BISAC code and retailer category suggestions, Amazon-ready keyword phrases, long-tail SEO phrases, and an AI-polish pass for back-cover copy
- Author Platform — synopsis sheets (400- and 600-word) and full author dossiers, built for what agents, editors, and marketing teams actually ask for
- Compile Book — one click to a retailer-ready EPUB3, a KDP-formatted print interior PDF (mirrored margins, running headers, real paginated TOC), a print-ready wraparound cover PDF, and a plain-text metadata file
Your Choice of AI
- Bring your own key: Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini — you pay each provider's real rate directly, with zero markup
- Run Locally: connect a free, self-hosted model through Ollama or LM Studio for genuinely offline, no-account, no-per-use-cost operation
What Makes Krannie Manuscript Framework Different
One-time price, not a meter that never stops running.
Most AI writing tools charge a recurring subscription tied to usage credits — the bill doesn't stop just because your manuscript is finished. KMF is a single $99.95–$199.95 purchase per license, depending on edition. If you also connect a cloud AI provider, you pay that provider directly, at their own real rate — never a markup layered on top by us.
Your voice is the point, not an afterthought.
Generic AI writing tools optimize for fluent prose. KMF optimizes for prose that sounds like you — via a real, protectable Literary DNA profile that steers every generation, and a Style Fingerprint that can measure, in hard numbers, whether you've drifted from it.
A real process, with quality gates at every step.
Chapter Expansion doesn't let the AI wander off with your chapter. It locks the actual opening line, walks through an approved beat table, commits to what the chapter has to accomplish before drafting starts, and runs a deterministic prose-quality check before anything is called finished.
Chapter Expansion also runs in reverse: novella to full novel.
Point Rescue mode at a novella-length chapter and it walks the existing text through the exact same beat-by-beat, gated process as a brand-new chapter — Cold Open, beats, Creation Gate, TIC Monitor — until it reads like a real full-length chapter, not a padded-out version of the short one. Batch Expand runs this across every remaining chapter in the manuscript automatically.
Genuinely optional cloud dependency.
Run entirely offline with a free local model, or bring your own key to a major provider — either way, your manuscripts never touch a server we control. Your manuscripts, pen names, and settings live on your own machine. (On Pro and Elite, your Quick Notes and whatever you choose to share with your phone through Mobile Companion are kept on a Krannie-operated server — never your chapter prose.)
One app, the whole pipeline.
Idea → outline → draft → audit → cover → metadata → author package → compiled, retailer-ready files. Most competing tools cover one or two of those stages; KMF was built to cover all of them without you ever leaving the app.
Ready When You Are
One-time purchase, and a workflow built to protect your voice from first idea to finished manuscript.
