Quill Pilot is a writing app for the Mac, made for novelists, screenwriters and poets. You write in a clean editor, and it reads what you have written and shows you how the story works.

It maps the tension across a whole manuscript and flags structural trouble, each warning with its page range: a sagging middle, a passive protagonist, a story that starts late. It tracks how each character changes from chapter to chapter and keeps a character library for every document. It reads a screenplay differently from a novel, and in a poem it looks at meter, rhyme scheme, imagery and structure.

It exports to Word, PDF, ePub, Markdown and most other formats. All the analysis runs on your Mac: nothing is uploaded, and there is no subscription.

It doesn't write for you. It shows you what is already on the page.
