About this app

Writer's Companion is an app created by author Caleb A. Robinson to aid writers in planning their novels, organizing their content, and achieving their goals.

Projects:
Projects are at the center of the Writer's Companion App. Every goal you set, outline you create, and world-building item you add will be related to a Project to help you stay organized. The word "Project" can be replaced with "Novel", "Screenplay", or "Dungeons and Dragons Campaign"; it just depends on what you use the app for!

World-Building
The world-building tool can be used to organize information about the world in which your story takes place. Adding a world-building item will create a new category into which you can organize your ideas (for example "Characters" or "Kingdoms"). Once you have created a category, you can add individual items (for example "Percy Jackson" or "Gondor").

Goals
Goals help writers stay on target to achieve their dreams. Use this part of the app to create and edit goals and to view your progress. Goals are tied to your Projects so you can keep your progress organized. Goals don't have to be measured in word counts. You can use chapters, hours, pages, scenes edited—anything you can think of!

Planning
The planning tool allows you to create chapter outlines for your Project. Each Project can have one chapter outline. You can add world-building items to each chapter so you can keep track of which characters are present in the scene, where it takes place, or really anything you might need to track! You can easily view your writing progress by checking the box next to a chapter when it is complete.

Miscellaneous
There are a handful of other tools to use such as note taking, backing up your data, a Tip of the Day, user statistics, and more!

I used to love this app but the more I used it I recognized how much limitation I have. I understand they need to get money somehow but I'm starting to believe it's a little much. You can only have 4 story ideas before you have to pay and 10 categories to put notes in. I wouldn't really complain if it wasn't a subscription or if I can at least get a 1 month free trial to see if it's worth buying a subscription.

Pretty good, my only request would be to have crosslinking between worldbuilding items. So like for example I have a character who founded a movement after experiences with an alien civilization. Currently the character, the movement, the alien civilization, their solar system and their planet all have their own worldbuilding items in different categories. With crosslinking it would be easier to follow the trail through all these different items and think about the bigger picture.

I love this app! Very useful, but I have a few suggestions that I think would be super helpful. 1. The ability to select an icon as a profile picture for a character/etc. under builds. 2. Having an option to manually sort the custom description entries of the character/etc. and builds instead of it just being alphabetical. 3. Instead of selecting a project in each build, have an option to separate/sort them by project, like a folder. Thanks!
