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.

Plottr helped streamline outlining I bought Plottr slightly over a year ago because I wanted to outline a novel in a way that would be easy to edit, but the available tools didn't seem helpful- Google Sheets seemed like it'd be clumsy while copy & pasting, plus visually distinguishing cells could be mentally cumbersome. I was averse to index cards for a number of reasons (my legibility is poor, space reasons, keeping track of them all, didn't want to write and re-erase everything, etc.). So I bought Plottr- and to be honest, I'm quite pleased with it. Over the next few months, I found I was able to reorganize my outline relatively easily as I started coming up with events. I don't remember when I got the major plot points into a satisfactory state as it was a gradual process, but I'm in a state right now where I can start writing up parts of my story, save as scenes and then click and drag in Plottr as needed to rearrange.

Plottr meets all my needs! I've been using Plottr since 2020. I use it to plot both short stories and novels (and a screenplay). It absolutely works for me! I've tried everything in the past, both digital and physical -- index cards, MS Excel, you name it. Plottr is intuitive to use, flexible, customizable. It meets all my needs! Happy writing!

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.

Plottr Rocks Plottr has helped me to think about and focus on the basics and the details in storytelling. Plot lines, character arcs, keeping track of character names, etc. Especially helpful in writing series. Characters can be created once in Plottr but added to multiple books. The notes section allows me to fill in back story. I'm still a newbie at writing and Plottr, but Plottr rocks.
