About Quilva
Quilva is an offline-first writing and creative workspace that brings the entire writing process into one application, from the first idea through planning, outlining, research, mindmapping, notes, drafting, editing, design and publishing. Designed for novels, screenplays, essays, books, research projects and other substantial written work, Quilva lets users organise their ideas, structure their work and develop their writing without relying on multiple applications. It also provides a different approach to authorship: rather than analysing finished text and guessing whether it was produced by AI, Quilva records evidence of how work was created, including typing, edits, deletions, pauses, writing time and typed versus pasted content. This can be used to generate a Human Authorship Certificate with a QR code for verification. Quilva works locally on the user's computer, keeping their writing and creation data under their control.

Storyist
A powerful writing environment for novelists and screenwriters. Do you have a story to tell? Unlike conventional word processors, Storyist helps you track your plot, characters, and settings, and keeps all of your writing organized and accessible— so you can focus on telling your story. Storyist provides a rich text editor with support for comments, images, headers, footers, and style sheets so you can create properly formatted manuscripts and screenplays. And Storyist comes with manuscript and screenplay templates so you can focus on the writing, not the formatting. Storyist lets you sketch out a story using index cards and then refine it with customizable plot, character, and setting sheets. When you're ready to put words on the page, Storyist can even display your index cards next to your manuscript as you write. Storyist organizes your novel manuscripts, screenplays, research, and other project-related writing and can store them in the cloud so you can access them quickly.

Slugline
Just start writing—Slugline figures out the screenplay formatting as you go. You get a powerful Outline, Timeline, and color-coded notes, all without taking your hands off the keyboard. And all based on a plain-text file that’s compatible with everything. Slugline 2 is a free download, and works without watermarks or limitations until you pass page six, at which point you can upgrade to Unlimited Writing. Kick the tires at no cost — or, if all you write is short films, never pay a dime! Slugline 2 has dark mode. And a completely new design that maintains Slugline’s beloved no-buttons simplicity, while providing quick access to formatting options, the Outline Navigator, and the new Timeline, which gives you a bird’s-eye view of your structure and pacing. Like virtual index cards on a corkboard, anything you see in Slugline 2’s Outline Navigator can be drag-reordered. The associated bits of screenplay come along for the ride, creating a powerful tool for spitballing ideas in an outline.
