PureWrite vs Narratives

PureWrite is a writing tool with no distractions. Your documents are Markdown files in your own folder, and other apps such as Obsidian can edit them too. Writing and exporting are free. Writing Studio, a one-time purchase, is for making a longer work: a screenplay, a novel or a paper. The free app: • Start typing and the file sidebar and the table of contents leave the screen. Move the pointer back and they return. • Open a folder you already have. There is no import step and no database, and the folder can stay an Obsidian vault or a git repository. • Edit the document as it looks, while the file on disk stays ordinary Markdown, tables and links included. • Hebrew and English in one document: each paragraph takes its own direction, and nothing is written into the file to do it. • Search the whole folder, with the context around every match. • Keep footnotes and images in the file as you wrote them. • Use focus mode, typewriter scrolling, find and replace, and quick open. • Export a folder or a single document as Word, PDF or EPUB. • Autosave runs a second after you stop typing. Writing Studio: • Screenplays in the standard page format: Courier 12, (MORE) and (CONT'D), dual dialogue, locked scene numbers and production revision marks. Scripts are plain Fountain files, written with nothing else on screen. • Export to PDF, Word and Final Draft, and import from Final Draft. Final Draft does not support right-to-left text, so a Hebrew or Arabic script goes out as PDF or Word. • Templates for fiction, life stories, academic work, Torah study and screenplays, with questions and a length target for each part. The prompts appear in the editor and stay out of your files, so you can switch structure without touching your text. • A sources desk: keep a passage with its source, and leave a short reference in the document. Citations come in seven styles, and a source is looked up only when you ask. • Two languages side by side: a document and its translation, each in its own file, with the matching paragraph marked. • Versions of a document, saved as you write, compared word by word and restored. • An on-device assistant: translate, reword or shorten a selection, then compare the result with your original. Ask a question about the folder, or look for contradictions between chapters. It needs Apple Intelligence on a supported device. PureWrite never sends your documents anywhere: no account, no telemetry. The network is used only when you ask the studio to look up a source. macOS, iPhone and iPad. The download is free. Writing Studio is a one-time purchase, not a subscription, shared across your devices with the same Apple Account.

Thoughts do not arrive in order. Narratives helps you bring them together. Write a few messages or dictate a voice note: an idea, a plan, details you do not want to forget, or a question you are still working through. Talk it over at your own pace. After the conversation, Narratives organizes the material into a card with the main idea, useful details, decisions, and questions that remain open. FROM SCATTERED THOUGHTS TO A USEFUL NOTE • Capture thoughts by text, voice, or photo. • Return to the original messages whenever you need context. • Edit the card to make it your own. • Preview and share just the card as text or images. Long image exports use multiple pages. • Export a full dialogue separately when you want to include the source conversation. SEE WHAT CONNECTS Daily summaries bring together the important topics from your conversations. Weekly summaries connect recurring themes, changes, and questions that are still open. Events and reminders, saved memories, web search, and weather are also available when useful. PRIVATE, ON YOUR IPHONE The conversational AI, voice transcription, and image analysis run on your device. Your conversations, cards, and saved memories are stored locally. No account, subscription, or in-app purchase is required. The model downloads separately on first launch; core AI features become available when setup completes. Optional online tools send the necessary request to an external service, for example for web search or weather. Sharing and backup export happen when you choose. You can review, correct, or delete saved memories in Settings. AI can make mistakes. Keep the original conversation, review important details, and edit a card before sharing it.
