Gingko Writer - Writing software that gets you to first draft, fast

Hi! I'm Adriano, a Kuwait-born Argentinean, a proud Canadian, and a homeschooling dad. During my PhD in physics, I struggled immensely with writing my thesis. Instead of buckling down and writing it anyway, I took some "productive procrastination" time to design a better way to tackle writing projects ;) Gingko Writer is the latest version of that initial design. It's already helped hundreds of people draft their theses, publish their books, and finish their novels. If you're curious, give it a try! It might be just what you need to get over your current writing block... PS: I don't do any paid ads, so if you like what you see, please help spread the word! Your writer friends will thank you :D

There is nothing like a concept whose time has come, this is the concept, this is the product.

This software has quite literally saved me countless times. It’s super helpful to sort and organize your work/writings. Thank you for this, and if you haven’t tried it - it’s about time, my friend!

I've been using it for years since it was just a web app and I really like using it for structured writing projects. I used it in my MA and PhD. I also use it for marketing email and website content. I highly recommend using it for anyone. It's easy to use and super logical.

If you're involved in writing of any kind, in my opinion, getting Gingko is be the best move you can make. I'm a part-time young adults detective novels writer and I cannot begin to tell you how this tool has made my life easier over the past few years. I would say that it has easily cut my story development time in half. I've tried many (many) outliners and mind mapping tools before finding Gingko, but nothing compares. This is the rare kind of software that doesn't try to be everything to everybody: it does one thing and it does it extremely well. I also use it often at work to outline anything from reports to site maps and even Powerpoint presentations. I would give it 11/10 if I could.

Gingko is a SUPER USEFUL tool for outputting, structuring, organising and iterating ideas / copy / content. It is very intuitive, fluid and helpful. Even though most articles / essays / reports are linear, our relationship with the underlying material is not linear. Gingko allows you to rapidly output what you do know in a non-linear way brain friendly way. It is an invaluable writing and planning tool... I've been a paying subscriber for 7+ years.

Gingko Writer is a kind of combination outliner and corkboard (not visually but functionally). It’s a little hard to convey how it works because I’m not sure there’s anything else quite like it. Maybe “horizontal outliner” is a better description. You can expand an idea from left to right by adding blocks of text at deeper levels, and those blocks can be easily rearranged by dragging and dropping. It’s the only writing tool I’ve found that works the same way my mind does.

Gingko helped me many-many times - removing stress from all kinds of writing in my PHD. It basically removes the frustration-part, when you stare blankly at your never-ending document and keeps (sometimes even adds) the fun part of writing. I use it for compiling reports on my analysis - and my supervisor always praises me for keeping so clear structure. Well, I praise Gingko for it!

Gingko Writer has transformed several of my writing and business projects. It is just as applicable to research papers as it is to business plans and mind mapping. Having mastered the keystrokes for Gingko Writer, I find it easy to handle all my outlining needs with one application instead of bouncing around to several. One of the things I like best about Gingko Writer is that it forces me to start with the highest-level outline and then flesh out pieces at progressively deeper levels. Rearranging a whole project is a snap. And whenever I realize that certain levels need to be broken out into multiple parts themselves, the app naturally responds and helps me focus on just those parts without getting overwhelmed by the whole. Bringing an entire file into a Google Doc or other word processor is simple, but I also like that I can backup to / import from a JSON file. It's an exceptionally elegant product, doing one thing *really* well. But the one thing it does applies to a much larger set of needs than you first expect. The more you use it, the more you'll discover uses for it!
