CHARACTERS & LOCATIONS
Give your world a cast. And a place to live.
Build character and location profiles with images and details. Connect the people and places in your story to chapters and Weave events, so the context stays close to the writing.
WRITING & WORLDBUILDING · MAC & IPAD
Bring your stories
to life.
From the first idea to the finished manuscript, keep your writing, your world, and the threads between them in one thoughtful workspace.
ROOM TO FOCUS. SPACE TO GROW.
Your manuscript at the centre.
Your whole world within reach.
SableWeave brings a chapter editor, planning tools, research, and story connections together. Spend less time hunting for the detail you need and more time shaping the story you want to tell.
01
Find your flow
Write with formatting, fonts, lists, find and replace, and spelling tools. Keep planning notes separate from the story you export.
02
Shape the manuscript
Arrange parts and scenes, review the manuscript overview, and follow draft status, viewpoints, and progress as your book develops.
03
Prepare the next draft
Save named revisions, work through comments and suggested edits, and bring supported Word feedback back into your chapter.
THE WEAVE TIMELINE
See the threads that hold your story together.
Arrange story events on a visual timeline. Follow character threads, link locations and chapters, and explore how your story’s turning points connect.
RESEARCH & SOURCES
Keep the details. Make the connections.
Collect source information, website links, and imported research files. Link sources to chapters and keep the material that informs your writing in the same project.
NOTES & SKETCHBOOKS
A home for every spark of an idea.
Keep notes and drawings alongside your manuscript. Capture the thoughts, plans, and visual ideas that help your world take shape.
YOUR WRITING. YOUR PROJECT FILES.
Keep your work
under your control.
SableWeave keeps your manuscript and its story material together in an editable project file. Work locally, or save in a folder you choose.
- Autosave, manual saving, named revisions, and recovery drafts.
- Independent project backups in a folder you choose.
- Package export with the editable project, manuscript, story material, and original attachments.
To move between Mac and iPad through iCloud Drive or another shared location, finish saving and close the project on one device before opening it on the other. Shared files are for moving between devices; simultaneous editing is not a collaboration workflow.
THE TOOLS BEHIND THE STORY
A complete creative workspace.
Manuscript structure
Organise parts, chapters, and scenes. Reorder your manuscript, split or merge chapters, and track synopses, viewpoints, draft status, and word counts.
Writing goals
Set book targets and deadlines, follow your word counts, and give each writing session a clear direction.
References beside your writing
Pin characters, locations, notes, research, or other chapters in a reference panel while keeping your current chapter open.
Comments and editor review
Anchor comments to passages and review suggested edits. Exchange chapter review copies with Word and accept or reject imported tracked text changes.
Footnotes and citations
Attach footnotes, endnotes, and citations to your manuscript. Build a bibliography from your research using APA, MLA, or Chicago styles.
Templates and tags
Save a reusable project starting point and use tags to find, filter, and organise your story material.
Reading View
Step back from editing and read your manuscript in chapter order. Choose light or dark appearance to suit your workspace.
Import and export
Import DOCX, RTF, or plain text. Export PDF, Word, or reflowable EPUB, with layout controls, contents, and optional chapter images.
Screenplay workflows
Write with screenplay elements and exchange supported core screenplay content through Fountain and Final Draft files.
Every story begins with an idea.
Make room for yours with SableWeave.
