Timeline

Every epic story has a complex history. Our timeline tool lets you visualize eras, overlap story arcs, and pinpoint events down to the minute.

  • Nested Eras & Arcs

    Define the "Third Age of Sun Elves" and track multiple conflict arcs within it.

  • Event Cards

    Rich details for every event, including participants, location, and key item acquisition.

  • Custom Dating Systems

    Use standard dates or invent your own fantasy calendar (e.g., Year 245, Bloomtide 12).

Story elements

Character sheets, locations, items, events, and lore — all built in the Forge, all wired into what you write.

Custom Attributes

Build your story elements the way you want — add any label and value, on any element, with no fixed schema to fight against.

Auto-Detected As You Write

Type a character or place name into your prose and Quill Forge finds it automatically — underlined in that element's color and linked straight back to its sheet. No manual tagging.

Appearances, Tracked for You

Every element keeps a running list of every chapter and scene it shows up in — built automatically from what you write, not something you maintain by hand. Tap any appearance to jump straight there.

Editor

Every character, place, item, and event you've built lights up the moment you write it — click through and the full sheet opens right beside your prose.

Elements underlined as you write

Characters, locations, items, lore, and events each get their own underline color the instant you type their name.

Detail panel beside the page

Click any underlined mention and its sheet opens beside the manuscript, editable where you are writing.

One sidebar, seven views

Event, Spark, Outline, Plot, Elements, Comments, and Scribe, without closing the manuscript.

Scribe beside the page

Grammar and a dictionary in the chapter sidebar, on your device.

Outline

Scenes and beats stay tied to the chapter you're drafting — plan the shape, check beats off, and keep writing without losing the thread.

Scenes and nested beats

Scene cards with expandable beat trees and checkboxes, visible while you draft.

Tied to the manuscript

Outline scenes map to real chapter scenes. The one you plan is the one you write.

Plan without leaving the story

Add scenes and beats as ideas land. Collapse what you are not working on.

Mind map

Plots rarely arrive in order. Drop every thread onto an infinite canvas, draw the connections as you find them, and watch your story's architecture reveal itself.

account_tree The Broken Crown Map
The Architect of Yesterday

Infinite canvas

Zoom out for the shape of the story, or into one card to untangle a knot.

Color-coded layers

Separate plot threads, character arcs, and worldbuilding, then toggle each layer.

Linked to the story

Connect a node to a character, location, item, or piece of lore, then open its sheet.

World map

Continents, regions, routes, and linked locations on one fantasy atlas — handcrafted terrain, not AI filling in the blanks.

map The Shattered Isles
The Architect of Yesterday

Layered atlas

Continents, regions, routes, and topography as layers you can toggle.

Stamped terrain

Mountains, forests, and lakes placed by hand, so the map reads as an atlas.

Linked locations

A settlement on the map opens the same sheet as the one in the story.

Sparks

Sparks is where every stray idea, task, and note lands first — a single capture point that quietly organizes itself as you link it to the characters, chapters, and scenes it belongs to.
