Features & Capabilities

Story Planner helps writers outline and organize projects—from novels to screenplays, essays, and RPG campaigns. Create custom projects, add sections (characters, plots, scenes, objects, worldbuilding, notes), attach images, customize fields, and tag or archive as needed. Keep notes in one place and switch between parts easily with drag-and-drop and flexible organization.

Bring stories to life with linked story elements, deep character profiles, locations with references, color-coded plots, and scene-by-scene planning. Stay in control with Revision Mode, progress goals, and detailed stats, plus iOS/macOS widgets, distraction-free modes, and a privacy-first model that keeps data on device or synced via iCloud. Export to Word, Scrivener, Final Draft, Ulysses, and more; one lifetime purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

User Reviews

Story Planner is praised for its clean UI and powerful planning toolkit, including tagging, image attachments, and cross-device syncing, with a favorable one-time price. Recurrent concerns center on data integrity: syncing problems and data loss across devices, plus occasional lag. Several reviews note it isn’t ideal for long-form prose and that cross-project item copying is limited. Overall it’s a strong planning app that shines when its syncing and stability issues are manageable.
Pros
  • Clear interface and ease of use
  • One-time purchase with no subscriptions and deep toolbox for the price
  • Comprehensive planning features (characters, locations, plots, scenes, timelines) with customization
  • Strong organization with tagging system and the ability to attach images and reference material
  • Sync across devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) and good export/attachment options; aesthetically pleasing design
Cons
  • Syncing across devices can cause data loss or project deletion; reliability concerns
  • Updates can erase or reset existing work
  • Lag and performance issues (scrolling, tapping, typing delays)
  • Not ideal for actual writing; canvas is planning-focused
  • Difficulty copying/moving items across projects (e.g., transferring characters/locations between projects)

I LOVE THIS APP! As an unapologetic pantser, this app helps me organize my deeply layered chaos. The honeymoon period is not over, but I have not walked away unhappy or frustrated. I feel empowered and in control, not overwhelmed and mentally exhausted. When it comes to those fancy apps, I use 10% of them, never making it worth the cost. Story Planner is fun, user-friendly, and helps me to be as thorough as I want to be without getting in the way of the creative process!

I’ve been using this app to write my three stories and it is THE must have writing app on the platform. I’ve tried other writing apps and they are either limited or require payments. Only problem I’ve had is that I can no longer sync progress I’ve made using my phone to my Mac, even though it synced before.
