Settings

The Settings dialog gives you access to the app’s main customization options. Fine-tune your experience and configure WriterFlow to work the way you prefer. The Settings Modal is organized into four main tabs:

  1. Basic Info: Core project details and AI writing style preferences.
  2. Page: Typography and page layout configurations.
  3. Display: Visual theme properties for the editor environment.
  4. Prompts: Customizable system instructions for AI actions.

1. Basic Info

Section titled “1. Basic Info”

This section manages the project’s metadata and the core instructions that guide the AI’s content generation.

Project Details

Section titled “Project Details”
  • Title: The name of the project.
  • Genre: The literary genre (e.g., Sci-Fi, Thriller, Romance).
  • Plot: A high-level summary or outline of the story.
    • Send to AI as reference context: A toggle that, when enabled, includes the plot summary in the AI’s context window to help it understand the broader narrative.

AI Generation Settings

Section titled “AI Generation Settings”
  • Double Pass AI: When enabled, the AI uses a two-step generation process.
    1. It first generates the raw content.
    2. It then runs a second pass specifically to enforce your selected writing style, Point of View (POV), and tense constraints.
  • Writing Style: A dropdown to select a predefined author style (e.g., Stephen King, Jane Austen) or “Custom”.
    • If a specific author is selected, the AI will heavily mimic their prose rhythm, vocabulary, and tone.
    • Custom Style Reference: If “Custom” is selected, you can manually type a description of the desired tone and style.

Novel-Specific Settings

Section titled “Novel-Specific Settings”

(These fields only appear if the project is a Novel)

  • Point of View (POV): Enforces the narrative perspective (First Person, Second Person, Third Person).
  • Tense: Enforces the grammatical tense of the narrative (Past Tense, Present Tense).

2. Page

Section titled “2. Page”

This section controls the page-level formatting and typography.

  • Default page size: Allows selection between standard page dimensions:
    • US Letter
    • A4
  • Document Font: Sets the primary font family for the main manuscript (Novel/Screenplay).
  • Notes Font: Sets the font family for the supplemental notes and research documents.

3. Display

4. Prompts

Section titled “4. Prompts”

Users can modify the underlying system instructions for the following actions:

  • Rewrite (Base): Modifies the standard rewrite behavior.
  • Rewrite (Custom): Modifies how custom rewrite instructions are applied.
  • Merge: Modifies how the AI blends selected text with its surrounding context.
