Organise your book into chapters and scenes:
To get an overview, you can organise your book introduction into small blocks. They're called chapters and they contain several scenes. Scribble your ideas on the built-in corkboard and move them around as you like. Add summaries to the cards on your Corkboard and get a rough outline of your story. The corkboard automatically syncs with your story outline so everything is always up to date.

- Dynamic story corkboard with cards
- Drag and drop to move them around
- Add new scenes and chapters on the fly
- Write chapter summaries for a quick overview

Integrated rich text editor with spell checking
Write on the fly with the powerful built-in rich text editor. Easily format your content with bold, italic or indented text to add style to your story. Use this editor for your scenes, character descriptions and locations.

- Rich text editor with many styles for your content
- Built-in linking for characters and locations
- Spell check and basic grammar check
- Full screen mode

Dynamic linking of characters and locations:
When you create a new character or location, you can use the rich text editor to dynamically add it to your text. This creates a link to the character and if you later rename it, it will automatically update in all your texts. So don't worry about renaming everything manually and take the time to write the next chapter of your book.

- Create characters and locations
- Link them to your texts and they'll be updated automatically when things change.

Export your book:
When you're ready, or if you want to share a sneak preview, you can use the built-in book export. This will export all your chapters with the scenes to your favourite word processor such as MS Word or LibreOffice Writer. You can use this for sharing or even as a backup for yourself.

Synchronise across devices:
With your free MyStory.today account, you can access your work on any device with internet access. On your smartphone on the go, on your tablet or even on your laptop or desktop PC. It's all done automatically - there's no need to export anything manually.

When you're ready to write, download the free app today and start writing your book.

Love the App

I have been using the app for 10 days now, i am not a writer, however, i found it useful in the layout and they way you can make characters and places, the different scenes, etc. i have written 25,000 words in this time and all was going really well, until a few days ago every time it synchronised and i was typing, all the writing would disappear, i would have to click or hit the space bar for it to come back, after that every time i type the writing would flash on and off, its somewhat distracting, however, i have not lost anything, i have used a few apps and so far this has been the best one. If you can stop the glitches it will earn 5 stars.

Great app

This app works really well and is very easy to navigate. I like the sections where you can write about your characters and the places, it’s really useful, if I come up with something new for a character of mine I can write it straight there. I also like the little cork board section where you can right ideas and drafts for each chapter and/or scene.

Only problem is if I’ve been writing a scene for a chapter then try to click somewhere else (like the character section or a different chapter) it will highlight the entire section I have just written, it never used to do this so it’s probably just a bug. But it can be really annoying.

Other than that, it’s a great app and I would definitely recommend it.

Great free writing app on the market

So far so good. It reminds me of the reedsy editor website online, but for me it’s much better being an app rather than on the web browser. Anyway I love the fact that I can organise all of my scenes in separate sections to make it easy for me to navigate through what I’ve already written. The only thing I find slightly annoying is if I try and add something to what I’ve already written it deletes everything out of that box. So to make that easier for me I’m using word to write up the scenes and then adding them into the app. Other than that the app is perfect for anyone looking to organise their entire book and writing process. I can’t recommend it enough. Solid 9.5/10.
