DeepQuill is a private desktop writing environment for novelists working on long-form fiction. It keeps your manuscript, notes, characters, and story details in sync—so nothing slips as your book grows.
DeepQuill is early software. Some things are still rough. We’re building it in close collaboration with a small group of novelists who care deeply about craft, revision, and long-form coherence.
If you enjoy shaping tools instead of just consuming them, you’ll fit right in.
DeepQuill combines drafting, revision, and story awareness into a single environment— so your attention stays on the book, not the tools.
A best-in-class writing environment with spell and grammar checking, rich formatting, and—uniquely—your character codex integrated right into the writing surface. Hover over any character name to see their details instantly.
DeepQuill reads your manuscript and extracts character information automatically. No manual entry required—just write, and watch your codex build itself.
Visualize your story's structure. See which characters dominate each scene, track the intensity of their interactions, and spot imbalances before they become problems.
Per-scene todo lists keep track of what needs fixing. Git-based snapshots let you experiment without fear. Semantic search finds what you're looking for—even when you can't remember the exact words.
Whether you prefer a bright workspace or a dark interface that's easier on the eyes during late-night writing sessions, DeepQuill adapts to you. Switch themes instantly with a single click.
DeepQuill is being built by a novelist and software engineer who was frustrated by juggling editors, notes, spreadsheets, and wikis while revising long projects.
The goal isn’t productivity hacks or automation—it’s mental clarity while writing.
