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.

confusing and heavy handed

me;(5 on

unfortunately, compared to the computer version, the phone app doesn‘t really work for plotting or organizing. it‘s way to heavyhanded, complicated and not intuitive to use. it’s very confusing trying to organize anything. the cork board approach - moving notes around - doesn‘t work at all.

frustrating

XSEDRCFTVGZBMLP on

This app dontlet me choose where I want to sync my file so ofc it choose the wrong file plus it changes the font and it’s not possible change it again…. 20 bucks for that

IPad UX: not so good

P45C4L on

As a non desktop user, with the iPad as a primary app for Scrivener, the text layout ended up driving my mad. Especially the pinch to zoom feature. The sync was a nightmare, and ended up working by luck. I reverted to Apple Notes and Notion. Much more powerful for me use case.

iCloud drive support, please!

Esantirulop on

Please, add support for iCloud Drive as Dropbox has a limited number of clients in its free version. Superb app otherwise. Excellent when combined with its Desktop counterpart.👍🏻

Great app

Gatto0 on

EINFACH & PERFEKT

dampfkatze7 on

Preis Leistung unschlagbar. Wahrscheinlich die Beste App für iPhone iPad und Mac.

Unglaublich intuitiv und angenehm - macht wirklich Lust einfach loszuschreiben

LordoftheMatrix on

Die Bedienung ist intuitiv und sofort verständlich. Die Struktur und Flexibilität ermöglicht eine interative, wie auch ein strukturierte Herangehensweise... Einfach super - eine direkte Unterstützung von Kindle- und anderen e-Paper- Formaten wäre eine schöne Ergänzung.

excellence d’un produit intelligent

I was a bit concerned whether i could really write my paper on the phone ( 5s) and leave my computer at home. This app is Scrivener quality. Text size can be set. Navigating the text files is so well adapted to the phone. dropbox sync works flawlessly and any conflicts (if working on computer in between) are resolved internally and fast and transparent. Best writing app, thank you!
