manuskript - Open-source tool for writers (Win/MacOS/Linux)

#1 Post by lintalist »

Tested only briefly, I don't see anything to suggest it isn't fully portable and doesn't add any data in %appdata% or my documents

manuskript - http://www.theologeek.ch/manuskript/
Downloads & Instructions https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript/releases

(Similar category to Celtx https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1349 - but manuskript is free and still being developed, while Celtx is now quite old and newer version are subscription based it seems)

Manuskript provides a rich environment to help writers create their first draft and then further refine and edit their masterpiece.
With Manuskript you can:
  • Grow your premise from one sentence, to a paragraph, to a full summary
  • Create characters
  • Conceive plots
  • Construct outlines (Outline mode and/or Index cards)
  • Write with focus (Distraction free mode)
  • Build worlds
  • Track items
  • Edit and re-organize chapters and scenes
  • View Story line
  • Compose with fiction or non-fiction templates and writing modes
  • Import and export document formats such as HTML, ePub, OpenDocument, DocX, and more
Additionally Manuskript can help in many more ways with a spell checker, markdown highlighter, frequency analyzer, and automatic save in open and plain text file format.

FYI, I was afraid Manuskript was yet another Elecron-based app but after checking I discovered it is in fact Qt-based...
