StoryShape 1.0.1

Deadlines, a to-do list and badges. Goals has a new Deadlines tab for due dates and word targets on your book, chapters, scenes and revision passes. A To-do button beside Projects keeps today's words at the top, then your deadlines and your own to-dos. Meeting a deadline earns a badge in Progress, and you can double-click a card's synopsis or title to edit it in place. Redo no longer counts your words twice.

Also on the Microsoft Store. Read the full release notes on GitHub ↗
