I am a bit of a cataloger when it comes to writing resources, so here are some of them. I haven't tried all of these myself, so please let me know if I get anything wrong. If people find this helpful, I have world building and editing related ones I can share too.
- πyWriter: It is not the most sleek looking program, but it works.
- πGoogle Docs
- πSlugline
- πHighland
- π Wavemaker
- π Joplin: The cloud hosting does cost money. Open source alternative to Evernote.
- π Only Office: This one is good for people who want a private cloud-hosted alternative to Google Docs. It is open-source.
- π Obsidian: I have started using this for world building, but many authors use it for writing. Within it, you can create your own wiki, and view connections in a cool graph. It has many plug-ins you can add.
- πAnytype: The program is free and private, but for the cloud, you have 1GB of storage, then youβll need a plan for more.
- π Manuskript: I havenβt tried this one, but it looks similar to yWriter, but with some different features
- π Bibisco: A writing and note organizer program with timelines, mind-maps, and more.
- π Reedsy Book Editor: It is online(not self-hosted/a program download)
- π SmartEdit: a MSWord alternative for writers that is supposed to have several helpful editing features.
- π Quoll Writer: Open-source, and has several unique features, such as βwarm up session.β
- π Trillium: Self-hosted and open-source.
- Plot Factory
- 4thewords: It turns writing into a game, where you send your game character on a monster-fighting quest by writing.
