Quoll Writer info, screenshots & reviews Alternatives to Quoll Writer

Quoll Writer's interface is focused on what matters, your words. Controls are where you would expect them to be. It employs a familiar tabbed interface to allow you to work on multiple chapters and assets at once.

Just like the real world, the world you create is full of characters, locations and items, Quoll Writer lets you easily create and manage those assets.

Remembering what happened when, where and between whom is problematic when you're 50,000 words into a story you've been working on for months. Quoll Writer allows you to annotate the text with plot outline items for key story points and scenes for structure.

We all have phrases and constructs that we use and wish we didn't. The problem finder can help improve the quality of your writing but it is there to help not instruct.

As you would expect Quoll Writer has a built in spell checker, it can be turned on or off in a single click.

More is not always better but knowing how much is vital. At the click of a button you can find out how many words your story has and how much you have written in the current session.

The Idea Board allows you to quickly record and organize your ideas. You can add new types of ideas, rate ideas, sort them and convert them into assets or chapters.

We all need to practice our writing (well nearly all of us), a warm-up can help you limber up before you start on your current project or just with practice. Do you have writer's block? Do you want some new ideas? A warm-up will help and with nearly 300 prompts to choose from there is sure to be something for everyone.

No one wants to be distracted when writing and let's face it computers are a veritable pandora's box of distractions. Quoll Writer's full screen mode, accessible at the touch of a button, will help keep you focused and on track.

To make getting started easier Quoll Writer supports importing your existing projects from Microsoft docx files. Export your project to docx, html, epub and pdf formats.

Open source, powerful, stays out of your way. It has a lot of great built-in tools that are there when you need them (like the problem finder), but it doesn't overwhelm you with its power. If you just need a distraction-free environment, it can do that, too. Full screen, customizable, just how you like it.

Surprised it isn't more popular to be honest.

marriemuller Free; solid; several features; customizable; new versions released quickly and with new features; developer very receptive; great for writing novels.

Positive comment • about 3 years ago • as an alternative to Scrivener

shall No cost. Really solid features for writing novels or short stories. It's what I consider a Scrivener-like program without having the (sometimes obtuse and sometimes odd) interface that plagues Scrivener. Cards (corkboard), character/item tracking, notes, full-screen minimal mode, nice editing features, and no format lock-in make this a must-try. I will say it's not a pretty as Scrivener.
