MacStories:
However, long-form writing is a different animal altogether that benefits from a project-based approach that also includes tools for planning, organizing, researching, and tracking. Today, Literature and Latte released version 3.0 of Scrivener for macOS with a long list of new features that cements its spot as one of the premier project-focused apps available on the Mac for long-form writing.
Scrivener isn’t just for book writers, but the features that cater to them are what sets the app apart from other text editors.
I no longer write long-form but I would have loved this app in college and almost every long-form writer I know uses and loves Scrivener.
I really, really, really would like Apple Pencil/handwriting support for the iOS app. It would be great to annotate PDFs within and take quick handwritten notes.
That’s what Apple Notes is for. But Scrivener should put itself in Notes share sheet so you can export notes to it easily.
I love it too, but have yet to do anything long form. But I do use it for research at work. It’s a very flexible tool, and so deep in terms of features. Once you use it, Word and its ilk seem little better than TextEdit in comparison.
