Just what I have been looking for. Free of distracting options and features, and the most useful way to manage structure of your document I have yet tested.

Also, since it hit 1.0, it's no longer freeware.

$30 shareware -- has someone let Jer know his app on here?

hmmm... doesn't seem like any of them are "properly" tagged....

but I'd defieintiely add something like: "creative" "story" "fullscreen" "novel" "writing" "database" ...

Where have you seen a 1.0 version?

Only the beta is free of charge. Version 1.0 costs $30, so this should be classified as Shareware.
