Scrivener

Scrivener is one of the most powerful organizational tools a writer can add to their arsenal. With a customizable interface that can be catered to your workflow, Scrivener allows you to compile all of your project research and notes in a single place that can then be viewed from numerous perspectives. Scrivener makes it easy to cross-reference your notes, outlines, and draft sections from a single window or split screen, and its full-screen editor switches off the distractions so you can focus on what's most important.

It's a cute program if you spend 90% of your time playing around with how it looks, but the PC version is hot garbage when it comes to using it for actual and serious writing. Most editors won't touch a scrivener file, meaning you have to export your draft for your editor, and then manually enter all their edits because, unlike Word or other software (most editors still want .docx), you can't track changes or accept all or read the notes your editor left you. Want to format a book? Better be prepared to watch a few hours (at least) of tutorial videos for what should be a fairly simple process. And seriously, all those great writers who came before the Scrivener era? They didn't use a damned corkboard or character profile sheet-- they sat down at their word processors or typewriters and wrote. Some even did their first drafts by hand. This is a program for wanna-be writers who are trying to impress everyone with "look at my fancy real novelist software!" No thanks. Uninstalled.
