Description. Featured in App Store Best of 2016. “The biggest software advance for writers since the word processor.” —Michael Marshall Smith, bestselling author Typewriter. 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.

Review

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. What's New in Version 1.1.5.

Fixed serious bug in Dropbox sync that was causing crashes for many users. Web page import now checks to avoid hangs caused by invalid URLs. On iOS 11, long-pressing a document link now opens it. Added support for.heic and.heif image files, the format now used by the iOS camera on 11.2 and above. Fixed bug whereby compiling to plain text with both “Titles Use Markdown Levels” and “Convert to Basic Markdown” checked would cause hashes in Markdown headings to be escaped.

By Indarien Either I’m lucky or other people are doing it wrong, since the Dropbox Sync works amazingly well across my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. In addition to the cross platform sync, Scrivener is just downright amazing for any sort of writing you need to do, in any format. The templates are great for focusing your thoughts and giving you an outline without forcing you to conform to a particular approach. Flexible strength is the design strategy, and whether you are writing for classes, professional fiction, professional non-fiction, as a hobby, or all of the above (like me) this is your Go-To app. By portalkeeper I have loved Scrivener for a long time, but the move to iOS does not bring with it the kind of file management iOS users need and expect. IOS 11’s document providers and Files app finally allow us to manage our documents the way they make sense, even if apps used their siloed iCloud Drive buckets, and that’s what every other writing app does. Scrivener needs to follow suit.

It’s not okay to rely on a third-party syncing service, and it’s even less okay not to provide the OS-level options for document management. I realize sync is hard, but if a console-quality 3D racing game can do it with iCloud Drive, I bet Scrivener can, too. By Michael W. Perry What can I say? Scrivener 2 was utlitarian, a powerful tool that made writing far more efficient than Microsoft Word. This version is all that and so utterly beautiful.

It makes writing a joy. The UI is brilliant and the new features make what was already a great product even better. The developer, a writer himself, is a genius at product design.

If you write for any purpose from short blog posts to novels and research tomes, get Scrivener. It easily adapts to your writing style, making your writing more enjoyable and productive.

Plenty of writing tools exist, but few are specifically designed for writers. Even fewer are developed by a writer, but Scrivener is a rare exception, designed by Keith Blount to plug a perceived gap in the market. Rather than joining Pages and Word in the headlong rush towards desktop-publishing-style layouts within word processors, it instead arms you with powerful tools that prove hugely beneficial for dealing with complex and lengthy writing projects. Although you can use Scrivener to bash out reams of copy in a linear fashion, doing so misses the point.

The application is also good for cobbling together articles, scripts and essays. Built-in templates get you started with various kinds of projects, each providing a structural overview in the Binder sidebar; here, you can add further folders and text files, rearranging them by drag-and-drop.

When you're done, your masterpiece can be exported in various formats, using Scrivener's initially baffling but nonetheless powerful Compile sheet. With the writer in mind At this point, Scrivener probably sounds like a user-friendly outline view in Pages or Word, but its other features take it far beyond those products when it comes to project management. You can dump all manner of research into the Binder, including images, text files and web pages. Furthermore, the folders within can have context-sensitive icons applied (characters, locations and so on).

Scrivener's views are also well-suited to the process of writing – you can pick between composite, outline, corkboard or Page views. The last of those is new, and is particularly useful for scriptwriters. Outline and corkboard have been upgraded; the former now boasts sortable columns, which offer more than a dozen titles (such as Progress and Status) and the corkboard – a digital index board for sub-document synopses and other notes – now provides a free-form mode. This alone will justify Scrivener's $25 (£17) upgrade fee for many, since it provides a wonderfully tactile way to rearrange a project's documents. Also a new Collections feature in the Binder provides further scope for experimenting with alternate structures, without affecting your main project. The more you explore Scrivener 2.0, the more you find. Often, you'll think 'I wish there was a writing app that could do' and you'll find Scrivener does it: snapshots with revision comparison; automated backups and sync with mobile apps such as Dropbox; a full-screen mode; quick reference panels (think Quick Look, but with editable content); splitpane viewing; user-definable count targets.

It's all there, and, amazingly, it's generally pretty easy to access and use, along with being really robust and stable. Essential app As with the original Scrivener, the latest version is perhaps an acquired taste – more so with the new features adding another layer of complexity. But then this app has never been about appealing to the masses – if you're looking to bang out a letter, stick with Pages; but if you want the best tool around for organising thoughts and writing projects, Scrivener is a no-brainer purchase.
