Story Grove is a novel-writing workspace built around short, regular writing sessions. Writers can set a daily goal in minutes, start a timed sprint, and draft in a distraction-free mode while the app tracks sessions and word counts. Manuscripts can be organized into acts, chapters, and scenes, with notes, comments, saved versions, and research ideas kept beside the text. Voice notes can be dictated and transcribed on device. Story Grove says drafts autosave offline and sync between Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The listing describes it as free with no ads or tracking. It is aimed at people writing a book-length manuscript rather than general note-taking.
