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.

To nie jest Scrivener

ApfelZinenSchmeck on

Poland

Trzy gwiazdki za możliwość dodawania plików i wprowadzenia podstawowych zmian do projektu. Ale bardziej zaawansowane funkcje są niedostępne, nawet niektóre podstawowe – np. nie działa Srivenings Mode, co dla mnie jest podstawową funkcją programu. Nie można podejrzewać draftu w całości, co jest fatalne. Poza tym występuje duży problem z synchronizacją notatek z trybu Inspektor. Ogólnie – nie ma rewelacji, a na przesłane pytania developer nie odpowiada. Odradzam zakup, chyba że ktoś bardzo potrzebuje. Ale ze świadomością, że desktopowa wersja jest o niebo lepsza.

Najlepszy program pisarski pod słońcem

gregvip on

Poland

Scrivener jest bez wątpienia najlepszym narzędziem pisarskim jakie zostało stworzone. Być może inne programy są lepszymi edytorami tekstu, zapewne tak. Jednakże jeśli popatrzymy na program jako narzędzie dla ludzi piszących coś więcej niż podanie to Scrivener bije cała konkurencję na głowę (co jest o tyle proste, że tej konkurencji nie ma). Wynika to z innowacyjnego podejścia do tworzonego tekstu, jego organizacji oraz organizowania go w bloki (części) którymi można w banalny sposób zarządzać. Jednego czego mi brakuje w wersji na iOS to migawki, one tego strasznie mi brak.

Best writing tool on iOS

I was waiting for it and it is as good as I hoped. It is definitely the best writing tool I have used on iOS.

Syncing DOES work but…

kittycat0283 on

United States

I was worried reading all the issues everyone had with Syncing, and they’re all genuine concerns (I had some of the issues myself and had to look up a tutorial on how to properly Sync from Dropbox) 1. You need a Dropbox account. It’s free to use, don’t worry about the subscription offer. When you open the Scrivener app, it’ll have an option to link your drop box account. This will create an “Apps” folder that creates a “Scrivener” folder holding the essential files for Scrivener. In this “Scrivener” folder, upload your project’s folder from desktop. 2. When Syncing, you cannot have both programs open at once. For mobile changes syncing to desktop: make sure the desktop application is closed. When you make a change to mobile, sync and close the app. Wait a minute or two for everything to sync to Dropbox, and open the desktop version. Everything should now be synced, and this works the same vice versa from desktop to mobile. I am used to the real-time syncing of Google Docs, so this may be tedious if this is what you’re familiar with too, but as someone whose main projects are on Scrivener, this is a useful app to access and work on my projects from mobile to desktop.

Authoring Workstation

The best writing application I’ve used so far. A powerhouse from concept to compilation.

Useless for screenwriting

Atlantis vs Acid on

United States

Getting into screenwriting mode is a scavenger hunt. When you finally it, it doesn’t format the margins properly and there are no page breaks.

Doesn’t sync with iCloud

jamelna on

United States

This app does not sync with icloud. Please make that more obvious in the description. I was apprehensive about purchasing this but thought that in 2024 there’s no way that two purchased versions of the same product (MacOS and iPadOS) would not be able to communicate easily with each other and sync. But nope. This app is now useless to me and I’m out 25 bucks.

The productiveness and accessibility of Scrivener

The Entertainment’s here on

United States

For everything I needed Scrivener for, it succeeded and then some. I mainly use this app for script writing and world planning, so the folders are an incredible lifesaver. As for the script writing feature, it is immaculate, takes a minute to get used to thought (coming from someone who only ever used word 2007). It’s tutorials are entertaining and easy as well. Overall, it is a great app to use for writing of any kind.

Please Include HTML Formatting…

JustANormalWriter on

United States

This would literally save my life right now. Everything is great, and I’ve really had no issues with the app. Without the option to convert my writing to HTML however, I’m completely unable to utilize its basic functions (bold, italics, underlines). I know this version of Scrivener is meant to be basic and limiting by nature, but adding at least the HTML feature would greatly help me and any others who require such a service, especially on IPads. Our options are very limited as is, so this feature would greatly benefit us.
