Find the thread.
Bring your scenes into the Structure Compiler. Use a familiar framework to see what fits and what’s still missing.
Take the next step.
Export an outline or screenplay, or make a portable backup. Your next draft starts with a clearer picture.

A FEW LOOSE ENDS
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Who is Story Structure for?
Writers who like to see their story take shape: novelists, screenwriters, and storytellers exploring a new idea or reorganizing a draft.
Can I use it for free?
Yes. Free includes 1 project, the Idea Board, Structure Compiler, built-in frameworks, imports, exports, and account syncing. You do not need a payment card to create a free account.
Do I have to follow a template?
No. Brainstorm freely on the Idea Board, then use a structure when it helps. Pro also lets you create and clone custom structures.
Can I import an existing screenplay?
Yes. Import a Fountain, Final Draft (.fdx), or plain-text screenplay to create scene cards. You can also restore a Story Structure JSON backup.
How is my work saved?
Signed-in work syncs to your account, and the app also keeps browser data. Use JSON backups for a separate portable copy. Check that syncing has completed before changing devices.
How do I manage my Pro subscription?
Open your account menu in the workspace and choose Manage billing. The Stripe billing portal lets you manage payment details and cancellation.
