This pack covers the nine named products the owner asked us to cover — Scrivener, Word, Google Docs, Atticus, Vellum, ProWritingAid, Plottr, Novelcrafter and Sudowrite — no other comparator is added. Every specific claim about a named product is checked against that product's own current public page, with the source and the date given. Where we could not source a claim, we describe Quill's own capability instead of guessing at someone else's. No scores are invented and no product is disparaged.
Legal name: Quill SI. Bare "Quill" is not a safe business name. It collides with Quill LLC (quill.com, office supplies, live trademark), QuillBot, App Store "Quill – Commonplace Book," Quill Meetings/Notes, and other live marks. Quill SI is a coined house suffix. This product is not affiliated with those companies.

Every row above states either a sourced fact (with the URL and the date it was checked) or a plain product category. No 1–10 score, ranking, or claim about bugs, quality, or missing features is made about a named competitor here — Quill's own capabilities speak for the product.

Cards, list, plot grid, all on the same manuscript. The draft follows the drag.
Optional serial parts that survive into the EPUB table of contents.
People, places, rules, timeline, research. Mentioned names become stubs automatically.
Structured links between characters, drawn in the same book.
An inbox that files an idea straight into a scene, research, or a new character.
Honest goals, open setups, name collisions, travel gaps, voice crutches, all as a first-class screen.

Cloud account, install prompt, native iOS/Android shells, App Store kit.
Every human action has an op, a spoken twin, and an assistant path. Metered.
Use Quill SI. Do not file a trademark for the word Quill. File, if you file, for the stylized mark "Quill SI" in class 9 (software) and 41 (writing education), after counsel reviews. This pack is product research, not legal advice.
