Field notes

Scene It presents scenes as manuscript pages and as reorderable cards, with a Boneyard for cuts that may return. Its save schedule includes frequent snapshots, and the page says backups are copied outside the book as well. A book is stored as a Finder package containing a Markdown file; the app also exports scenes to Word, optionally carrying comments into the document.
