JPI've been using Plottr for about a year… I've been using Plottr for about a year and a half now! I find it is very easy to use and its very useful for compiling information and plotting out a story. There are also many resources on hand to help guide you on how to plot a story, which has helped me to more easily lay down a plot I'm happy with. Definitely recommend!

NZPlottr 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!

GBI like Plottr I like Plottr, but I'm not certain I love it. Then again, I'm not certain I am using it most effectively. I run my chapters along the top grid and my key characters down the left. I write in Plottr then cut and paste it into Word. I would like a character tree of some kind that would allow me to easily view relationships between the characters, parents, kids, friends, bosses, co-workers, etc.

GBA 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.

GBA 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.
