Story Planner
Story Planner is a macOS writing and outlining app for planning novels, screenplays, RPG campaigns, essays, and other story-driven projects.
What is Story Planner?
Story Planner is a native writing-planning app for macOS that helps writers organize ideas before drafting. It is designed for novelists, screenwriters, role-playing game creators, and other storytellers who want to structure projects with clear notes and planning tools. Users can build projects around characters, locations, scenes, and other story elements, then keep related material together while developing plot and structure. The app also supports broader writing workflows such as essays and long-form creative projects, making it useful for both fiction and non-fiction planning. Story Planner is published by Literautas and focuses on prewriting, outlining, and project organization rather than serving as a full desktop word processor.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Story Planner is a legitimate writing app for Apple platforms. Access to your files or iCloud data is normal if you choose to save, export, or sync projects, and that access matches the app’s planning purpose. Your notes, outlines, and story materials may contain sensitive creative work, so use your usual care with cloud syncing and shared devices. Removing the app can leave your writing unavailable from the app until it is reinstalled or your projects are exported elsewhere.
Recommendation: Keep Story Planner if you actively use it to plan writing projects or store outlines in iCloud. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other apps, but make sure any projects you want to keep are exported or safely synced first.
