Quoll Writer, für mich beste kostenlose Schreib-Software! Bietet die wichtigsten Funktionen, wie Notizen, Charaktere, Orte etc. Lässt sich intuitiv bedienen. Von der übersichtlichen Führungsoberfläche mit Menüs und Schreibfläche, gelangt man mit einem Klick zur aufgeräumten Version, wo man selbst Hintergrundbilder uvm. einstellen kann. Sehr zu empfehlen!

QuollWriter is the right tool for authors who aim to write large works (for short stories etc. it is too overloaded).
Anyway, there are too many disadvantages for me:
I can’t find text formattings for Headings, just for bold, italic and underlined passages or words. No Markdown support, but that does not matter much.

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.

From their Download page: "There is currently no version of Quoll Writer for Mac or Linux. To do either will take some changes, potentially large ones for Mac (Mac OSX is positively hostile towards tabbed interfaces) and Java look-n-feel implementations on Linux leave quite a lot to be desired. It is possible to do both but I'm only going to do so if there is a real demand, so speak up and let me know."
In 2024, version 3 is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.

MacOS and Linux versions are in beta phase with version 3.0
This writer is the one of the best alternative to Scrivener. I also advice you to try Obsidian but you must build a writing structure for Chapters, characters etc.
