About Nimble Writer
✦ AI summary
Nimble Writer is a distraction-free writing tool built specifically for authors to craft everything from short stories to full novels with powerful organization, reference materials, and customization at your fingertips. It outpaces traditional word processors with built-in chapter management, character tracking, and Steam Cloud sync, plus Workshop support for sharing custom themes and scripts with the writing community.
Nimble Writer is a general-purpose tool for writing stories, be it short fiction stories or even complete novels or books. It focuses on being distraction-free, simple, and fully customizable.
We built Nimble Writer with a couple principles in mind to make it stand out as a primary application for authors:
If you are used to writing stories in applications such as Word or other regular office tools, you'll find that Nimble Writer will be able to help you organize bundles of stories and notes together much simpler and faster. In addition, Nimble Writer is able to import some of those old documents and convert them into the Nimble Writer format.
Traditional writing software such as Word, Open Office or Google Docs are made just for the purpose of writing, so they don't have anything that helps story writers manage their notes and reference material, and neither does it offer much customization. They don't have any kind of chapter management either. Nimble Writer has all of those things, making it a much more productive choice for story writing.
With Nimble Writer's presence on Steam we can use the power that Steam's platform brings us, such as Steam Cloud. This means that you will be able to save your stories and notes entirely on Steam's cloud servers, so that you can load up your stories on another computer as well, just as easy!
Don't forget about Steam Workshop! With the implementation of the Workshop, you'll be able to share interface themes and addons with the world, or just to customize the app with other people's addons! Share creativity!
Principles
We built Nimble Writer with a couple principles in mind to make it stand out as a primary application for authors:
- Writing without distractions or worrying about formatting.

- Materials of reference (such as photos, drawings, scribbles of text, character information, and much more) are available at your fingertips.
- Don't have any limitations to the default array of features. This means full customization, with a fully customizable and scriptable interface. Turn off features you don't need, change the entire look and feel of your writing environment, and much more.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
i like this very much i wish they had a mobile app so that i could type directly into nimble when not on the laptop because i really really don't want to have to sort through my old drafts and start importing them and gain achievements from only importing older work for my project. i have a lot of run on sentences so it's going to be a very very big head booboo for me when my time to sit down and look it over comes. please make an app someday if it isn't too selfish to request such a task.7 found this helpful
Do NOT use this if you value your writing at all. Computer crashes = Everything gone if you hadn't saved Power outage = Everything gone if you hadn't saved Windows update restart = Everything gone if you hadn't saved You get the point. Lost everything because I had to give my son a bath. Abhorrent.4 found this helpful
Lost my cloud save. Total garbage.4 found this helpful
Program used to write without any distraction. Dim screen and not too many bars and windows across the screen to distract you. I use this for making larger posts in collaborative writing. I love it!
Nimble Writer is a solid unique distraction free writing tool that I often use for all of my projects. It cuts out the bloat that other similar tools have and I highly recommend you grabbing it.
10/10: Google docs doesn't have a night-mode, and the interface is too busy to keep a tight focus. I'd give it a 11/10 if there was a way to get search-engine software to run on the system as-well.
