Run the work of a deal, not just record it.

Every manuscript carries dozens of moving parts: follow-ups, response deadlines, manuscript ETAs, cover approvals, renewals. Quillaris keeps the tasks, projects, deadlines, and reminders right beside the clients and deals they belong to, so nothing lives in a separate to-do app.


Tasks that move with the work.

Quick-add a task inline, set a due date and assignee right on the row with no detail panel required, and let recurring tasks roll their own due date forward each time you check them off.

  • Grouped by urgency. Overdue, Due Today, Upcoming, and No Date, so the next thing to do is always at the top.
  • Priority, subtasks & comments. Five priority levels, one level of subtasks, and a comment trail on every item.
  • Recurring without the re-find. Mark it done and the same task advances to its next date instead of cluttering your list.

Group the tasks, files, and people behind a campaign.

A project bundles related tasks with its own file area and a named set of collaborators: a launch, a Frankfurt slate, a multi-book series. Keep it private to its team or open to the whole agency.

  • Private or team visibility. Tasks inherit the project's audience automatically; admins always see everything.
  • A dedicated file area. PDFs, Word, and Excel up to 50 MB, separate from the global Documents vault.
  • Project & campaign task tabs. Every project and submission-campaign task rolls up with its own open-item count badge.

Every deadline that matters, on one calendar.

Quillaris reads time-sensitive dates straight out of your records and plots them automatically, with no double entry. Toggle event types on and off, and switch between day, week, month, and year views.

  • Sixteen event types drawn from live data: follow-ups, response deadlines, renewals, reversions, publication dates, option respond-by dates, advance installments, and more.
  • Self-clearing deadlines. A submission's response deadline drops off the moment the editor replies.
  • Click any chip to jump straight to the underlying client, deal, or submission.

A home base that surfaces what's due.

The Workspace is yours to arrange. Drag, resize, and add from more than a dozen widgets. Alert tiles count what needs attention; the My Tasks widget lets you check items off without leaving the screen.

  • Drag, resize, customize. Your layout saves to your account and follows you across devices.
  • Reminder widgets. Overdue follow-ups, expiring contracts, overdue advances, options outstanding, publishing soon.
  • Agency or self view. Admins flip every tile and panel between agency-wide and their own client work.

No second app
The to-do list lives where the work does.
Tasks attach to the client, deal, or project they belong to, so the context is one click away, not in a separate tab.
Nothing slips
Deadlines come from your data.
Response dates, renewals, and ETAs plot themselves on the calendar and dashboard the moment you enter the underlying record.
Built to scale
From a solo desk to a full team.
Personal task views, agency-wide rollups, project collaborators, and per-role scoping all work from the same task model.
