01 - Plan the story

Plan the whole book, not just the word count.

A novel is a cast, a world, a chronology, and a shape. Quilvo holds all of it beside the manuscript - as deep as a dedicated worldbuilding tool, and perfectly quiet when you only want to write.

02 - The desk

Your novel has more than one thread.

Quilvo keeps the daily writing beside the long manuscript: words today, current draft, target pace, and the next thing waiting for you.
