Scrivener 3
macOS / Productivité
Typewriter. Corkboard. Scrapbook. Scrivener combines all the writing tools you need to craft your first draft, from nascent notion to final full stop.
“The biggest software advance for writers since the word processor.”
- Best-selling novelist Michael Marshall Smith
GROW YOUR MANUSCRIPT YOUR WAY
Tailor-made for creating long manuscripts, Scrivener lets you break up your writing into sections as small or large as you like. At its heart is a simple ring-binder metaphor—gather material and switch between writing, notes and research with ease. Got a great idea but don’t know where it fits? Compose your text in any order you want—write when inspiration strikes and find its place later.
SEE THE FOREST *OR* THE TREES
Whether you plan or plunge, Scrivener works your way: hammer out every last detail before typing a word, or carve out a draft and restructure later. Or do a bit of both. All text sections in Scrivener are integrated with an easy-to-use project outline, so working with an overview of your manuscript is only ever a click away, and turning Chapter Four into Chapter One is as simple as drag and drop.
RESEARCH WITHIN REACH
Need to refer to research? In Scrivener, your background material is always at hand, and you can open it right alongside what you’re working on. Write a description based on a photograph. Transcribe an interview. Or check for consistency against an earlier chapter.
GETTING IT OUT THERE
Once you’re ready to share your work with the world, turn your manuscript into a beautiful ebook or PDF, export to Word, or simply print it out. You can even share using different formatting, so that you can write in your favorite font and still keep your editor happy.
Scrivener’s users include best-selling novelists, screenwriters, students, academics, lawyers, journalists and translators. It won’t tell you how to write—it just provides everything you need to start writing and keep writing.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
Scrivener 3.5.1 is a bug fix and refinement release for 3.5, containing the following changes:
• Updated app icon to be more like the older icon but using Liquid Glass.
• Fixed bug whereby split view dividers could be drawn in the wrong place in some circumstances.
• Fixed issue with headers and footers drawing inverted in the print preview panel.
• Fixed appearance of progress bars in the toolbar search field on macOS 26.
• Fixed bug whereby Quick Reference panels weren’t seen by the find panel, linguistic focus or image tools.
• Fixed bug whereby upon reloading a project, paragraphs with no style could take on the style from the paragraph above.
• Worked around a macOS 26 bug whereby a translucent bar covers up the top of the outline and snapshots list in full screen mode. The workaround for this also restores legibility to outline headers when e.g. a dark background is set for the outliner in light mode.
• Fixed bug whereby closing a split containing a comment that was being edited in the inspector would cause the text of the comment to stay visible in the inspector, and yet the comment change wouldn’t be saved.
• Fixed drawing bug where text could seem to disappear below the line being edited in page view.
• Fixed bug whereby UI validation would stop working in windows that were closed and reopened, such as the Settings panel.
• UI validation is now paused entirely during live scrolling to make trackpad scrolling more responsive.
