FAQ
Install, privacy, models, and platform questions.
General
Does the agent modify local files?
The agent can write project Markdown when you ask—use snapshots and review diffs before trusting large edits.
Learn more →Does WriteX support collaboration?
No live co-editing like Notion—use Git or a synced folder and manage conflicts yourself.
Learn more →Does WriteX report crashes?
Initial public beta sends no crash telemetry; future opt-in reporting would be documented in privacy policy.
Learn more →Where is my data stored?
Manuscripts in your project folder; settings and encrypted keys in local app data; agent index in the project.
Learn more →Is WriteX free?
WriteX is free during public beta; model usage is billed by your BYOK provider.
Learn more →When is macOS available?
Public macOS beta is deferred pending Apple signing; Windows is available via Store or Gitee.
Learn more →Do I need a WriteX account?
No. Configure your BYOK API key—there is no WriteX login.
Learn more →Can I use WriteX offline? How do updates work?
Edit offline; models and web search need network. Updates come from Store/GitHub/Gitee without uploading docs.
Learn more →Why does the backup installer show SmartScreen?
The Gitee NSIS build lacks Authenticode signing; Microsoft Store installs usually avoid this prompt.
Learn more →Microsoft Store or Gitee installer?
Prefer Microsoft Store; Gitee hosts a backup NSIS installer and update mirror.
Learn more →Does WriteX upload my documents?
No. Project files stay in your local folder; WriteX does not upload manuscript content.
Learn more →Which models are supported?
WriteX includes first-class providers (including DeepSeek) plus OpenAI-compatible custom endpoints—no WriteX-hosted models.
Learn more →Can I edit Word or PDF files?
WriteX centers on Markdown projects; Word/PDF may attach as read-only context, not layout editing.
