Hello everyone and welcome back to another video it is
Francesco here. So in today's video what we're going to be doing is diving into the top 10 writing applications of
2018 so in this video what we're going to be doing is specifically looking at writing applications
Designed to help you with your scripts your novels or even your playwrights that you're working on now these writing applications
Will include some of the note takers, but they will not act as note takers, so just think that in mind
There is a separate video for note takers and that'll be in the description below so guys just
Before we go I'm in today's video
I just wanted to thank our sponsor
Which is Setapp. Setapp is a subscription service for Mac users allowing them access to hundreds of
applications under one suite and a set monthly rate now
You can check out my full review in description below, and you can also download it there too a huge
Thanks to setup for sponsoring this week on the people of the youtube channel
So guys without further ado, let's dive into a few of these applications
So guys the first application on my list is Scriven ear and it's available Mac
PC and iOS, and it comes in a bit of a premium, it's used by award-winning novelist like Neil cross Michael
Marshall Smith and Karen Travis and Scrivener three the latest update has changed the way people
Organise their layout in terms of the outline
chapters and even progress behind the book is a whole host of strong text formatting abilities in this application and even tie the
import and export functionality and
Scrivener is used by a huge amount of heavy working professionals especially in the writing area
Just a note before we move on to the second one there will be an article below
Which will outline all of these applications as well as the pricing time stance and information for all of your knowledge?
So the second application is called by word. That's by words found BY word so we feel a huge Apple lover
This is available on Mac and iOS
By word is a favorite among Apple users
And I want you to use simple markdown editing to create stories thoughts and ideas
Now my word is more targeted towards the text editor fans out there with a full range of markdown
Functionality as well as simple text form I think theme changes
But but it's really reasonably priced for those who are looking from get to go from hobbyists to pro in no time the third application
Is one that has been growing a popularity over the last couple years
And that is Ulysses again a very Apple centric application Mac and iOS and has a quite a heavy
premium at about $40
But you do get a free 14 days now
You'll see is probably the most beautifully designed of the writing applications
Allowing you to have a distraction for experience while still having the access to functionality
Ulysses also has an advanced folder setup to help you organize the most important projects you're working on as well as HTML
exporting and lots more
Functionality like that now Ulysses is actually available through the setups description
But whenever I ask people about writing applications. It always comes in people's top
Number four is a very familiar face for those who follow the channel and that is bear bear is a note taking application
As well as a writer application to the application has emerged in the last year
It's available Mac and iOS
And it is free
So if you're looking to maybe not take the leap just yet this might be the application for you
It is really easy to start using the writing abilities you put all the text formatting as well as the markdown
But the great thing about bearing is even a neat
Organization fruit system through hash tags which makes it easier to organize all of your work and bring it all together at the end
Number five is called focus writer. This is available for PC Linux and Mac
There is a donation with this one, too
Now focus writer is one of the simplest text editors on the market delivering a really simple writing
desktop experience now the features that sort of make it a bit different on the daily goal setting allowing you to set a
Goal at the start of your day of how many words you'd like to complete
helping you to reach towards that an eventual goal that that writers always have and
The next one is called I a writer not a eye writer a writer
This is available on iOS Android and Mac and it's also coming for Windows to believe it is a one-off fee
But just check in the description below Cosette always changes, but it is very popular and it has been downloaded over
400,000 times in his first release year now I a writer has won the hearts of many of the hobbyists and
Professional writers out there is a way to really just manage your drafts and keep your writing going
on a consistent basis
It's got some huge timeout features like focus mode night mode and syntax highlighting allowing you to go in more detail
When you're trying to fix certain elements of your writing the applications aren't pretty smooth
And if you're looking for that cross-platform experience this might be your choice
So next on the list is Hemingway, and this is free vial of web
And it provides you a pretty quick and easy access tool to check your writing
Once uploading your element writing or even just starting on the application it will analyze your weed time count discounted
readability rating and also give you an ability for
Simple text formatting options now Hemingway is one of the most accessible tools if you're looking for a dead simple
free no signup tool to check your writing
Another application that might be more for the screen writer in you
In especially if you are someone who is going to take it to the next level
This application final draft is used by the most famous of production companies like the likes of the universal BBC
NBC and many of the other popular ones for to now final draft is an award-winning piece
It's available on PC iOS and Mac
but when you look at the price you understand that you really need to be looking to go pro before using it a
License to final draft is around two hundred and fifty dollars per
license so making sure that you're using it and all of the functionalities like story timeline and
Even an event plan of your script beat by beat is so valuable and important
So the final two applications are really ones that you can use to optimize your writing experience
And they are Evernote for those who know no evidence is
extremely popular note taking application
Available on pretty much every platform, and this application is really useful for writers as well
I know a lot of writers that put all of their notes into Evernote and start building a novel or a piece inside of Evernote
And then be able to go from there
Which is am so amazed and this is due to its pretty clear in terms of distraction for experience allowing to use nice range of?
Text editing so that's one that is been growing a popularity and the final option is
Grammarly and for those who don't know you can create a new document
Grammarly and start typing away and the great thing with grammerly is if you were maybe not
To the most profound write in the world
You can get a real-time feedback on your spelling and grammatical errors
I use this all the time maybe because it is a bit of a stress for me
Writing and not getting everything right so just making sure I check
Stuff is so important, so those were the 10 writing applications
I wanted to mention a couple of other ones that you could potentially use
That are pretty notable now Google Docs is one of those applications that is very popular
I use it for a lot of long-form writing and find it very very useful, Microsoft OneNote many people are claiming
This is a great writing tool because it's got the brilliant section pages
Organization allowing you to write what you need to the next one is ghost and this is a publishing platform
but has this really beautiful distraction for experience when you're typing up blog posts or pieces and
Also medium to is a very similar application allowing you to write up in a really beautiful sort of formatting
experience allowing you to write up as much as you like using the editing function also another notable one -
WordPress has started to introduce a distraction for experience where all of their sort of side mass falls away
So it becomes a lot more focus
But again a lot of these final platforms are more for publishing - so just take note of that
