Introduction
Welcome to StoryMill 3.2.2! StoryMill includes the following features:
• StoryMill enables you to manage the creative process like never before. You can track, tag
and filter characters, scenes, locations, research and more with the unique dynamic outline. It
even provides special tools for fiction writers like word frequency counting and a progress
meter to help you meet your daily writing goal.
• No more Post-It notes and cramped scrawl in the margins of pages. StoryMill lets you
annotate and bookmark any text in your chapters. You can even add pictures to your
annotations!
• StoryMill sports a beautiful native Aqua interface that is both intuitive and powerful, applying a
familiar three-pane design to create a revolutionary approach to novel writing.
• StoryMill is the first writing software to include support for timelines and multiple storylines.
• Simple, meet powerful. You can filter any view in StoryMill using a comprehensive set of builtin properties or apply your own tags for maximum flexibility. Instead of deleting scenes, just
tag them to save for later. Keep multiple versions of scenes or entire chapters. The
possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
• StoryMill is a complete solution for fiction writers, with powerful features to help you
manage your project from the initial brainstorming session through the process of finding an
agent.
• StoryMill is built from the ground up for OS X using Apple's Cocoa framework so it can take
advantage of the world's most advanced operating system. StoryMill integrates with Apple
Backup, Spotlight and more.
