ShyEditor

ShyEditor is a browser-based writing app that tries to be the modern word processor for serious long-form work. The headline pitch is an AI assistant for unblocking, refining and giving real-time feedback on prose, paired with a context-aware grammar checker, version history, and a research-oriented knowledge base with entity suggestions. The editor itself is markdown-first with support for tables, images and to-do lists, plus a dozen themes and writing-goal tracking.

What sets it apart from a generic Notion-with-AI clone is the academic plumbing: built-in bibliography and citation management across APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard and IEEE, automatic source imports, and exports to TXT, PDF, DOCX and Markdown. The free Basic tier gives 20 AI credits a month and 100MB of storage, while Pro at $10/month unlocks 500 credits, 5GB, AI image generation and priority support. That credit-based model means heavy AI users will burn through Pro quickly.

It's aimed squarely at novelists, students, academics, journalists, bloggers and lawyers — anyone who needs both an AI co-writer and structured research/citation tooling in one place. There's no public API or open-source code, and the underlying LLM is not disclosed, so power users who want to swap models or self-host should look elsewhere.
