Our Software

Lectern

A quiet room for words.

Lectern is a long-form writing environment shaped around the way books actually get made — paragraph by paragraph, scene by scene, without ribbons of toolbars or tabs of distraction.

  • Markdown-clean, exports straight to Word
  • Built-in compendium for characters, places, and lore
  • Optional AI assistance (bring your own API key)
  • Tranquility mode — full-screen, no chrome
  • Your files stay yours. No cloud lock-in. Ever.

Who We Are

About Necropolis

Necropolis Publishing is a small, independent house with two mandates: build the tools we wish we had as writers, and publish the kind of stories we wish we'd grown up reading.

Lectern is our flagship piece of software — a long-form writing app shaped by years of trying to write inside word processors that were never built for it. Our fiction line will follow in the same spirit: careful craft, no apology, no compromise.

Quiet rooms, sharp tools, honest work.
