Write your novel your way, with comprehensive and personalizabile tools, and absolute privacy:
Enjoy absolute privacy by encrypting your books on your devices until you're ready to publish.
Organize your manuscript in any way you please - your manuscript, research, characters, ideas, etc., all kept in one place, while only your actual book gets published.
Write your book split in as many small, manageable sections as you want.
Use a bespoke rich text editor that can take simple text or web content just as well.
Have your text spell-checked as you type, in real-time.
Enjoy the full-screen distraction-free (focus) mode, with configurable font size, paragraph style and column width.
Set a theme to suit your mood, besides just one “day” and one “night” theme (more themes to come).
Set readability targets as well as word count targets for your book.
Track your work (word count and time spent writing) and set goals.
Export your books at any stage of their completion, in EPUB, HTML or text (more formats to come).
Back up your books, and even individual sections (with snapshots and versions). This includes simply downloading your book as a file.
Write on any device, anywhere—Novelitist runs wherever there’s a browser, be it a Mac, a PC, a tablet or a phone.
Write offline and get in sync when you’re online again.

I just created a markdown/text file and wrote. You can open that anywhere. For example ulysses used to be my favorite before I realised I could used my code editor (any editor, they will always be free). Source: about 1 year ago
If you can appreciate quality apps, Ulysses would be the best one for such a thing. Source: about 1 year ago
Software like Scrivener, Ulysses and Obsidian is based around this notion of interacting with multiple documents with little friction through a sidebar file directory. Scrivener and Ulysses in particular are for section-segmented writing that you can compile into a single document when you are finished. Source: about 1 year ago
Lots of great options given here, but I’m gonna add another: Ulysses. It’s a cloud-sync writing app you can use across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It’s minimalist enough to not be overwhelming like scrivener, but substantial enough to provide tons of organization options. It’s the best writing software I’ve found to dive into first drafts, as well as polish complete ones. Source: over 1 year ago
