I have found this great tool that is not just an ordinary word processor but also has a project management tool. It is called Scrivener developed by Literature & Latte Ltd. (which is not a software company though). Shocked? Yes, it is not a software company but developed by an individual named Keith Blount (please refer to his LinkedIn account). And a really private person as he claim in his website.
Scrivener is a word processor and project management tool created specifically for writers of long texts such as novels and research papers. It won’t try to tell you how to write - it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application.
Here are some of its key features:
- Edit Multiple Documents
Create limitless documents in the same project and edit them separately or merge them dynamically and edit them as a whole.
- Corkboard
Virtual index cards store a synopsis for every document you create. Storyboard and rearrange your project by moving them around on the corkboard.
- Outlining
A fully-featured outliner helps you take control of the structure of your work.
- Keywords
Use a powerful keywords system to keep track of characters, themes or ideas.
- Full Screen Editing
View your text in full screen for distraction-free composition.
- Export
Export your finished draft to your favorite word processor for final formatting, including support for footnotes, annotations and images.
