Quille
What Quille is
Quille is a writing app and visual story planner for novelists and fiction writers on macOS and iOS. It helps organize outlines, chapters, scenes, characters, worldbuilding, plots, and timelines, with the same material shown as documents, lists, boards, or timelines. Board view turns pages into movable cards while preserving text, fields, and hierarchy. Pages with dates or durations can appear on timelines with multiple scales and parallel tracks. The long-form editor supports headings, body text, lists, and inline formatting. Quille imports TXT, Markdown, DOC, and DOCX files, then exports selected content as DOCX, PDF, or EPUB. It saves locally first, syncs between Mac and iPhone when cloud sync is available, and includes version history, Trash recovery, publishing tools, and offline mode. The App Store lists it as Free with in-app purchases.
