"Your pacing in Chapter 3 is strong — consider…"
A Kanban board built for writers. Move projects from Idea → Drafting → Revising → Done and never lose track of what you're working on.
Log your writing days, track session word counts, set monthly goals, and watch your 7-day chart grow. Momentum is everything.
See your entire writing year at a glance with a GitHub-style heatmap — four intensity shades show light days from heavy ones. Velocity cards surface your 7-day average, 30-day average, and consistency score so you can spot slumps before they become habits.
Capture breakthroughs mid-session, save practice excerpts, and promote ideas straight into your pipeline with one click.
A full chapter-by-chapter drafting environment with drag-and-drop reordering, beat indicator tags, tension score badges, and a focus drafting view with auto-save.
One keystroke drops you into a fullscreen writing overlay — no sidebar, no stats, no noise. Just your chapter title, a centered textarea, and a quiet progress bar. Esc brings everything back.
Hit a word count milestone, a streak record, or a manuscript percentage and instantly download a branded badge sized for Instagram Stories (9:16) or a square post. Every share drives writers back to the tracker.
Map your beats chapter-by-chapter with Three-Act, Hero's Journey, or Save the Cat! templates. Build character dossiers and worldbuilding entries — then cross-reference them: link a Faction to its Location, a Character to their Magic System, a History entry to the Artifact that caused it.
Get personalized guidance powered by Gemini — with your actual projects, notes, and word counts as context. Not generic advice. Your advice.
Paste any scene and get an instant visual breakdown: Dialogue vs. Narrative vs. Action ratio, a Tension Curve that plots stakes beat-by-beat, and a Sensory Details checklist across all five senses.
Download a Shunn-standard manuscript (.docx) with proper margins, running headers, and double-spacing — or generate a formatted query letter PDF with your live project stats pre-filled. No reformatting. No guessing.
