SceneWeaver
A structure-aware manuscript development environment for complex long-form writing — with continuity and integrity tooling that generic editors don't have.·sceneweaver.uk
SceneWeaver is a structure-aware manuscript development environment for novelists, series writers, and worldbuilders. It organizes long-form work as a hierarchical tree of chapters, scenes, and sections, tracks characters, items, locations, and organisations as continuity-aware entities, and provides readability, repeated-phrase, and data-quality reports. It is local-first and offline, storing manuscripts as a single portable file with no accounts or cloud sync, and exports to DOCX, PDF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown, plain text, Fountain, and LaTeX.
