Quill

A quiet journal that helps you find the right word.

One email when Quill is ready for you to try, and nothing else. Privacy

You're on the list. We'll write when Quill is ready for you to try.

Most writing tools either get out of your way or get in it. Quill aims to be a quiet room to think in, with help close by when you ask for it.

Select a word and Quill suggests alternatives that suit the sentence, not just the dictionary entry. Ask the coach and it responds to your craft: rhythm, clarity, the place where a sentence goes soft. It won't rewrite what you meant. Suggestions come from Claude, and an offline WordNet thesaurus keeps working without a connection.

Your journal is private by design. Quill only accepts connections from your own computer, and every entry is saved to your personal Parachute vault, not someone else's cloud.

  • A thesaurus that reads the sentence

    Synonyms that suit your sentence, ranked by the meaning you're after.

  • A coach for your craft

    Notes in the margin on rhythm, clarity and voice, only when you ask for them.

  • Beautiful by default

    Newsreader and Inter, smart typography, and Markdown underneath.

  • Your vault, your words

    Entries are saved to your own vault, and the app refuses connections from anywhere but your computer.
