Chapter two · The return
A light in the window
01 · The arrival
She returns to the house she promised to leave behind.
The house at the end of the lane was dark except for one window. Mara counted the steps to the door. Twelve, just as she remembered.
02 · The discovery
A letter waits where her father used to keep his keys.
Her name was written on the envelope in a hand she had spent ten years trying to forget.
Bring the outline you already have.
Start from a blank project or import the structure from your current tool. Your chapters, scenes and beats become a place to write.

A place for each part of the work
Keep the plan close.
Give the draft room.
02
Write with your outline beside you.
Expand a beat and write beneath its prompt. Switch to the full-page view when you want to read the scene as continuous prose. Previous-scene context helps you pick up the thread.
03
Keep the world within reach.
Link characters, locations, items and other reference entries to scenes. Use typed fields and tags to organize the details your story depends on.
04
Revise with a way back.
Save named scene drafts, compare versions and restore earlier work. Use project snapshots and lock scenes or chapters when they should stay unchanged.

Who is StoryLogic for?
Novelists, screenwriters and other writers who plan in chapters, scenes and beats. It is especially useful when you already have an outline and want to keep it close while drafting.
Can I bring an existing project?
StoryLogic imports Scrivener 3, Plottr, yWriter 7, novelWriter, Obsidian Longform and Markdown. What transfers depends on the source format. Most formats support selective reimport; Scrivener import is a one-time transfer. Keep your original project and review the imported structure.
Does writing require an internet connection?
Writing, importing and exporting work locally. The app stores its library in SQLite on your computer. Release builds can check for updates, and the optional feedback feature sends a message only when you choose Send. There are no app accounts or cloud sync.
How do I work with an editor?
Export a .storylogic-review package, have your editor open it in StoryLogic, and import their .storylogic-feedback file. Review comments and proposed changes before accepting them. Review takes place in rounds by exchanging files.
What can I export?
Export a manuscript to Word, ePub or Markdown, or exchange projects with supported tools such as Scrivener, novelWriter and Longform. The export workspace also provides HTML and plain text, reusable profiles and a preview.
How does it relate to WritersProof and Scrivener MCP?
StoryLogic is a standalone planning and writing app. WritersProof records writing-process evidence in supported editors, and Scrivener MCP connects Scrivener to AI assistants. They are separate products for different parts of your writing workflow.
