Storyist is a word processor designed for Mac that might prove to be of good use to people who write manuscripts and screenplays. The program is packed with a wide variety of useful features, comes with a comprehensive help manual, and provides you with a user-friendly interface.
You have access to multiple text options (both text style and page arrangement), a simple way to structure your work per chapters, and 3 view modes for the main screen where you write your manuscript. Furthermore, the program enables you to import various types of files, insert bookmarks or images into your work, and save the current project as a template for later.
Another important advantage is the fact that you can export your manuscript or screenplay to various file formats. The quality is preserved and the tool takes a small amount of time to offer you the results you need.
The only thing you need to consider is that you can find cheaper word processors for your Mac. However, there's a small chance that they are as feature-rich as Storyist.
Hence, Storyist proves to be a reliable solution for creating quality manuscripts and screenplays on your Mac. It's definitely worth a try if you're looking for an efficient and feature-rich word processor.
v2.4 [Aug 4, 2012]
- The Duplicate command is now available in the Project view menus.
- Saves are now faster in certain circumstances. Previously, if you used the session goal timer and left it running between editing session, saves could take longer than expected.
- The Command+Control+D shortcut now looks up the correct word (that is, the one under the mouse). Previously, moving the cursor over a word and pressing Command+Control+D would cause a word other than the one under the mouse to be chosen.
- A line spacing of "Multiple" is again handled correctly, fixing a bug introduced in 2.4.1.
- Storyist no longer crashes after emptying the project trash if the trash contains an item that was recently displayed in outline mode.
