What it does

Open-Write is an open-source instrument for designing long-form stories — screenplays, novels, and television. The architect drives; the tool holds the structure, checks it, and renders the draft. Free under Apache 2.0.

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
