No matter what word processor I start to use I get frustrated really quickly because it doesn’t solve some of the problems I have with writing. Keeping on track is the main issue that I have. I decided to build my own writing app.

What it does:

• Analyzes:
  • Characters present in the scene
  • Setting and time of day
  • Point of view and narrative tone
  • Stakes and emotional tension
  • Sensory details (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell)
  • Dialogue/narrative balance
  • Echo words (repeated words that may need attention)
  • Scene structure (inciting incident, turning points, crisis, climax, resolution)

🧵 Plot Thread Tracking

• Automatic detection of plot threads across your manuscript
• Smart categorization: Main plot, subplots, character arcs, mysteries, conflicts, relationships
• Thread lifecycle tracking: Introduced, developing, resolved, or abandoned
• Visual organization: Grouped by status and type with color-coded indicators
• Continuity monitoring: Identifies potentially abandoned threads
• Scene tracking: See which scenes each thread appears in
• Thread matching: Intelligently matches thread variations across analyses

📊 Visual Story Tracking

• Scene Information Panel: Persistent right-margin analysis display with customizable fields
• Bubble Chart Timeline: Visual representation of your manuscript structure
  • Chapter and scene navigation
  • Word count visualization (bubble size)
  • Dialogue percentage tracking (bubble color)
  • Click any bubble to jump to that scene
  • Syncs with cursor position
  • Timeline strip shows current position
• Plot Threads Panel: Track all story threads in one organized view
  • Expandable groups by status (active, abandoned, resolved)
  • Type-based categorization with visual icons
  • Scene appearance tracking for each thread
  • One-click thread management (clear all)
