Scrivener 3 at Mac App Store analyse

Typewriter. Corkboard. Scrapbook. Scrivener combines all the writing tools you need to craft your first draft, from nascent notion to final full stop.

“The biggest software advance for writers since the word processor.”
- Best-selling novelist Michael Marshall Smith

GROW YOUR MANUSCRIPT YOUR WAY
Tailor-made for creating long manuscripts, Scrivener lets you break up your writing into sections as small or large as you like. At its heart is a simple ring-binder metaphor—gather material and switch between writing, notes and research with ease. Got a great idea but don’t know where it fits? Compose your text in any order you want—write when inspiration strikes and find its place later.

SEE THE FOREST *OR* THE TREES
Whether you plan or plunge, Scrivener works your way: hammer out every last detail before typing a word, or carve out a draft and restructure later. Or do a bit of both. All text sections in Scrivener are integrated with an easy-to-use project outline, so working with an overview of your manuscript is only ever a click away, and turning Chapter Four into Chapter One is as simple as drag and drop.

RESEARCH WITHIN REACH
Need to refer to research? In Scrivener, your background material is always at hand, and you can open it right alongside what you’re working on. Write a description based on a photograph. Transcribe an interview. Or check for consistency against an earlier chapter.

GETTING IT OUT THERE
Once you’re ready to share your work with the world, turn your manuscript into a beautiful ebook or PDF, export to Word, or simply print it out. You can even share using different formatting, so that you can write in your favorite font and still keep your editor happy.

Scrivener’s users include best-selling novelists, screenwriters, students, academics, lawyers, journalists and translators. It won’t tell you how to write—it just provides everything you need to start writing and keep writing.

Latest version Scrivener 3: 3.3.3

Scrivener 3.3.3 is an update to 3.3.2 that addresses the following issues:

• Fixed bug on Sonoma whereby if the ruler was shown in dark mode, the editor would appear blank.
• Fixed crash on M1 machines running Big Sur.
• Fixed bug with non-English UI files not being updated for 3.3.2.
• Fixed some issues with the size of the new text cursor on Sonoma.
• Removed nonfunctional options from the PDF view contextual menu and ensured that pop-up notes in PDF documents appear as read-only.

Scrivener 3.3.2 release notes:

READY FOR MACOS 14 SONOMA
• Updated for macOS 14 Sonoma.
• On macOS 14, Scrivener uses Apple’s new system-wide, iOS-like text cursor. Because there is no way of making the new cursor wider, the options in Scrivener’s “Editing” settings to change the width of the cursor have been removed on Sonoma.

CHANGES
• Because the version of the MultiMarkdown converter built into Scrivener only supports macOS 10.14 onwards, MultiMarkdown formats that require the converter are no longer available on macOS 10.13 unless an external version of MultiMarkdown is installed.
• To avoid inconsistencies in the UI, styles shortcuts are no longer remapped for international keyboards, but always use keys 1-9.

BUG FIXES
• Numerous bug fixes related to Word document import and export.
• Fixed bug with importing styles from other projects.
• Miscellaneous other minor bug fixes and enhancements.
