Buy it once. Your story lives in your files, on your machine — not on our servers.
Every plotting view reads the same living outline — move a beat on the timeline and it moves in the outline, the character pages, the tag index. Nothing to sync, because there's only one story.
Drag beats between scenes and plotlines. Drag whole scenes — even multi-selected blocks — and the acts renumber themselves. Plotting is re-plotting; the board is built for the tenth reshuffle, not the first draft.
Characters carry the attributes you define — wants, fears, arc stages, anything. Relationships are labeled in both directions, and every character page lists the scenes they appear in, computed straight from the board.
Pin the rules of your magic system. Give every location a dossier. Tag beats by theme and see every thread's spine at a glance. Search all of it with one keystroke.
Each project is a portable .plotloft file in your Documents folder — readable JSON, yours to back up, version, or sync with any Dropbox-style folder you already use.
No account. No signup. No telemetry. Plotloft doesn't have a server to phone home to — the app works identically on a train, a plane, or a cabin with no Wi-Fi.
Rolling local backups on every writing session, plus named draft snapshots whenever you want to try the brave version of Act 2. Your novel never has a single point of failure.
We boarded Bram Stoker's Dracula — 21 dated scenes, six plotlines, nine characters, the works — and put it in your browser. Drag things around; get a feel for the board. It's the fastest way to know if Plotloft thinks the way you do.
Your plotting tool shouldn't charge rent on your own novel. Pay once, own it, plot forever.
One email when Plotloft launches, with the launch-week discount. Maybe two or three emails total before then. Unsubscribe anytime.

.plotloft files in your Documents folder, plus automatic rolling backups next to them. They're readable JSON — if Plotloft vanished tomorrow, your outline would still be right there, openable in any text editor. No account, no cloud, no lock-in.
