Gingko Writer

Maker

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

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.

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 love Gingko writer. I use it for various applications, capturing mental models, planning out system architectures and breaking down complex problems to smaller chunks. Having worked on various complex engineering topics in the past 8 years, I have yet to come across something similar that could support me so well as Gingko. My favourite features - apart from the tree-like writing structures, - are the hot keys and the flexible pasting options. Oh, and the markdown support. If you are an engineering manager, solution architect, or just someone who likes to decompose problems in writing, I highly recommend you to try out GINGKO!

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!

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.
