What tools do you use for writing? (beehaw.org)

Was curious to see what tools everyone uses for both writing and storage.

Personally I use Word for writing, Excel for planning and progress tracking, and a local MediaWiki server for note taking.

What about you?

Scrivener has been my default go-to but mostly because I've been attached to it for a while. I reckon there's a lot of better tools nowadays though.

I will second that all day every day. Scrivener has the ability to scratch all my little writing itches like nothing else has. I’ve been using it so long I’ve still got the old version and it’s just a comfy writing blanket for me at this point.

I thought about updating to the new UI version but I think I’m beginning to understand the crotchety old timers of yore and their attachment to typewriters.
