A Zero Friction UI I had been using Apple's Numbers to plot my novels. Numbers is a great general purpose number-crunching tool. But it's not designed specifically to build plots. I tried Plottr, and about ten minutes into my evaluation, I bought it. I liked how it supports multiple plotting frameworks (my favorite is the Seven Point Plot Structure), but even without those, I would still have purchased it. Its interface was designed to lay out a plot the way a writer thinks about it. The UI offered zero friction with creative thinking. Instead of spending mental energy fighting a general purpose tool, I could focus on coming up with plots to entertain readers. The only drawback? I can't blame the tool if I don't deliver! It's all on me, because Plottr is everything it needs to be, and nothing it doesn't need to be.

I love this software I love this software - you can track and check the intricacies of your plot and make sure everything is lining up. Super easy to use.

Never start with a blank page again Plottr is not just a phenomenal tool for ensuring you hit every beat in your story, developing a well-structured, perfectly satisfying story. But it also ensures you never start with a blank page. Whether you're actually a plotter or if you're a pantser, you can use these outlines to kickstart your creative juices, using the beat descriptions as the start to your writing session. I love this tool and can no longer live(write) without it.

A Must In My Workflow Plottr is an essential tool in my writing toolbox. I use it writing my novels and with my serialized fiction stories for Kindle Vella. The timeline allows me to view events within my story at a moment's notice. I use the Notes section to help me keep track of story questions I may have later, things to watch for when rewriting, etc. The characters and places sections are especially helpful for keeping a story bible. Pair it with AI imaging from sites like MidJourney, Dall-e 3, etc, and I can see my worlds brought to life. What I truly love is the personalization options available to users. I doubt any two people use Plottr the same. I have my own color-coding system to go along with my tags. This allows me to not only organize my stories as I want to see them but also to filter easily. I have used Plottr since 2020 and haven't regretted spending a single penny on it. It's one of the few monetary investments I've made in writing that I can say that about.

You got to have this tool! I've been utilizing Plottr since nearly its inception, back in its early days, and it's proven to be an indispensable asset for my writing endeavors. Plottr boasts an extensive array of features, many of which I've yet to fully explore, and the team continually enriches it with new additions. Despite struggling to keep pace, I'm thoroughly enamored with it. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned writer, Plottr is a must-have tool in your arsenal. I wholeheartedly endorse it.
