FAQ
- What is yazar.io?
yazar.io is a lightweight world-building tool that lets Turkish novelists build and connect their story universe (characters, locations, organizations, lore) in one web-based space. It doesn't write your novel for you: you keep writing the manuscript itself in Word or Google Docs, while yazar.io keeps the world behind it organized.
Read more - Will I write my novel in yazar.io?
No. You keep writing your novel in Word, Google Docs, or whatever writing app you already use - yazar.io isn't for writing the story itself, it's for organizing the world behind it.
Read more - What can I organize in yazar.io?
You can organize your characters, locations, organizations, world rules, races, creatures, items, spells, beliefs, and terms unique to your story. You can also manage your notes, timeline, family tree, and the fields you use in each section.
Read more - Can the details in my story be linked together?
Yes. You can link characters to family members, organizations, locations, items, and other elements of your story. The connections you create show up automatically on the related pages; relationships like parent and spouse also show up in your family tree.
Read more - Can I decide the fields for each book myself?
Yes. You can decide what information appears in the character, location, and other sections through Field Templates. You can use the built-in fields or create new ones specific to your story; changes you make to a template don't break the records you've already created.
Read more - Is my data safe?
yazar.io uses Supabase for its database, accounts, and file storage. Thanks to Row Level Security (RLS), every user can only access their own books and content; the content you create is never sent to product analytics.
Read more - Can I export my data?
Yes. You can download your book's characters, locations, notes, events, relationships, and other content as Markdown or JSON files whenever you want. Your data isn't locked into yazar.io.
Read more - Is yazar.io free?
yazar.io is free during the beta. Paid plans will be introduced once the beta ends. The Author Card, where you can create a public author profile, will stay free forever.
Read more - Do I have to set everything up from scratch to get started?
No. Your new account comes with a fully filled-in Sample Book you can explore to see how yazar.io's sections and connected structure work. The Sample Book is read-only - you can remove it from your library and bring it back later if you'd like.
Read more - Can I delete my account and my data?
Yes. You can start deleting your account from the Settings page. For your security, a confirmation link is sent to your email, and nothing is deleted until you confirm. Once confirmed, your account, books, characters, notes, and Author Card are permanently deleted.
Read more - Can I use it on my phone and tablet?
Yes. yazar.io is web-based and adapts to tablet and mobile screens as well as desktop. You can use your library, characters, notes, family tree, and every other section right from your browser.
