Anonymous visitor
Private from the first screen
Lorewell has no account gate: an anonymous visitor starts with a local, empty library and a clear statement of what stays on this device.
No matching screens
Try “AI”, “notes”, “storage”, “Native”, or a reader context.
01
Anonymous visitor
Lorewell is useful before sign-in because there is no sign-in. The browser is the private boundary.
02
Brand-new reader
The first-run path explains both the fastest start and the more durable folder-backed library.
Brand-new reader
Add a book or an entire folder
Start with individual files, drag-and-drop, or grant a folder so Lorewell can discover supported formats recursively.
Brand-new reader
Choose where the library lives
Browser storage, a durable Folder sidecar, and NakliOS storage remain explicit, isolated libraries—switching never silently copies or deletes.
03
Library owner
Once populated, the collection becomes an active private knowledge space rather than a grid of inert files.
Library owner
A work-centred library
Continue Reading, one search, and Add lead; saved views and library-wide maintenance stay one deliberate step away.
Library owner
Views that remember how you think
Combine reading state, shelves, tags, text filtering, and sort order, then save that view inside the active library.
Library owner
Metadata with provenance
Edit title, authors, ISBN, tags, shelves, rating, formats, concepts, and processing state without modifying the original book.
Library owner
Inspectable, repairable storage
Validate canonical records, rebuild disposable indexes, export a portable library, inspect background work, and recover books from Trash.
Library owner
Ask across your own sources
Lorewell retrieves passages locally first and requires the answer to cite the exact excerpts supplied to the chosen provider.
Library owner
Local AI, local endpoints, or BYOK
Use the built-in on-device model, Ollama, LM Studio, or an explicit remote endpoint with session-only keys and destination-specific consent.
04
Active reader
The reading surfaces keep source fidelity, personal memory, reflow, and optional assistance in one continuous workspace.
Active reader
Read the authored source faithfully
The primary reader preserves the book’s own structure on a full canvas while keeping the library available from the top bar.
Active reader
A Lorewell native reflow
Native mode reflows indexed passages into an accessible reading surface with stable references and source-grounded concepts. A quiet optional Echo indicator can reveal grounded connections to another book, conceal spoilers, speak on request, open the exact related paragraph, and return you here.
Active reader
One search gesture across formats
Find in book uses engine-aware anchors for EPUB, PDF, and reflowable text while retaining a common keyboard and result interface.
Active reader
Reading memory beside the page
Bookmarks, portable highlights, a table of contents, and per-book notes stay attached to the source and survive derived-index rebuilds.
Active reader
Typography tuned for sustained reading
Adjust typeface, size, rhythm, width, alignment, spacing, and colour profile without changing the book itself.
Active reader
A private passage sidecar
Explain, summarize, extract key points, or ask a question about the current passage without turning AI into a blocking reader modal.
05
NakliOS reader
Inside NakliOS, Lorewell adopts host capabilities without losing the standalone product or crossing storage boundaries.
NakliOS reader
The same app inside NakliOS
Lorewell keeps its standalone reading model when hosted, while storage, theme, and AI capabilities arrive through the NakliOS boundary.
NakliOS reader
Folder and Crate stay separate
Hosted readers can switch between connected backends after pending reading state is saved; neither library is merged implicitly.
