StoryShape 0.1.22 beta (build 23)

StoryShape is a free Mac beta for writers building books, plots, and connected worlds. It works locally without an account or an internet connection for ordinary writing.

This update focuses on the everyday flow of organizing a manuscript:

  • Books and chapters open as scene cards by default. You can rearrange cards and use the library's contextual actions to add or rename manuscript items.
  • Plan makes it easier to switch plots, choose a template, create a named beat, connect beats, and move around the canvas.
  • World opens to a Wiki home with topics, recent entries, and author-featured starting pages. Entry pages put relationships and backlinks beside the lore, with a path back to the home page.
  • The bundled Wonderland tour features key World pages to demonstrate the new Wiki navigation.

The DMG is for Apple-silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. The ZIP is for StoryShape's manual Check for Updates command; there are no automatic update checks. Existing local projects remain yours. As this is a beta, keep an independent backup of important work.

StoryShape's current first-party source is maintained privately by Iron Candle Interactive. Earlier publicly released Apache-licensed source retains its historical license. Bug reports and feature requests are welcome at StoryShape Feedback.
