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.

Synchronisation difficile

philtownwalker on

Utilisant scrivener sur Windows 10 depuis un bout de temps, je suis très déçu par l’application iPad trop complexe avec une synchronisation incohérente. Je regrette mon achat. Les tutoriels sont trop anglophones.

Bon mais

Oppositethink on

Problème de synchronisation.

Can’t access projects anymore

Nuby Maestro on

Ok, that’s new “dashboard view” looks good but can’t access any projects anymore. Tapping on any of them don’t open them. Long press allows to rename them and that’s it! So, the app becomes completely useless!

Inutilisable

Hubert22 on

Si votre but est de pouvoir utiliser la même application sur plusieurs appareils, oubliez! Le programme sur ordinateur fonctionne suivant une toute autre logique que celui sur ipad/iphone. Résultat: des projets méconnaissables lorsque vous passez de l'un à l'autre et des tonnes de conflits de sauvegardes. Depuis la dernière mise à jour, Scrivener se plante à chaque tentative de synchronisation. N'achetez que si vous compter ne l'utiliser que sur une seule machine.

La meilleure

Jonas Lismont on

Vous écrivez beaucoup ? Achetez Scrivener. J'ai tout essayé (Evernote, Ulysses, Bear, Byword, Word, Pages, Google docs, etc). Scrivener est beaucoup plus adapté pour l'écriture de textes (sauf sur l'aspect de la collaboration à plusieurs auteurs). Merci à l'équipe !

Très bien sauf la synchronisation avec DropBox

vincent1.618 on

J'aime vraiment beaucoup utiliser Scrivener autant sur iPad que sur Mac. Cette app est vraiment très complète et elle permet de mener à bien l'écriture d'un texte du début à la fin. Tout à vraiment été très bien penser. Par contre, la synchronisation avec Dropbox est un enfer ! La synchronisation crashes une fois sur deux, c'est vraiment pénible et dommage pour une app de cette qualité. Peut-être une synchronisation avec iCloud permettrait de résoudre ce problème. De plus cela permettrait à l'utilisateur d'avoir le choix entre Dropbox ou iCloud. À revoir sur ce point !

Pricing volatile notwithstanding statement to the contrary

Profleer on

Developer stated he would not lower price but did so within months. Not nice.

Enfin

Souvliro on

Il est arrivé et il est beau ! Tout ce dont j'ai besoin est là. Il reste à traduire en français, à éliminer quelques bugs en multitâches, mais il est très rapide même sur mon iPadAir première génération.

Scrivener while hiking

MehdiHusain on

I'm amazed. I can doodle with the real Scrivener while hiking. I'm a bicycle rider and I happen to have ideas while I'm on the road. Until now, I had a very difficult time transferring all my notes to Scrivener. Now, I can work directly in the real document anywhere, on my phone. The only caveat I have is Dropbox. Since iCloud is a mandatory feature of Apple products, I'd rather use that to free some space on my device. I'd like the app to sync automatically too and to keep track of the latest version of different notes if ever I happen to be offline while working, in the same way Notes does. But that's coming I presume.

The real Scrivener!

sidderke on

Het beste programma om creatief projecten mee uit te werken en te schrijven, is eindelijk uit voor iOS! 7MB groot, snel en betrouwbaar, en met enorm veel functionaliteit van zijn grote broer op de Mac. Grote aanrader! The best program to work out creative stuff and write longer projects has finally reached iOS! No more work-arounds! 7MB in size, quick and reliable, and with LOTS of functionality of its big brother on the Mac. Highly recommended! This is how Pro software should be!
