About this app

Download this easy-to-use text editor and write your story! Sign up for a free 14 day trial, then opt to subscribe for just $5 a month.

Whether you're writing the next Great American Novel or simply completing your first NaNoWriMo, Narrative helps you be more creative.

Narrative is also great for writing short stories, student essays, or poetry.

Designed for Android, PC, iPhone, iPad, Mac, or any web-browser. Your progress is saved on your device, and also to the cloud as you type. Narrative allows you to access your novel wherever you are, whatever device you have with you.

The standalone apps for PC and MacOS desktops are fully-featured, and sync with your Android phone and/or tablet, as well as iPhone and iPad.

All apps, (inc. the browser app), work both online and offline. When you come back online, the sync will save your work up to the cloud. No need to swap files between devices anymore. Live-sync sends your words to all your devices in real-time.

If you are already a writer, you can import your work-in-progress in docx, txt, or ePub formats.

The versions feature saves regular automated snapshots. This saves you from the nightmare of losing work accidentally.

Detailed stats help you track your progress, and a proofreader checks your grammar, spelling, and style in any of 12 languages.

While using the app, the user interface fades out, so you are free to concentrate on your words. You have formatting options, but they will not distract you from your work.

## Any platform, any device
Fully-featured desktop applications for Mac/Windows/Linux, an iOS app for iPhone and iPad, and a web-app that works in any modern browser

## Detailed statistics.

## Backup to Dropbox or Google Drive
Smart backup to Dropbox or Google Drive. Automatically exports a copy of your work to your own cloud account in docx format, after every writing session.

## Pricing
Narrative requires a subscription. Monthly and annual subscription plans are available. When you create an account you receive a fully functional 14-day trial, so you can test Narrative.

How do you like to write? Is it curled up on the sofa with your iPad, or at a proper desk on a PC or Mac? Some people even work on their novel using their Android or Apple mobile phone.
Narrative lets you do all this and more. Write ideas on your phone while you are out and about, continue on your laptop when you get home.

You don't have to worry about constantly pressing 'save'. Narrative automatically saves as you type.

The integrated proofreader will help you improve your writing. It highlights issues, and makes suggestions that you can either take on board or ignore as you see fit. After all, you are creating a whole world.. you can bend the rules anyway you want.

Writing a book is no small feat. We hope that Narrative will help you finish that book by making your writing as easily accessible as possible.

This app is basically unusable. On my S23 Ultra, it pretends that I am not clicking on letters on the onscreen keyboard. On my Tab S9, it doubles every letter typed. There are some serious server problems plaguing the user end and I would expect better at $45/year. Save your money.

Hi, firstly we would like to apologize for the bad experience you had with your Bluetooth/Samsung keyboard after a recent update. We think the issue is fixed in the latest release, but we'd love to hear if the issue has been resolved for you. Your payment has been refunded, but your account will remain active for the full year.

While I was writing it suddenly reseted and I thought it was just a glitch and it would come back eventually but it didn't it deleted my writing. But overall it's actually great I like the font and some other stuff in it
