Review the Story as structured records
Review events, dates, locations, participants, and other fields together in Spreadsheet view before you revise.
Catalpas Atelier writing workspace
Scroll
A local-first writing and planning studio for novels, nonfiction, and complex long-form projects. Draft in Markdown, organize story data, compare timelines, and keep every working file in a project folder you control.
Project-first writing
Keep the manuscript and its working context together
Write in a focused editor while the project tree, linked cards, metadata, references, and inspector stay close at hand. Scroll works with ordinary local folders and readable source files, so the project remains portable outside the app.
One Story, eleven built-in views
Choose the view that answers the question in front of you
Scroll's eleven built-in Story views read the same local records. Move from fields and dates to relationships, places, or visual canvases without duplicating the Project.
Compare events across time
Use Timeline, Gantt, or Subway views to inspect sequence, duration, and parallel threads from the same records.
Save the relationship view you need
Filter, group, and sort a Relationship graph, then save that view for the next pass through the Project.
Keep places tied to the Story
Pin locations on a Project map and inspect place cards without separating settings from the Story data.
Explore ideas with visual canvases
Use Mindmap, Whiteboard, and Flowchart views to cluster research, trace causality, and explore branches alongside the draft.
Keep Story events and writing work distinct
Turn revision goals into actionable tasks, then review the same work in Board, Calendar, List, or Schedule views.
