OENT is built around a simple writing loop: write in a document, turn important names into assets, break your writing into useful segments, then share the segments that belong on your timeline.
This page gets you using the app quickly. The deeper guides at the bottom explain each tool in more detail.
Documents are where your draft lives.
Open a document and start writing normally. You can use a document for a chapter, scene, essay, outline, research note, or any other piece of writing you want to organize in your project.
You do not need to set everything up before writing. Start with the text you have, then add structure as the story becomes clearer.
Assets are the important people, places, objects, groups, or ideas in your project.
When you write a name that should become reusable project information:
For example, you might define Cinderella as a character, The Palace as a location, or The Glass Slipper as an item.
Once something is an asset, OENT can recognize it in your writing and let you keep notes, images, aliases, and attributes for it.
A segment is a small piece of writing that holds one clear context.
In a story, a segment might be a key moment:
In an essay, segments might be structural parts:
Segments make your writing easier to move, organize, and connect to the timeline.
When you need a new piece of writing, create a new segment in your document instead of forcing everything into one long block.
Use segments for moments that might need to move later, connect to the timeline, or carry their own attributes.
A good rule: if a piece of writing has its own purpose, it can be its own segment.
The timeline is where you organize story chronology.
When a document segment should also appear in the timeline:
After sharing, the segment is connected in both places. You can write it in the document and organize its timing in the timeline.
