About

WritersDB

Read full description

WritersDB (The Writer’s Database) is a free web application designed to help writers manage the business of writing. You can keep track of the titles you’ve written, the markets to which you submit, and the status of each submission. With the web application can keep track of word counts for each title on an ongoing basis, and organize your titles into folders. You can search your markets based on a variety of factors, such as pay rate, typical response time, permitted word count, or custom tagging (for example, genres accepted). You can review your submission records to see which markets have already been tried for a particular manuscript, how long a market has taken to respond to you in the past, which manuscripts have sold, and more. The WritersDB mobile app is a companion to that web-based service. It provides convenient access to the functionality of the website, and the data you’ve stored there, on the go. Note that access via the mobile app, like the WritersDB API, is available to Pro-level users.

About

Quietleaf

Features
Read full description

Quietleaf is a calm, minimalist writing app for private notes, journaling, reading notes, and the thoughts you want to keep. Most note-taking apps keep asking for more—more organization, more features, more systems. Quietleaf is built on a different idea. A quiet place to write. No accounts. No feeds. No dashboards. No unnecessary clutter. Just open the app, write, and return to your thoughts whenever you need them. Whether you’re collecting ideas from a book, writing a journal entry, saving a recipe, drafting something important, or simply thinking on the page, Quietleaf stays out of your way. When a word interrupts your flow, look it up with the built-in dictionary and continue writing without leaving your note. Features: • Private notes stored on your device • Calm, distraction-free writing • Journal entries and everyday notes • Search across note titles and contents • Spaces for simple organization • Built-in dictionary lookup • Rich text formatting • No account required • Export your notes anytime Quietleaf is for people who believe less can be more. Because the best notebook isn’t the one with the most features. It’s the one you keep coming back to. A notebook that doesn’t pull you away.
