Quill
A word processor for your Mac
Quill is coming soon, and it will need a Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
The word processor you know open to the agent on your Mac
Quill has the tabs, ribbon and keyboard shortcuts you’ve used for years, and it opens and saves .docx directly. An AI agent on the same Mac can run every command, so you can ask for a draft or a formatting fix and keep editing the same document yourself.
-
Familiar from the start
Tabs run across the top for Home, Insert, Layout, Review and View, with a ribbon of commands and the keyboard shortcuts you already know.
-
Opens and saves .docx
Quill works with .docx files directly, and it also opens and saves .rtf and plain text. You also get styles, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, pictures, links, page setup, find and replace, spelling and word count.
-
Ask an agent to help
Every command in Quill can also be run by an AI agent on your Mac, such as Claude Code. Ask it to draft a report or fix the formatting, then keep editing the document yourself.
-
Stays on your Mac
Quill runs on your Mac and needs no account, and agents can reach it only from the same machine. The “Connect an Agent” window shows the one line that connects Claude Code.
Common questions
When will Quill be released, and what will it cost?
Neither the release date nor the price is set yet. When it arrives, Quill will be sold like every Handy Tools app: One fee, lifetime access.
Which files will Quill open?
Quill opens and saves .docx files directly, and it also opens and saves .rtf and plain text. It exports PDF as well.
How does the AI agent work?
Every command in Quill can also be run by an AI agent on your Mac, such as Claude Code, and the “Connect an Agent” window shows the one line that connects it. The agent can read the document back and look at a picture of a page to check its own work.
Does Quill need an account?
No. Quill runs entirely on your Mac, needs no account, and agents reach it only from that same Mac.
Will it feel like the word processor I use now?
That’s the aim: tabs for Home, Insert, Layout, Review and View, a ribbon of commands, and the same keyboard shortcuts, so you’ll know your way around straight away.
