The record

Purpose: Story Architect is an all-in-one writing app for screenplays, comics, plays, books and other story forms organized in a shared project bible.
Projects: The Free plan permits unlimited projects and unlimited documents per project.
AI writing: Its AI assistant can paraphrase, summarize, expand or shorten text, translate, insert text between paragraphs and generate text from a prompt; AI use consumes credits.
Story planning: Pro includes mind maps, a corkboard and timeline, character relationship tools, location and world maps, and extended statistics.
Collaboration: Creator adds real-time collaboration, and its subscribers can grant project access to co-authors on any subscription tier, with editing abilities determined by each co-author’s plan.
Import formats: The help page says STARC supports importing KIT Scenarist, Final Draft, Celtx and Trelby formats, plus TXT, ODT, DOCX and Fountain files.
Platforms: The download page lists apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS/iPadOS and Android.
Mobile sync limit: Desktop and mobile project synchronization is still in development; the maker documents manual project-file transfers between them.
Content ownership: The user agreement says users own what they create with STARC and permit the maker to use content only as needed to provide the service.
Support: The pricing FAQ directs users to [email protected] for help.
Open source: The maker describes Story Architect as open core: core source code is available under MIT, while some features are closed source and commercially licensed.
Intended users: The maker presents Pro as a plan for professionals and Creator as a plan for people who are often on the move.
