Description

“The biggest software advance for writers since the word processor.” —Michael Marshall Smith, bestselling author

Typewriter. Ring-binder. Scrapbook. Scrivener combines all the writing tools you need to craft your first draft, from nascent notion to final full stop.

Tailor-made for creating long manuscripts, Scrivener banishes page fright by allowing you to compose your text in any order, in sections as large or small as you like. Got a great idea but don’t know where it fits? Write when inspiration strikes and find its place later. Grow your manuscript organically, idea by idea.

Whether you plan or plunge, Scrivener works your way: meticulously outline every last detail first, or hammer out a complete draft and restructure later. Or do a bit of both. All text sections in Scrivener are fully integrated with its outlining tools, so working with an overview of your manuscript is only ever a tap away, and turning Chapter Four into Chapter One is as simple as drag and drop.

Need to refer to research? In Scrivener, your background material is always at hand. Write a description based on a photograph. Reference a video or PDF. Check for consistency with an earlier chapter. On the iPad, open two documents side-by-side; on the iPhone, flip between research and writing with just two taps.

Once you’re ready to share your work with the world, simply compile everything into a single document for printing, or export to popular formats such as Word, PDF, Final Draft or plain text. You can even share using different formatting, so that you can write in your favorite font and still keep your editor happy.

Finde leider keine Vorformatierung für Drehbücher

Tine1960 on

Beworben wird die App zum einfachen Schreiben von Drehbüchern - außerdem ist die App angeblich in Deutsch - sämtliche Erklärungen sind aber auf Englisch. Auch eine Vorformatierung fürs Drehbuch finde ich nicht - es gibt nur eine manuelle Formatierung. Genau dafür wollte ich aber die App - sonst hätte ich auch Pages nehmen können. Für mich leider daher nutzlos und rausgeschmissenes Geld.

Super .. plus Wünsche

Similarion on

Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Alles funktioniert super und ist auch leicht zu finden. Und es gibt auch kein Subscription Model. Den 5ten Stern gibt‘s, wenn ich meine eigene Cloud (in meinem Fall Tresorit) nutzen kann. Dropbox kommt für mich nicht in Frage. Wenn das geht, dann kauf‘ ich auch noch eine Lizenz für den PC. Auch Export als „Word-Normseiten“ wäre super, da so gut wie alle Verlage, das so verlangen.

The app is good but.. Dropbox

CartelBishop on

The app is really good, it makes it really easy to write on the go but it only provides synching via Dropbox. I don’t know if I am too dumb to synch files, I guess I press the right buttons but they don’t always show up where I want them. iCloud support would make this app godlike.

Awesome with space for improvements

AphilT on

It might be audacious to ask for page view on iPhone, but still I do. I’d like to set the book including page breaks. Except for that I don’t miss a thing. On the contrary. It’s a great writing tool wherever you go.

No iCloud Support unbelivable

Iboy on

No icloud support - dropbox very unstable Not worth to buy without real icloud support

Still no iCloud Drive Support

z3phir on

How hard can it be to support iCloud Drive instead of having to synch and break with Dropbox? It’s been too long

Erstklassiges Autorenprogramm

Ida-Mara on

Diese App als kleiner Bruder zur Desktop-Version ist rundum gelungen. Das Wichtigste: Das Synchronisieren zwischen Mac und iPad funktioniert fehlerlos. Man braucht keine Angst zu haben, dass Daten verloren gehen. Auch für nur App-Nutzer fantastisch, da auch die App etliche Features enthält. Neben dem Verfassen der Texte, kann man seine Notizen, Bilder und sonstige Rechercheergebnis hier an einem Ort ablegen. Je nach Arbeitsmodus kann problemlos zwischen Karteikartenansicht und Textansicht gewechselt werden. Kommentare, Icons und Labels können pro Szene vergeben werden. Alles funktioniert stabil.
