Summary

Koala Quill is an app designed to motivate consistent writing by rewarding daily writing with levels and tokens, while penalizing inactivity by demoting users.

Abstract

Koala Quill is an innovative writing application that emphasizes the importance of consistent writing over other metrics such as ideas, followers, or SEO skills. By incentivizing daily writing with a leveling system and token rewards, the app encourages users to maintain a regular writing habit. Users earn promotions and rewards for daily writing, but face demotion if they fail to write. Tokens earned can be spent on writing prompts, undoing demotions, or entering tournaments, and the only way to earn more tokens is by writing. The app is currently web-based, with plans for Android and iOS versions. Koala Quill is free to use and aims to push writers to commit to their craft daily.

Finally, an app that forces you to write

Unlock levels, earn tokens, and rise from lowly peasant to archmage — but only if you write every day

The most important thing when it comes to writing is not how many great ideas you can generate.

Or how many followers you have.

Or how well you’ve mastered SEO.

The most important thing is to be consistent. It really is that simple, except for one problem — you’re never as consistent as you had planned.

That’s why I made Koala Quill, the app that forces you to write. For every day that you write, you’ll get promoted and earn rewards. But if you skip a day, you’ll go down one level. And the app will hold you accountable with ruthless tenacity.

Currently, Koala Quill is only accessible in your web browser. Android and iOS apps are coming soon.

Whenever you stop typing, you’ll stop earning tokens. Tokens can be used to purchase writing prompts, undo demotions, and enter tournaments. But if you’re running low on funds, the only way to earn more is to open your drafts folder and start writing.

Koala Quill is 100% free. Join now, and let the koala push you to write every day!

This is where your journey begins (burakerk/Pixabay)
