Take a peek inside
StoryMill 4 is flexible and intuitive. Use it as your no-nonsense place to write and revise, with its distraction-free full screen and powerful annotations, or as your complete database of every character, location and scene that makes up your novel. You can also set a daily writing goal and keep track of it using the Progress Meter. There are also handy tools to help you keep track of clichés, and monitor how many times you use a word. There's a single place for all your research – add pictures, tags, files and links, or make notes for any item in your project. It's all right there within easy reach!
Have timeline, will travel
Best Timeline Apps For Mac
With StoryMill 4’s Timeline View, you can group scenes so you can see the relationship between them. Change the unit of time measurement all the way from minutes to centuries. Insert scenes or events and view the list of untimed scenes. No matter what passage of time your story takes, the Timeline View will give you a perspective unique only to StoryMill 4.
Take some of the pain out of editing
The Snapshot feature eases the editing process, letting you quickly visit any scene or chapter and take a snapshot of your work. You can then view two versions of your writing, and make edits and revisions in one so you can compare it to the other. If you like what you see, you can keep it, or go back to the original.
Clean and simple
One of StoryMill 4’s best features is the Full Screen Mode, providing you with a clean, distraction-free writing landscape. No background apps. No menu bar. Not even email! It’s just you focusing on your novel. Pick any color background and any color type – even determine your margins – either way, your eyes will thank you for it.
Planned List Revamp - Now users can enjoy a better view of their planned tasks. Earlier, while inviting anyone to a shared list, Voiceover was announcing the incorrect information regarding the ' Invite via ' button. Fixed bug to show the task title text when you hover over it. We have fixed this issue. Now, 'planned list' will be showing a view with Filters to group the tasks either by dates or by list.

When I first worked my way through the Aeon Timeline tutorial, I felt a real fist-punch, jump-up-and-down-and-hug-the-dog moment.. Aeon Timeline is having Linda the Genius (Editor) sitting with me as I write, holding my hand. By using Aeon Timeline early, when I’m writing my first draft and planning how the plot’s going to unfold, I save so much time (not to mention my sanity) later on.
Not only has Aeon Timeline 2 been a great help to me in finishing my novel, but, as owners of a small publishing company, we have been using the project management features to help us manage production and marketing plans for four books we'll be releasing in the next few months. Great to be able to use a powerful and flexible application for both purposes.
