  • twinejs

    Twine, a tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories

  • Someone recommended Twine in a thread the other day. I haven't had a chance to look into it, but it might be useful.

  • WaveMaker-Novel-Writing-Software-Version-3

    Version 3 of the Wavemaker Novel Writing Software

  • Wavemaker is great! It’s free and the developer wants it to always remain free. You can put color coded cards into columns with what you want to be in each scene. You’re data is locally stored but you can also into google drive so you can easily download it on another device. Here’s some info https://wavemaker.co.uk

  • openoffice

    Apache OpenOffice

  • Mostly it's just in my head, but when I do find the need to map it out (and my main series is complicated enough that I definitely had to), I use OpenOffice [freeware] docs and spreadsheets (though I have to admit that the LibreOffice [freeware] fork does seem to be a better option). OO does have a 'phone app for Android and for iOS, and they seem to be free (I live on my computer instead of my 'phone, so I'm not 100% about 'phone stuff); LO does too, though I don't know if they're free. (There are other freeware options of the same sort, of course, easy to find by Google, but I haven't used them, so can't speak to their pros and cons.)

  • LibreOffice

    Read-only LibreOffice core repo - no pull request (use gerrit instead https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/) - don't download zip, use https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bundles/ instead (by LibreOffice)
