FAQ

Before you settle in.

What kind of writing is Minstrel for?

Long-form projects that get complicated: novels, memoirs, serials, scripts, and anything else where the cast, timeline, notes, and draft all need to stay in conversation.

Do I have to keep my work in Minstrel forever?

No. Minstrel keeps your projects portable, with export options for Markdown, DOCX, and PDF. Your files should still feel like yours when you leave the app.

Where are my projects stored?

On your Mac. Minstrel is built around local writing files, not a locked online workspace, so you can keep your own backups and move your work around normally.

Can I try it before subscribing?
