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.

Plottr is essential to stay organized Plottr is essential to stay organized. I am working on a long novel (or series maybe?), and there are so many places, characters, themes, and plot points to keep track of. Using Plottr has actually allowed me to develop my story in ways I didn't think it could go because it can hold everything for me as I try to fit the pieces together. I have created a database for every single element of my story and it's amazing!

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.

Story Structure and Templates I really like all the options for structuring a writing project in plottr. For a new writer, this is a really good tool so far. It is flexible enough to use my own structure (once I have one) but it is really great to be able to start with some idea of what a good novel should have in terms of flow and plot points. Not restrictive, but helpful.
