StoryShape 0.1.21 beta

StoryShape 0.1.21 beta (build 22)

StoryShape is a free, local-first writing studio for Apple-silicon Macs. When this version was published, Mac source was available under Apache License 2.0. Those grants remain in force. The separate iPad application remains in development and closed source.

This release retains the expanded, editable Wonderland Chapter I tour: five scenes, linked plot beats, freely arranged Board notes, a connected World Wiki, revision examples, and a five-stop journey map. The chapter text is Lewis Carroll's public-domain work in the United States; planning and World notes are illustrative additions.

Write offers two editable scenes side by side, page and pageless views, margins and zoom, a centered focus view, and StoryShape Premium. Revise supports scene markup and numbered passes. World supports named links, an automatic or manually arranged connections graph, and a map you can consult while writing or planning.

Build 22 is a freshly signed and notarized Mac download aligned with the Mac App Store packaging and review build. The DMG is for drag-to-Applications installation; the ZIP supplies the same signed app for the manual Check for Updates command. StoryShape does not check for updates automatically or upload project data.

Beta caution: Keep independent backups of important work. Native macOS 14 GUI testing, physical 16 GB hardware testing, broader accessibility checks, and an independent writer pilot remain open. The Mac App Store and iPadOS editions are still in development.
