What is Scyn?

Scyn is a unique visual plotting tool tailored for writers, utilizing a causal graph layout rather than the traditional timeline grid. This fresh methodology represents each scene as a distinct node, with directional links illustrating the progression of events. Each node is customizable with a title, a short description, an identifier for chapters or acts, and a color code, while the links can also feature brief labels. Users have the ability to apply filters that allow them to organize the map by act, chapter, or color, and the Story Mode function reconfigures the same map into a sequential chapter format for improved navigation.

This tool is exclusively web-based, lacking a desktop or mobile application, and it does not include a manuscript editor. Instead, it functions as a plot logic framework that complements writing software like Scrivener or Dabble, providing support without replacing those tools.

The free plan is readily available without requiring a credit card and comes with no time limits, enabling users to manage one novel with a cap of 100 scenes, 200 links, and 5 restorable versions, and it allows for PNG exports. For users desiring enhanced features, the Pro plan is available at $4.99 per month or $49 per year, unlocking unlimited projects, the capacity to create maps with up to 1,000 scenes and 2,000 links, access to Story Mode, tools for managing Cast and Places, unlisted sharing with five collaborators, 30 versions, and options for exporting in both PDF and DOCX formats. In summary, Scyn stands out as a comprehensive platform for visualizing and structuring intricate narrative frameworks, making it an invaluable resource for authors.
