SceneWeaver is a structure-aware manuscript development environment for complex long-form fiction. It addresses the needs of writers managing novels and series by providing hierarchical organization and continuity tools absent from generic editors.
The application supports hierarchical manuscripts composed of chapters, scenes, and sections that can be reordered or split, with word counts that roll up automatically. Writers maintain continuity through dedicated entries for characters, items, locations, and organisations that hold backstories, descriptions, and other details. Integrity features include reports on statistics, readability, repeated phrases, and data quality along with restore points, snapshots, and diff viewing.
SceneWeaver operates as a local-first, offline-first desktop tool. Manuscripts are stored as portable self-contained files with no accounts, synchronization, or cloud dependency. The software transmits no manuscript content such as text, entity names, citations, or exports; bug reports and anonymous usage telemetry are opt-in, disabled by default, and exclude any writing. It includes no digital rights management and offers one-click export.
The tool is provided free of charge.
In the Productivity & Work space, SceneWeaver takes a focused approach. It focuses on maintaining structure, continuity, and data integrity across very long and complex fiction manuscripts. SceneWeaver is a consumer product aimed at novelists and long-form fiction writers. SceneWeaver costs nothing to use. SceneWeaver is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
SceneWeaver builds and maintains SceneWeaver, and it first shipped in 2024. Key capabilities include hierarchical structure, character tracking, and continuity tools.
