Scribbly turns your manuscript into a dashboard — a chapter-by-chapter tension curve, every character and thread tracked across the draft, and a structural map of how it all holds together.
Pay what you want — from $10.
Every chapter gets a tension score, plotted chapter-by-chapter against your act breaks and plot anchors. Slack stretches and overcrowded peaks show up as shape, not guesswork — so you know exactly where the middle sags before a reader tells you.
Scribbly follows every named character and plot thread across the manuscript, chapter by chapter. A thread that's been quiet for six chapters gets flagged before your reader forgets it existed — so revisions target the actual gaps, not a hunch.
Your highlighted passages cluster into a force-directed map by theme, weighted by how often they recur and how closely they connect. It's a picture of your manuscript's real preoccupations — not a synopsis you wrote, but what the pages add up to.
Scribbly locates your rising action, midpoint, climax, falling action, and resolution by percentage through the manuscript — so you can see at a glance whether your climax lands where the genre expects it to, or fires too early.
Restructure mode turns everything Scribbly found into action: hub chapters that can recover multiple fading threads at once, and strategic insertion points for scenes your manuscript is missing — each with the specific impact of making the change.
Flags overused words across chapters — a word spiking three times in Act 2 gets caught before a reader notices the tic.
Overlays Draft 1 and Draft 2 tension curves so you can see whether a revision actually raised the stakes, or just moved them.
Tracks the balance of dialogue versus prose scene by scene, so a manuscript that goes silent — or talky — for too long stands out.
Starting at $10+ — you decide the rest.
