pensiv: Writing app for novels

Raum Labs Inc.

About this app

“Even when your story gets complex, writing should not fall apart.”

Write freely, organize anytime, and expand your story without losing structure.

pensiv is built for long-form storytelling. You don’t need to write in order—capture ideas as they come, write scenes first, and arrange them later. As your plot evolves, characters grow, and timelines become more complex, pensiv keeps everything connected in one coherent system.

Whether you outline everything or discover the story as you go, pensiv adapts to your process. Because your manuscript and structure live together, you can move, rewrite, and expand your story without losing the overall flow.

Bring your writing out of scattered documents, notes, and folders into one unified workspace. pensiv is designed for writers working with complex narratives.

Ratings and reviews

this has to be one of the best apps I've ever used I've been looking for a app like this for years move to iPhone just to use scrivener but I'm Android user at heart I was so shocked at finding this app that I researched on when it came out which was last month in June the 22nd whoever made this app complete five stars you did phenomenal job and I pray that you keep up with the updates and keeping this out running for years cause I'm a big fan

Edit: Five stars. My most favorite writing app ever! Writing became an organized enjoyment for me because of this app! There are many features here that I really enjoyed, and the to-do list being my most liked function because, god, I really need those reminders. The devs are really nice too! Toggling the vibration was in the system > haptic feedback, which I gen didn't know at first... Well, I'm sold on this app! I'm looking forward to more updates!!

Just downloaded it, and it's pretty perfect. It has tons of things that I needed, and a bunch I didn't even know I did.
