Manuscript

Manuscript is a writing application that lets you outline, research, edit and export anywhere between a short story and an entire book – right on your iPhone!

Manuscript is not limited to writing stories – you can use it for note-taking, project management, storyboard, mind mapping and much more.

  • Create a manuscript from scratch or import from Google Docs (currently only Manuscript-formatted RTF is supported)
  • Outline your manuscript using multiple levels:
    • Pitch – One sentence tagline.
    • Synopsis – A more elaborate description of the plot or article, covering major developments.
    • Index cards – Serves as a repository for ideas, character development, reminders and more.
  • In addition to Pitch and Synopsis, each chapter can be outlined individually. You can create empty chapters, outline them, and then pour content into them in any order you like.
  • Use Wikipedia, dictionary and thesaurus from within the app.
  • Export your finished manuscript to Google Docs as an RTF file that can be read by both Mac and PC.

In Development:

  1. Currently, Google Docs does not support storing XML files, which means when you export a manuscript, only the text is exported, not the outline (pitch, synopsis, index cards and chapter outline). We are working on developing an alternative solution.
  2. Better import – so you can import any document, not just Manuscript formatted RTF files.
