Metadata and minutia
Store everything you need to remember. Add appearance details, relationships, background information, and custom notes. Each tag type includes relevant fields tailored to what you’re tracking.
Hover to see details
Hover over any tagged word in your document to see its details in a tooltip. Never lose track of character descriptions, location details, or plot points. Everything you need is one hover away.
Custom tags
Create tag types tailored to your project. Define custom fields and relationships that match exactly what you need to track. Perfect for specialized projects like fantasy worlds, technical documentation, or any domain-specific writing.
Manage tag types
Organize and customize your tags through the tag management interface. Adjust tag display styles, manage tag types, and keep your project organized.
Writing hints
Avoid cliches, reduce redundant words. Subtle visual cues help improve your writing. Filler words and weak phrases are highlighted so you can strengthen your prose. Customize or disable hints to match your preferences.
