Description

All new version, built from the ground up using Apple's standard, master-detail style for full compatibility with iOS functionality including Dark Mode.
Even if you don't own the desktop version of Save the Cat!®, you can still use this amazing tool, touted as the "secret weapon" of the working writer, to help build better, more powerful stories, with greater resonance and emotional impact.
Whenever your creative juices start flowing you'll have this revolutionary app, which is based on Blake Snyder's best-selling books and software, at your fingertips. You'll delight in the ability to structure your screenplay, teleplay, stageplay or novel the Save the Cat!® way.
By incorporating the methods, tips and tactics found in the Save the Cat!® series of books on story structure, this application will help you to:
* Develop a powerful Logline and Title
* Choose one of the 10 unique Save the Cat!® Genres
* Complete a Blake Snyder Beat Sheet (BS2) with variations for screenplays, novels, and 1/2 hour and 1 hour tv episodes.
* Use “the Board” to create cards for each scene and arrange them in the perfect order and to track character arcs and other important aspects of your story. Just long-press on a scene or other element in the Board then pick what you want to insert at that point.
* Add sequences to combine multiple scenes.
* Add labels to the Board to keep track of important points.
* Create Emotional Changes for each and every scene
* Create Set-ups and Payoffs as your protagonist progresses through the story
Sync your files across devices. This is a manual process so you're in complete control as to when you post and download your changes. Just create an account and login on all your devices. If you had a Save the Cat! account for the website or for when you purchased STC, that will not work here. You'll need to create a new account.
You can even add one or more writing partners to your project and sync your changes with them if you have the Premium or Pro level. Enter the username for their new STC account.
The free version allows you to add projects and work on your title, logline, genre, and the beat sheet. Many of the features listed below require an in-app purchase.
Essentials has all the basic functionality you need to develop a screenplay, novel, or tv episode with characters, locations set-ups, and pay-offs.
Premium adds the ability to track things or objects, and relationships. You'll also be able to develop a novel by chapters instead of using a beat sheet.
Pro adds the ability to develop an entire series of movies or novels that use all the same characters, locations, things, and relationships and to track their stories across the entire series. You can also develop an entire tv series with multiple seasons.
Other cool updates include the ability to have multiple versions of your beat sheet and multiple versions of your board for each beat sheet.
Much improved script typing. And, if you're working on a novel, just type in your manuscript with proper formatting.
All new facts section keeping track of important facts ("Bible" for tv writers) for characters, locations and other entities.
Add important elements for characters, locations and other entities that you need to track through the story. Add the character or entity to the Board and track those items through the story.
As always you can add attachments such as photos, pdf's, and other important research documents so you have everything at your fingertips.

Save the Cat! Reviews

Love the book, hating the app

iamstevetay on

Canada

The UX on this app is infuriating. Trying to add text to the beats and I almost always get stuck in the beat field. There’s no way to get out of it. On the occasion I can see the longline if I click on that I can get out but if not there’s no way to move out of the field. So frustrating. I hope they can fix this. Happy to send a video of what I’m talking about. Currently using the latest version on an iPhone 12 Pro.

Improved app and promo code to migrate from older version

NikeSole2017 on

The app features some improvements, it is better structured and more intuitive. I contacted the customer service and they provided me a promo code to migrate over to the essential version at no additional cost. They even helped me with the technicalities of the process. Highly satisfied.

You need to manually save like a desktop 15 years ago

I would have given this app a 5 star review after about 2 weeks of use, happy to be using the paid version of the app. Every time I’ve ever had my iPad run out of juice, I go plug it in and open it back up and everything is exactly where it was when the iPad ran out of battery. But this app... I just wrote 2 whole scenes when my iPad died on me. Go get it plugged in and open it back up... and the app started back at the beginning. I selected my project and everything I’d worked on was gone. Two whole scenes. It doesn’t back up like Google Docs, you have to keep interrupting yourself to remember to hit save like I’m typing in WordPerfect on my mom’s IBM back in the day, apparently.

App does download on my Mac

The app is NOT available on my iMac. How is supposed to connect to my main computer? I don’t mind using my iPhone or iPad occasionally, on the run, but I use my Mac everyday. I’m not going to pay twice.

Pay again?

The Cat in the... fedora? on

Canada

I spent $27 on the previous save the cat app, now i got to spend another $30+? is there no way to get at least the first tier since I paid for the previous app? If not, I'm very dissapointed

Is there a legitimate reason for no Core i3 support?

itzagr8tday on

United States

I write on the go, so my goal was to sync my work on my mobile with my MacBook. But unfortunately ‘STC’ is unable accomplish what Final Draft does just fine. Had I known beforehand I won’t have purchased. That’s a shame.

Issue

The app is e excellent , but mi creativity grow in Spanish can you make this app with a configuration In Spanish please and thank sorry for bothering

Monthly Subscription Option?

Why no monthly subscription option or trail period to test drive the app?

Marvelous Tool!

Misha Penelope on

United States

This is the sort of application any novelist may hope for (along with the book, Saves the Cat Writes a Novel). Personally, this was the very tool I was hoping to find after reading the corresponding book! It is simple, sure, albeit this is one of those instances in which simple is all that is necessary, for such a tool will make sure all of the needed components are there, so that you can create a compelling story: how to ensure you capture & keep the attention of your readers is found within these tried-and-true blueprints. …If one is unfamiliar with story formulas, described in Saves the Cat Writes a Novel, this app may not seem helpful. Thereby it is best to either read the book first, or research what each ingredient is independently (& understand it) before proceeding to utilize this application as an outlining tool for your story. So appreciative of both of these tools; they are essential to all writers who’d like to know the winning recipe for a wonderful & impactful story. Thank you Saves the Cat team!

Between Save the Cat and Scrivener, writing would be harder.
