Scrivener reviews & product details
Visit websiteScrivener is a writing application for authors, academics, screenwriters, and other people working on substantial manuscripts. Instead of treating a book or thesis as one long file, it lets you develop the work in smaller sections and rearrange them as the structure becomes clearer.
The binder organizes drafts and supporting material in one project. Corkboard cards and an outliner provide different ways to plan chapters, while split views keep research beside the text you are writing.
