Scrivener
Scrivener is a writing tool aimed at anyone working on a long document. It could be a novel, an essay, a pillar article, or a lengthy blog post. The main purpose of Scrivener is to help you organize your writing process, research and notes, and to “see the forest for the trees” as suits you at any given moment. It can fully replace your regular word processor. If you have massive amounts of information to organize, this is a great tool to help you do it.
Features
You will find Scrivener most useful if you’re working on long documents—especially multiple long documents simultaneously.
Novel-writers will probably glean the most value from Scrivener.
But if you’re working on essays or pillar posts—especially if they are part of a series—the organizing tools Scrivener offers should make it easy to visualize and manage your writing and edits.
Pros:
- -You will not have to waste time jumping around inside documents or back and forth between them in search of specific sections. Zooming in on the details or out to see the big picture is unbelievably easy.
- Break down long texts into small sections or edit the whole document–you have complete control.
- Integrated outlining and side-by-side document viewing make consistency checks a breeze.
- Track progress toward your writing goals, and accomplish them more quickly.
Cons:
- - You can use Scrivener on Windows, iOS or macOS—but seriously, why is there no Android app?
- This writing software isn’t exactly fast. In fact, sometimes it lags while you’re typing. Super annoying.
