Question 1

What operating system does WriteAxe support?

Accepted Answer

WriteAxe is a Windows desktop application built on .NET 8 and WPF. It requires Windows 10 or later (64-bit). macOS and Linux versions are not currently available.

Question 2

Is WriteAxe really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free tier includes the full text editor, variant validation and preview, complete thesaurus, resume builder, PDF viewing, RSS reader, web scraping, built-in browser, email campaign builder, and 20+ templates. No credit card required, no time limit, no watermarks.

Question 3

What does the Pro tier add?

Accepted Answer

Pro unlocks all AI features (local LLM via LlamaSharp/Ollama, cloud AI via OpenAI/Anthropic, AI Chat with 17 task types), batch variant generation up to 1M variants, weighted and conditional variants, AI-generated variants, full PDF text editing, WordPress publishing, unlimited RSS feeds, batch web scraping with JavaScript rendering, and SMTP email sending.

Question 4

Does WriteAxe require an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

No. WriteAxe runs entirely on your machine. The editor, variant engine, thesaurus (with offline WordNet data), PDF tools, and templates all work without internet. Online features like RSS feeds, web scraping, WordPress publishing, and cloud AI providers need connectivity. Local LLM inference via LlamaSharp runs completely offline.

Question 5

Can I cancel my Pro subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel anytime from the Settings panel in WriteAxe or through the Stripe customer portal. Your Pro features remain active until the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees.

Question 6

Can I use my Pro license on multiple machines?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each Pro license allows activation on up to 3 machines simultaneously. You can deactivate a machine from Settings and activate a different one at any time.

Question 7

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

All your data stays on your machine. WriteAxe uses a local SQLite database in your AppData folder. Documents are saved wherever you choose. No data is sent to our servers — the only network calls are license validation (once per 24 hours for Pro users), and optional features you explicitly use (online thesaurus, RSS, web scraping, cloud AI, WordPress).

Question 8

What AI models does WriteAxe support?

Accepted Answer

Four providers: LlamaSharp (run GGUF models locally on your GPU/CPU), Ollama (connect to locally-running Ollama server), OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4, GPT-3.5), and Anthropic (Claude Sonnet, Claude Haiku). Local models run entirely on your hardware with zero data leaving your machine.
