What Students and Teachers Are Saying
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"I always struggled with where to start on essays. This tool made me realise I actually had enough ideas — I just needed to organise them. The argumentative structure with the counter-argument section was exactly what my teacher was looking for."
"I now use this as a teaching tool in class. Students fill it in on their laptops and then we compare outlines. It's brilliant for showing the difference between a good thesis and a vague one because the structure makes the gap obvious."
"Used it for a research paper outline. The Research Paper type is more basic than a full academic template but it gave me a solid scaffold to start from. The PDF export is clean and my supervisor was happy with the structure."
"Several of my students use this when preparing scholarship application essays. Having the outline ready means the actual writing goes much faster and they stay on topic. The copy-to-clipboard feature is really handy."
