Frequently asked questions
Is the app free?
Yes — Lekhanam is completely free to download and use. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, and no trial period. All features, including AI writing assistance and offline dictation, are included at no cost.
Which macOS versions are supported?
Lekhanam requires macOS 13 Ventura or later and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The Apple Intelligence writing feature requires macOS 26 Tahoe or later on a supported Apple Silicon device. All other features work on macOS 13+.
Is my writing data private?
Completely. All your books, characters, and chapters are stored locally in
~/Documents/Lekhanam/ on your Mac. No writing data is transmitted to any server. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
How does the AI writing assistance work?
Lekhanam runs a local Qwen 2.5 language model directly on your Mac using your CPU and GPU — no internet connection required. You can also use Apple Intelligence (macOS 26 Tahoe+) for zero-RAM instant responses. The AI offers three modes: Assist (expand, shorten, sensory boost on selected text), Ghostwriter (beats → prose), and Character Interview (multi-turn dialogue with your characters).
Can I use the app offline?
Yes — Lekhanam works entirely offline. Writing, dictation, AI assistance, cover design, and export all function without an internet connection. The only features that require a connection are the initial download of AI model weights and loading fonts on this website.
