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.

# Features

## Focus mode
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.

## Proofreader
An integrated proofreader checks grammar, spelling, and style issues, in several languages and dialects. The proofreader checks as you type, and you can toggle the display of hints/suggestions on or off, at the touch of a button.

## 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.
Get motivated, with detailed stats and charts on your writing progress. See which days and hours you’re most productive.

## Import/Export
Import or export your novel. You can share with friends, or prepare for publishing. Export options include ePub, docx, or plain text.

## 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. Using the trial, or a subscription, gives you full access to the app on all platforms, on as many devices as you wish.

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 really nice, the best part of it is when your writings don't delete even when you go off the app to another app or maybe the next day
