Help with Lorewell

Find your way around the library, storage, reading tools, private AI, and ideas across your books.

Lorewell works without an account. Your books and local AI context stay on this device unless you explicitly choose a connected provider.

Choose library location

Each backend has a separate library. Switching saves the current reading position, then loads the target. Nothing is copied or deleted.

Are you sure?

Rename bookmark

Use a short label, or leave it empty to show the reading position.

Save highlight

Library annotations

Portable highlights, notes, and bookmarks in the current storage library.

Ideas & connections

Explore source-grounded relationships and help Lorewell learn which ones are genuinely useful. Reviews never alter your books.

Key concepts
Optional. Sends selected indexed passages only after you choose Enrich.

Curate concept

These portable choices overlay derived concepts. Re-indexing can refresh evidence without erasing your label, visibility, or merge decision.

Reading settings

Typography applies to reflowable books and plain text. PDF pages retain their original layout.

Reading preferences

“All books” follows your global defaults; “This book only” keeps its own settings and can return to the global defaults at any time.

AI providers

Lorewell can run a private model entirely in this browser. NakliOS AI remains the first choice when the app is hosted. An OpenAI-compatible endpoint is an optional fallback.

Built in · Gemma 4 E2B Transformers.js 4.2 · WebGPU · about 3.4 GB, cached locally
No book text is uploaded. Model files are downloaded from Hugging Face.

Endpoint or BYOK

The endpoint and model stay in this browser. The API key is session-only and is never written into a book, library export, or log.

Ollama and LM Studio expose OpenAI-compatible APIs. Start the local server, allow CORS for this Lorewell origin, then test the connection.
AI is optional. Reading and local lexical search do not depend on it.

Ask from your sources

Lorewell retrieves local passages first. The provider receives only those excerpts and must cite them as [S1], [S2], and so on.
