How it works
The app keeps research alongside your writing: images, PDFs, web pages, and notes live in the same project, so you never lose a source. Outlining, labelling, and a powerful compile feature turn your draft into a manuscript in Word, PDF, ePub, or print-ready formats.
Scrivener costs $59.99 as a one-time purchase, with a free trial. It is the standard choice for novelists, academics, and screenwriters who manage large, complex writing projects.
