2021. Scrivener 3 for Windows gets simple and beautiful interface
The latest version of Scrivener 3 is now available on Windows, bringing with it a variety of new and improved features. The update includes a modernized and simplified interface, a redesigned and more flexible Compile feature and a full styles system in the text system. Other enhancements include the ability to view index cards on colored threads, improved ebook export and the addition of Writing History to track daily writing progress. Custom Metadata has also been improved, allowing for checkboxes, dates and list boxes to be added to the Inspector and outliner. Additional features include enhanced outlining, a new Quick Search tool, progress bars and a Dark Mode, among others. The Bookmarks feature also replaces Project Notes, References and Favorites, making it easier to access frequently used documents. Furthermore, the Dialogue Focus feature allows users to easily locate all dialogue within their text.
2019. Scrivener for iOS adds support for many more screen types
The latest version of Scrivener for iOS, version 1.2, is now available to download from the App Store and offers support for iOS 13, improved compatibility with a wider range of screen types and seamless integration with iOS 13's dark mode. Alongside these enhancements, existing features of the app include the ability to write and organize your manuscript in sections of any size, view all sections as a single text, navigate sections quickly using the binder sidebar, format with fonts and presets and use comments, footnotes, links, highlights, simple bullets and lists. Additionally, the app allows you to insert images, resize text with pinch-zoom, use full-screen and typewriter scrolling modes (iPad only), write a screenplay using scriptwriting mode, check live word and character counts, set targets for word and character counts, find and replace text and customize the keyboard row and shortcuts for external keyboard users.
2018. Scrivener for macOS adds Dark mode and Scriptwriting
In a small corner of the galaxy known as macOS, an entirely marvelous update known as Scrivener 3.1 has materialized. Among its many clever innovations, it has mastered the art of dark mode on macOS 10.14, allowing you to command the forces of light and shadow across your writing universe with ease. It also wields scriptwriting wizardry, offering mystical powers like "MORE" and "CONT'D" support for PDFs, dual dialogue that actually behaves, and a cunning ability to stop sentences from inexplicably leaping across pages in your scripts. The Compile function has undergone a transformation worthy of an ancient prophecy, now capable of conjuring cover images for PDFs, appeasing the arcane demands of print-on-demand services, and wielding direct formatting spells for Epub 3 and Kindle KF8. To top it off, a shimmering new "focus mode" descends upon your text, gently obliterating distractions by dimming everything but the line, sentence, or paragraph in your orbit. Truly, the universe of writing just got a whole lot more interesting.
