Organise your book into chapters and scenes:
To get an overview, you can organise your book introduction into small blocks. They're called chapters and they contain several scenes. Scribble your ideas on the built-in corkboard and move them around as you like. Add summaries to the cards on your Corkboard and get a rough outline of your story. The corkboard automatically syncs with your story outline so everything is always up to date.

- Drag and drop to move them around
- Add new scenes and chapters on the fly
- Write chapter summaries for a quick overview

Integrated rich text editor with spell checking
Write on the fly with the powerful built-in rich text editor. Easily format your content with bold, italic or indented text to add style to your story. Use this editor for your scenes, character descriptions and locations.

- Rich text editor with many styles for your content
- Built-in linking for characters and locations
- Spell check and basic grammar check
- Full screen mode

Dynamic linking of characters and locations:
When you create a new character or location, you can use the rich text editor to dynamically add it to your text. This creates a link to the character and if you later rename it, it will automatically update in all your texts. So don't worry about renaming everything manually and take the time to write the next chapter of your book.

- Create characters and locations
- Link them to your texts and they'll be updated automatically when things change.

Export your book:
When you're ready, or if you want to share a sneak preview, you can use the built-in book export. This will export all your chapters with the scenes to your favourite word processor such as MS Word or LibreOffice Writer. You can use this for sharing or even as a backup for yourself.

Synchronise across devices:
With your free MyStory.today account, you can access your work on any device with internet access. On your smartphone on the go, on your tablet or even on your laptop or desktop PC. It's all done automatically - there's no need to export anything manually.

When you're ready to write, download the free app today and start writing your book.

Had to find a new app after one I've been using for 11 years slammed half their features behind a paywall. I needed something to sync and easily write from multiple devices, I wish I had found MyStory sooner! Easy organization, easy to customize to my preferences, tons in the free version, and syncs quickly. Love that it saves previous versions in case I accidentally don't refresh when bringing up a diff device, and I don't lose work anymore. Amazing! I'll be getting a sub to support the devs!

There doesn't seem to be a way to format the text the way I like. I like to see the formatting within the text editor. The indents the fo t the curly brackets everything. At first I was excited to see ios, Android and windows covered but everything pasted in lost it's formatting, including the much needed italics. You need an import function too with special characters to denote chapters and scenes. Say # for chapters and @ for scenes. I'm looking for an alternative to scrivener.

Absolutely love this app for story writing. I think it would be even more amazing if there was more formatting options for the fonts and such but overall the best book writing I have come across. And that's saying something because I like to download every one I come across in the app store then try them all and pick my favorite.
