"Honestly, I've solved a lot of problems by using Plottr... I have previously used World Anvil and other software, and I found it too overwhelming, but Plottr? Plottr is perfect for my needs."

"I love the flexibility of Plottr, moving ideas around as a pantser is essential. I can also keep all the details of a project in one place, characters, setting details, and all those notes that make a world 'real'."

Take Notes and Tag Everything

Want to track your world's languages, cultures, religions, or items? With Plottr you can create unlimited, customizable Notes and Tags to conquer the complexity of your world.

 5/5

"Before using Plottr, I had notes about plot, worldbuilding, and character scattered across multiple tools. Now with Plottr, that has changed! All my notes are under one hood, and I can link them with tags - much better for continuity and planning works that share details!"

"Without Plottr, I may have abandoned years of work spread over files and files of Google docs... Instead of immediately stressing and wasting tons of time in searches, I can find what I need in Plottr in no time. As I build the world and characters for the early books, it will make future books in the series so much easier."

From Worldbuilding to Outline

When you're done developing your world, Plottr makes it easy to visually outline and refine the plot with draggable scene cards, plus over 30 templates based on proven storytelling structures.

"I have suggested Plottr to my book coach clients. I coach historical fiction. Plottr allows them to keep a chronological track of what is happening in the world during the time the story unfolds. The photo ability is great for visual learners to "see' what their world looks like."

 5/5

"My books are usually pretty complex with multiple intertwining storylines, so it's easy to forget minor character details. I use [Plottr] for my worldbuilding and character development so I can just look back at it without needing to reread chapters in earlier books in a series."

When I made a move to another genre after writing over sixty books, I knew I needed help in organizing my research and outline. Plottr has been amazing for helping me do that. It's now become a major tool in my writer's toolbox!
