What Hammer does

Hammer is a tool for planning and writing stories: scenes, characters, notes and timelines, with apps for Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.

This server keeps the projects on all your devices in sync and belongs entirely to you. Accounts exist only for email addresses you have approved.

Sync between all your devices
Scenes, characters, notes, timelines
Invitation-only accounts
Runs on small resources

Good to know before the first start: The first visit sets up the admin account. Then approve your co-writers’ email addresses under “Allowed Users” in the admin area — and enter this server as the sync target in the Hammer app on every device.
