My idea on how to use it best: Novels-Scrivener Short stories-iA Writer Routines-iA Writer (or Apple Notes) Non-fiction articles for -iA Writer Ideas ”on the fly”- Drafts (or Apple Notes)Īny thoughts? Would be very thankful for input/feedback that can help me spend my time being creative instead of confused. Is Drafts just ”overkill”- is iA just as good to put in notes and ideas ”on the fly”? Is iA Writer also a good option to Scrivener in large text projects with many chapters? Or shall I-since I own a copy of each app- keep my novels in Scrivener and the rest uniA? I left Evernote since Apple Notes us enough for my needs. That said: does anyone here use both Scrivener and iA Writer? If so, how do you use them? I tend to use Apple Notes aswell, mainly as a ”library” for texts, ideas and such, even if I write in other apps. What I like about iA Writer is also that I can use iCloud instead of Dropbox-an option I don´t have in Scrivener. I don’t see any menus, so I don’t get distracted as easily. Set your default plain text file extension. iA Writer subtly nudges me to keep my hands on the keyboard, typing. ![]() Add new or configure existing accounts for: Ghost Medium Micro.blog Micropub WordPress Files.

The Focus Mode and Syntax Highlight features are just great beyond any doubt. Under Printer, make sure Use Printer Offline is not selected. Then select your printer > Open print queue. Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners. It does require some basic Markdown knowledge to get used to the formatting, but it makes up for it by being easily exportable. Verify that your printer is not in Use Printer Offline mode. Also it seems to be good when updating my website ( mainly a WP blog).I also use Drafts for ideas.Īs you might understand this is not the best way to be creative. Despite its minimal features, iA Writer can be a powerful tool for boosting your productivity. Recently I bought iA Writer, since Ulysses is too expensive due to the steep subscription cost and iA Writer can post directly to. I spend too much time on the options and too little time on the writing. However I feel that for my short stories, standup routines, non-fiction articles and such, Scrivener confuses me. What you need to write well is a spartan setting that allows you to fully concentrate on your text and nothing but your text. ![]() I use Scrivener since many years to write on my novel-ideas.
