From first thought to finished piece.
Most writers use several different tools to plan, track and write their work: a notes app, a timeline tool, handwritten cue cards or mind maps, a word processor. Zemble does it all in one place.
Your writing lives on your own computer or cloud storage. Zemble automatically saves your work as you write, ensuring every word is backed up and safely stored.
Get your ideas on the page.
Start brainstorming in the Think pad, or import your existing notes. Jot down ideas about plot, character and setting, or notes for key scenes.
Turn your notes into a plan. Select an idea and make it a card, ready to arrange on the board.
Place your cards on the board to see your structure take shape.
Each card holds your notes, your research, and eventually your writing for that section. Drag and drop to move them around the board, or add new ones.
Toggle between different views to see them in reading Sequence or grouped into Strands according to theme, character or location. Apply the Timeline filter to keep track of dates, or switch to Zones to demarcate chapters or movements.
Each card opens its own document.
Click on a card to start writing that section. Break down complex pieces into manageable parts. You can see your notes and research beside the page as you work, or switch into focus mode. When you have completed a piece, Compile puts every card together in your chosen order, to read, edit, or export as Word, PDF or plain text.
