Why writers switch
If your structure and draft keep ending up in separate places, Skeleton Draft keeps acts, chapters, scenes, beats, and writing in one workspace. Tandem puts prose and screenplay beside each other on wider screens. Its optional AI tools work from words you have already written and never invent story material.
