About this app

This is the latest version (Version 3) of the Wavemaker Novel Planning and Writing Software.

Quick FYI : If you're on a chromebook DON'T USE THIS APP - just visit https://wavemaker.cards and install from there. Its exactly the same but runs natively


I have added some great new features in, and rebuilt from the ground up so that it's mobile friendly as well.
It works as a Progressive Web App, so it can install locally to virtually any device (ChromeOS, Desktop, Windows, Linux, Android, iOs Mac- currently requires a setting to be enabled in chrome)

This extension simply works as a link to open the app quickly from your browser after you have installed it.

Works from local database with the ability to backup your database and import it to another device (or synch up to your google drive)

*New features*
No Login Required! (You will have to authorise your google drive account if you want it to sync)
Multi-level breaking down of chapters into scenes (and beyond)
Research database, keep notes, upload images and link entries with hashtags!
Exports to HTML, Markdown (RTF and eBook formats coming as well);
Planning Grid Tool added. (Based on the JKRowling example)

Finally a cross platform alternative to Scrivener!
Write your story, novel or book using the writing tools in wavemaker. Book Writing whether factual or fiction writing is possible using the easy to manage project manager tool for writing your book. Works with built in browser / systems spell checkers and tools like Grammarly

You can export to markdown or html for those of you writing a serialised novel for the web or a blog.

Deserves more attention. This writing app is fantastic on both desktop and mobile. Please consider donating to the app developer if you download this app and decide you like it, it's worth it. The sync options are incredibly helpful, and it manages to be a robust tool without feeling too cluttered. This is an amazing alternative solution to programs like Scrivener, I went ahead and installed it on my tablet as well. Ad-free, spam-free, and customizable enough.

Free & easy to use! I look forward to writng because this software makes it fun. I have it on my phone & laptop. It took a few times to understand how to upload & download between devices. I wish the developers would add a dictionary/ thesaurus icon on the writing page. I definitely recommend this free writing software.

While I was confused when I tried to open the app and got a toast instead saying to 'download chrome 72' or something, I figured out the 'issue' after looking at the 'reviews' and the app description. I just went directly to your site and pressed the offline-app prompt to create a shortcut, and it worked fine from there (maybe people could try doing this instead of spamming the app with 1 star reviews for something that isn't even a critique of the app itself). So far, I like using it!
