AuthorAZ Desk

The private author vault is coming to Windows and macOS.

AuthorAZ Desk brings the same local-first, offline approach to the desktop: a place to write your books and keep everything around them, on your own computer. No cloud account, no AI, no tracking — the way the mobile app already works.

Platforms

Built for the desk, on both operating systems

A native desktop build of the AuthorAZ vault for Windows, carrying the same local-first, offline approach as the mobile app.

Coming soon

macOS

A Mac build of AuthorAZ for authors who want the whole book — the writing and the business material — kept on their own machine.

What Desk is being built to do

The same vault, with room to work.

AuthorAZ Desk is designed to bring writing and the whole book business onto your computer — kept local, kept private, and built to feel like one product with the app already in your pocket.

Write on a bigger screen

A full keyboard, a wide window, and room to draft chapters — the same manuscript work the mobile Writer does, with the space a desk gives you.

The whole book business, on your machine

Covers, blurbs, metadata, ISBNs, buy links, quotes, and reviews kept per title and per pen name, in one place you control.

Backups you place yourself

Password-encrypted backup files you export and store where you choose, so moving between devices never means handing your work to a cloud.

Made to sit beside the mobile app

The same vault, the same privacy stance, the same one-time-purchase model — built so desk and pocket feel like one product, not two.

Private by design, on the desktop too.

The mobile app keeps your work on your device, with no account and no AI. AuthorAZ Desk is being built to the same principles, so moving to a bigger screen never means moving your manuscript into a cloud.

See how AuthorAZ is private by design

No cloud account

The AuthorAZ library lives on the device, not on AuthorAZ servers.

No AI

Drafts and manuscripts are written, searched, and scanned locally. Nothing is sent to a model.

No in-app tracking

The app is built without analytics SDKs, ads, or behaviour profiles.

Encrypted backups

You export a password-protected file and store it wherever you like.

Start now on mobile.

You do not have to wait for Desk to keep your books in one private place. The AuthorAZ app is available today for iPhone, iPad, and Android — with the Writer, on-device dictation, the book vault, and encrypted backups.

Common questions

Is AuthorAZ Desk available yet?

Not yet. AuthorAZ Desk for Windows and macOS is in development and marked coming soon. AuthorAZ is available today for iPhone and iPad on the App Store and for Android phones and tablets on Google Play.

Which desktop platforms will AuthorAZ Desk support?

The desktop app is being built for Windows and macOS. There is no download link yet; this page will be updated when builds are available.

Will AuthorAZ Desk be private and offline like the mobile app?

That is the intent. Desk is being built on the same principles as the mobile app: a local-first library on your own computer, no AuthorAZ cloud account, no AI processing of your manuscripts, no in-app tracking, and password-encrypted backups you place yourself.

Will there be a subscription?

AuthorAZ is sold as a one-time purchase rather than a recurring subscription, and Desk is planned to follow the same model. Pricing will be confirmed closer to release.

How do I get AuthorAZ right now?

Use the mobile app while Desk is in development. It runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets, and it already includes the Writer, on-device dictation, the book vault, and encrypted backups.
