See what writers are saying about their Writabl experience.
"Finally, a writing app that understands what authors actually need and want. It has all my needs, plus some super cool features I didn't even know I wanted."
"I've tried Scrivener, Dabble, and others. Writabl is the first app where I actually have everything I need in one place. I also appreciate that the app is AI free."
"The Read to Me feature caught so many awkward sentences in my manuscript. Plus I LOVE being able to integrate my Eleven Labs voices!"
"The version history feature has saved my manuscript more than once. I can experiment freely knowing I can always go back."
"Clean, intuitive, and powerful. Writabl lets me focus on what matters most - telling my story."
"Was using Dabble but their desktop app kept crashing and I lost work twice. Writabl is web-based so... no crashes, auto-saves every 30 seconds, plus I can also save Snapshots (Which is version history) to pull up side by side when I'm making edits."
"I used Scrivener for 2 years and honestly the learning curve killed me. It's not that Scrivener is "hard" however, the layout isn't ideal. Writabl has the same drag-and-drop chapters but I actually understand where everything is. It's very intuitive."
"I have been using Reedsy for the clean interface. Writabl has that same simplicity but actually has some great features - character tracking, beat sheets, the works."
"I appreciate that all the tools are grouped in a way that makes sense, but also they are optional, so if it's not something you need, it doesn't show. For example, when I was using Autocrit, in the characters area, there's just a bunch of blank boxes that I can't delete if it's not applicable. In Writabl, nothing shows unless I have info for that section. It's less bloat."
"I kept a separate Google Sheet for character details and relationships. Writabl has a whole character section with a bonds feature where I can map who's the ex, who's the love interest, etc. It's pretty cool. I haven't see linked bonds for characters on any other writing apps."
"Tried Scrivener and loved the scene organization but their UI felt dated. Writabl has the same nested scenes feature but looks modern and doesn't feel clunky. Scriver was cheaper for the one time payment, I really didn't want a subscription model so when I saw Writabl launch the lifetime deal I snagged it."
"I was keeping character images in Pinterest, notes in Notion, manuscript in Google Docs. Writabl has research links, character images, and writing all in one place."
"The "Read To Me" feature is so cool! They have WAY better voices that actually sound human when reading my chapters back to me."
"If Scrivener, Autocrit, and a few other good apps out there had a baby...a beautiful, genius baby, it would be Writabl. It has all my favorite features pretty much from every other app I've used, none of the garbage, I don't have to bounce around, and I can choose my favorite color to customize how my writing environment works, which is fun. I really look forward to logging in. They say Writabl was built by a writer, for writers, and I truly believe that."
"The SIDE BY SIDE feature is THE BEST. I'm going to say it louder for those in the back...SIDE BY SIDE! I can have my active writing on one side and pull up my notes on the other. Or my characters, my world, my research links, my snapshots of past versions, ANY of it! This is so efficient."
