    Microsoft word is a general purpose word processor. STARC is a screenwriting tool and fiction note taking app. They are not remotely the same.

    Manuscript is more of a general purpose writing tool. It's not as pretty, but it has plenty of features overall, and doesn't lock any of them behind a paywall. It also (at least so far) hasn't bought into the AI (theft of intellectual property) hype.
