Good catch. It's a bug, and I'll get to work on it.

that brings up a full menu of templates to get you started.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Yes absolutely. Go to Manage and click the + button

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

You can also add header images to replace the standard Chapter titles. You can also add images behind the drop caps the same way.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

If you want an image in the prose itself, hover over between the paragraphs where you want to insert the image.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

For full page or two page spreads, click on the + button and choose one of the options.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I'm glad you're enjoying it. Covers are added in Manage. I'm not sure I understand you're second question, are you seeing how to insert an image and something is wrong with it or are you not seeing how to add it?

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I’m pretty sure it needs to be discussed.

I don't want to say that I have another writing project, but I'm currently trying out OpusWriter by @wesleywatts.bsky.social and currently loving it.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

I’ll look into it. There is a click and drag option from the toolbar though. If you click and drag from the + button you can drag it to wherever you’d like.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

Looks like you found a bug. I will look into it right away.

I had a video about the #OpusWriter Change Log previously but it was long and rambly. This one is short and rambly, with a guest appearance by Princess Mao. #writingtools #amwriting #pantser youtu.be/AunIGTAvH7M?...

Not too much to ask, but I don't want to guarantee anything. Send them over and I'll have a look: wesley@opuswriter.app

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

Hi Daniel, that's meant to be used more like for archetypes. However in a future update I will be adding the ability to type whatever you want in that field so you'll be able to designate it protagonist, antagonist, or anything you want.

110

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Never hurts to ask 😃 Maybe once the app goes full price. But with its current discount and the extra charges I already pay for out-of-country sales, I just can't offer any further discounts right now.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

then once you get closer to publication, decide where your chapters are going to start and switching those scenes to chapters. (It's very easy to toggle them.)

010

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Yes. Although if you're really unsure of where your chapters are going to start and you just have a bunch of scenes, I would recommend ONLY using scenes...

Create your chapter and treat it as the chapter headings + first scene. Then each scene after that will be part of that chapter. For added separation of you want, you could put the while group in a folder too. Hopefully that makes sense. I’ll do a YouTube video on this soon.

100

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Not quite. Because some people only use chapters I didn’t want chapters to be a glorified folder or something. So when using scenes they just append whatever comes before it. So the way I think you’re using it what you would probably want to do is…

110

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Whatever is convenient for you. BSky is fine. Some formatting options like bold and italics for notes/textareas is on the list. But I probably won't set up markdown conversions since it'd be another text language and increase the potential for bugs.

110

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Thank you for the kind words. As for your question: since OpusWriter is an all-in-one app I hadn't really considered it. But that wouldn't be difficult to add. I would want to understand the purpose of the export so that I could do it right. What would you use the export for?

110

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

I've actually looked into what it would take to offer other language support. I want to do it, but I have to be honest with you, it won't be soon. I'll need a significant budget. The Editing functions are going to be very challenging to translate and I'll need native speaking translators.

110

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

I hadn't really considered split and merge, but I don't think that would be too difficult to add in. I would definitely be willing to look into it.

110

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 13/06/2026

Olá Daniel. I don't have a roadmap yet. But once it goes into full release, I'll be putting something up on the site. I'm cautious to tell to much with the roadmap though, as many of the features I have in mind no one else has yet.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

I abdicated it to my adoring fan base LMAO 😂 that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Or consider “He threatened.” Instead LMAO

What are you talking about? That’s telling you to use MORE dialogue tags. Haha

@wesleywatts.bsky.social your hatred of dialogue tags is evident, this stat bar is cracking me up #OpusWriter

OpusWriter just got its first YouTube review and watching someone go from "I just switched back to Scrivener" to "I think this might do it" in 45 minutes was something else. Thank you A.N. Sage for the incredible walkthrough. opuswriter.app www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeWU...

When I wrote in #Scrivener, once I exported to my editor I was stuck in Word until I'd accepted or rejected every change. Usually I didn't bother bringing it back, so the manuscript just lived in Word. So I'm building track changes and comments directly into OpusWriter. #amwriting #amediting

That was supposed to be how the feature worked but I couldn't get him in a .ZIP file.

Underwater. For when you want to write some mermaid-shifter romance. Blues and teals and greens slowly shifting.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Neon. Get your cyperpunk on with this one. With the flickering Opus in the top left, bloom/blur and 80s VCR scan lines moving on the buttons.

Aurora. Blues and purples and greens that shift slowly.

Typewriter is a bit simpler compared to the others. Note the horizontal cursor instead of vertical.

120

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

This one's called Noir, for that private eye type of mood. If you look closely you can see film scratches appearing every now and then on the apps interface.

010

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

This is the first premium theme I created. I love the look of that old CRT DOS look. Even included the square cursor.

Wesley Watts / OpusWriter @wesleywatts.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Question for my fellow writers: Do you care about aesthetics when you write? Does what's on screen help get you in the right mood? I've been creating some new themes for OpusWriter and I'm curious would you use any of these? Themes are below. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writermood #writingtools
