Turn ideas into stories - characters, places, sociograms and more
FiveActs comes with innovative features and powerful tools to help you gather ideas and compose an initial draft. Use FiveActs' Idea Cards to turn scattered ideas into a storyline. Arrange your Idea Cards loosely or around a timeline – managing your ideas and writing stories has never been easier! FiveActs offers useful tools to help you keep track of everything – Characters, Places, Ideas, Notes and even Sociograms to track your character's relationships.

Compatibility and export
Once your script is finished, you'll likely want to share it. FiveActs supports all common standards, allowing you to print and import/export your script from or into other applications. FiveActs is fully compatible with Fountain documents and also lets you import and export FinalDraft documents. The revision management feature lets you track changes in your screenplay, so if you add changes once you've shared your script with the actors, you'll only have to re-print those pages containing changes.

Not just for screenwriting

Although this is aimed at screenwriters, it can also be used for writing novels. Less bells and whistles than Scrivener, which can be a positive. The less there is to fiddle with, the more focused you can be. I like the way you can create and attach characters, locations and props to chapters or sections, building up a picture of who is doing what and where. The app uses these connections to produce reports that can show you the bigger picture in an easily digestible way. Your novel will never get out of hand or become confusing. On top of all this, there are sections where you create mind maps to show how characters relate to each other or index cards for plotting. Cards can also be attached to the chapter or sections in your main document which is very handy. I only stumbled upon this app because I'm a fan of the company's Logoist app, and was surprised by the lack of reviews. It feels like a little secret gem in the app store that nobody has noticed. I hope that changes and the app keeps getting developed. And best of all? No subscription! It's a one off payment. Overall, a great app that is well worth your money.
