Built while writing the books
I'm Michael J Phillips, a novelist from Penarth. I made these two tools to keep my own plots and characters straight. They're free, they work offline, and everything you type stays on your own device.
Plot Braider
For novels with two or more storylines or timelines. See every strand as a thread across your chapters, spot strands that go quiet, and catch payoffs that land before their setups.

Cast Namer
Character names that fit the decade and place they were born, in 33 regions worldwide, from 1940s Wales to 2010s Seoul. Tracks your cast's ages and steers you away from clashing initials.
