Easy to use and everything you need is there! I have been highly impressed with Plottr. It is simple to use, and it has a great timeline feature that allows you to either access the built in story templates or create your own. The timeline template is easy to manipulate- notes and sections can be added, or moved around. This great layout means that you can also create and align your character arcs with your story arc, which definitely makes the whole plotting process much clearer. I have also enjoyed the character and settings section of the software which allows the information to be readily accessible and include images sourced from the internet. I would definitely recommend this plotting software to writers who want an easy to use and visually satisfying planning tool that allows them to deal with every aspect of the story planning process.

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.

No regrets in this investment! Plottr has made all the difference in my writing. It's helped me cross from discovery writer to plotter seamlessly and in a fun way. They're always improving the product and customer service is the best. It's an investment where the benefits far exceed the cost.

Great for non-plotters I hate to plot and tend toward being a pantser. This gives me a plan and I love being able to keep track of time, places, etc via tags. I only gave it 4 stars because is a bit pricey for an unpublished author.

Excellent story planner On top of Plotter having all the features I need and want for outlining my plot and keeping track of world building notes, the support team is always quick to answer any questions I've had about the application on various operating systems or about my account. The timeline function is incredibly useful, being able to visualize my plot points and rearrange them is fantastic! I've found it useful for planning any kind of story from short stories to custom RPG campaigns.
