Where PlotLens diverges

Post-writing intelligence, not pre-writing planning

Plottr helps you outline before you write. PlotLens analyzes what you've already written and keeps it consistent as you continue. They complement each other well — plan with Plottr, validate with PlotLens.

Automated canon, not manual entry

Plottr requires you to manually create character profiles and location notes. PlotLens reads your manuscripts and builds these automatically, then alerts you when new writing contradicts established facts.

Works inside your editor

Plottr exports to Scrivener but is primarily a standalone planning app. PlotLens integrates directly into Google Docs, Word, and Scrivener as a companion to your active writing process.
