Designed for your iPhone, iPad, MacBook, or any web-browser. Narrative allows you to access your novel wherever you are, whatever device you have with you. Your progress is saved on your device, and also to the cloud as you type.

All apps, (inc. the browser app), work both online and offline. When you come back online, the sync will save your work up to the cloud. No need to swap files between devices anymore. Live-sync sends your words to all your devices in real-time.

If you are already a writer, you can import your work-in-progress in docx or txt format.

The versions feature saves regular automated snapshots. This saves you from the nightmare of losing work accidentally.

Detailed stats help you track your progress, and a proofreader checks your grammar, spelling, and style in any of 12 languages.

How do you like to write? Is it curled up on the sofa with your iPad, or at a proper desk with your iMac or MacBook? Some people even work on their novel using their mobile.


Narrative lets you do all this and more. Write ideas on your phone while you are out and about, continue on your laptop when you get home.


You dont have to worry about constantly pressing save. Narrative automatically saves as you type.


The integrated proofreader will help you improve your writing. It highlights issues, and makes suggestions that you can either take on board, or ignore as you see fit. After all, you are creating a whole world.. you can bend the rules anyway you want.


Writing a book is no small feat. We hope that Narrative will help you finish that book by making your writing as easily accessible as possible.



While using the app, the user interface fades out, so you are free to concentrate on your words. You have formatting options, but they will not distract you from your work.

An integrated proofreader checks grammar, spelling, and style issues, in several languages and dialects. The proofreader checks as you type, and you can toggle the display of hints/suggestions on or off.

Get motivated, with detailed stats and charts on your writing progress. See which days and hours you’re most productive.

Import or export your novel. You can share with friends, or prepare for publishing. Export options include ePub, docx, or plain text.

Smart backup to Dropbox or Google Drive. Automatically exports a copy of your work to your own cloud account in docx format, after every writing session.

Narrative requires a subscription. Monthly and annual subscription plans are available. When you sign up, you have a freemium account that allows you to type up to 1500 words per month.

You have access to the app on all platforms, on as many devices as you wish. You may import as many words as you like. If you need to type more words, then join us by subscribing for $5 a month.
