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.

Useful app with bonus A very useful program to structure your book or novel etc. Furthermore a friendly customer service and active, helpful community for users. In addition also workshops, summits and seminars on plotting and writing in general. A highly recommended app for authors of any kind.

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 I only gave it 4 stars because is a bit pricey for an unpublished author.

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.
