Features

Everything your story needs, nothing it doesn't.

No word counts, no distractions, no kitchen sink. Just a canvas and the tools to think a narrative through.

A home for your cast

Character cards hold names, portraits, backstories and motivations. No more scrolling through documents to remember who wants what.

A card for every piece

Scenes, characters, locations, timelines, lists, notes, images, links and more. Every piece of your story gets the right container.

Threads with meaning

Connect any two cards and label the line. Who betrays whom, what happens where. Your plot logic, visible at a glance.

A second reader for your board

Flick Editor reads your board and points at what's missing. A character tied to no one, a place no scene uses, a card you left empty.

Saved while you think

Every move is auto-saved in the background within seconds. Close the tab mid-thought and your board will be exactly where you left it.

One board per story

Keep novels, shorts and screenplays in separate boards, organized in folders. Switch projects without losing the plot.

How it works

From a pile of notes to a plot that holds.

Empty your head

Drop every character, scene fragment and half-idea onto the canvas as cards. Messy is fine. Messy is the point.

Draw the threads

Connect cards and name each relationship. Allies, betrayals, cause and effect. The structure hiding in your notes becomes visible.

Find the shape

Rearrange until the story clicks. Spot the missing beat in act two, the character who never pays off, the thread you forgot to cut.
