The record

Real-time collaboration: Yes
Purpose: OpusWriter combines fiction planning, drafting, editing, publishing, and series management in one desktop writing environment.
Planning: Its planning workspace offers four outline views, more than 30 beat sheet structures, character and setting tools, timelines, and an interconnected Board.
Drafting: The Write workspace keeps an editable outline beside the manuscript and includes tools to track story promises, changes, and snapshots.
Editing: Edit provides more than 50 prose-analysis tools and supports English, German, French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
AI: OpusWriter has no built-in AI service; optional feedback and polishing features can connect to a provider chosen by the user.
Publishing: Publish can produce print-ready PDFs, EPUB 3 files, Word documents, and HTML for web publishing.
Series management: A single project can hold a series, with a Series Vault for carrying selected material between books and a Continuity Scanner for comparing details.
Integrations and imports: Users can import DOCX documents and Scrivener 3 projects, and exchange editor comments and Track Changes through Word documents.
Privacy and storage: Projects are stored on the user's computer, and the maker says the app does not send usage analytics, crash reports, diagnostic logs, or feature-use information.
Connectivity: The app works offline for planning, writing, editing, publishing, and series management; internet access is needed for activation, updates, or optional AI features.
Trial limit: After the 30-day trial, the app switches to read-only mode, but users can still open and export their work.
License and refunds: A purchase includes free version 1 updates and a 14-day refund period.
Support: Support is provided by email, and the terms state that response times are not guaranteed.
