🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. Manuskript is an open source tool for writers, and she ate. She gives you a rich environment to help writers create their first draft and then further refine and edit their masterpiece. 🎀

But bestie, listen, lowkey important part: though many features are already working as expected, Manuskript is still in development, and in need of extensive testing.

⚠️ If you consider using it for serious work, do frequent backup! Not me being dramatic — this is literally in the manual. BACK. UP. YOUR. STUFF. 💀

👑 FEATURES 👑

🌈 Writing modes

Manukskript offers two writing modes: one “fiction” mode with all the tools for fiction writers (summary, characters, plot, world/context, etc.), and one “simple” mode, with only the writing tab. pick your fighter, honestly.

🌈 Outliner

You can organize your thoughts and snippets in a hierarchical manner. Organize them as you wish, reorganize them on the go. it's giving chaos, but make it structured ✨

🌈 Customizable distraction-free mode

Get rid of all distraction while writing or lock yourself until you’ve reached a certain goal. main character energy, but the character is you, and the villain is your own notifications 🔥

🌈 Novel assistant

Use the snowflake method to grow your single genius idea in a coherent whole, with complex characters, intricate plots and detailed universe. from one (1) tiny thought to a whole universe, slay.

🌈 Open and plain-text file format

Depending on your configuration, everything is either stored zipped in one single file or as several small text files in one folder (to allow versioning and collaborative editing). yes, you can git your novel. obsessed. 💖

🌈 Index Cards

Use index cards to organise your thoughts: notes, scenes, chapters, etc. little cards, big brain. 🎀

🌈 Frequency Analyzer

The frequency analyzer helps you find out what words or sentences your using the most. so you can find out that you've said "suddenly" four hundred times. rip. 😭

🌈 Story line

Get an overview of your work through different strands, of which texts are nodes. As of now, only Plots are displayed, but in the near future you might use it to track anything: characters, object, place, or any other element of your work. As soon as you reference something in the notes / references field, it will appear in the story line. it's the ✨graph✨ bestie, we love a graph.
