Save the Cat!

This is the sort of application any novelist may hope for (along with the book, Saves the Cat Writes a Novel). Personally, this was the very tool I was hoping to find after reading the corresponding book! It is simple, sure, albeit this is one of those instances in which simple is all that is necessary, for such a tool will make sure all of the needed components are there, so that you can create a compelling story: how to ensure you capture & keep the attention of your readers is found within these tried-and-true blueprints. …If one is unfamiliar with story formulas, described in Saves the Cat Writes a Novel, this app may not seem helpful. Thereby it is best to either read the book first, or research what each ingredient is independently (& understand it) before proceeding to utilize this application as an outlining tool for your story. So appreciative of both of these tools; they are essential to all writers who’d like to know the winning recipe for a wonderful & impactful story. Thank you Saves the Cat team!

This is one of my most used pieces of software. If you’re a writer in any medium, this is an indispensable program! It helps you organize and solidify your plot so that you’re about as organized as you can be when you finally begin to bring your creation to life. This in combination with the book of the same name have proven to be two of the most useful things I’ve ever owned.

In my opinion, every writer should give this version of Save The Cat a try., even if you tried a prior version, this new version has been massively expanded. This iteration of Save The Cat has pretty much everything you could want in a writing app. Every section is well thought out with all the drill down detail needed to organize a screenplay or novel. Beat sheet, scene and character creation with relationships works flawlessly. Even Locations, Objects, setups and payoffs are all tightly integrated into the app. This is one of the few ports of an app that rivals the desktop version. My hat is off to the Blake Snyder team. I also think the upgrade functionality unlock is well worth the money, and competitively priced, given the content.
