Buying or Updating to Scrivener 3 on macOS

Scrivener 3 is available now for macOS. For more information, please visit the features page. To buy, click “Buy Now”.

If you own an earlier version of Scrivener for macOS that was bought through our web store, or through a vendor that refers you to our web store (such as Amazon), you are eligible for an upgrade discount.

If you purchased Scrivener 2 on or after 20th August 2017, you can update to Scrivener 3 for free.

If you purchased Scrivener 2 before that date, you can update to Scrivener 3 with a 45% discount.

To upgrade from an earlier version and claim your discount:

Click on “Buy Now”.

Click on “Upgrade from an earlier version” beneath “Add to Basket”.

Where prompted, enter the email address you used to purchase Scrivener in the past.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase process. Your discount will automatically be applied (so that you be either charged with a 45% discount or not charged at all, depending on when you bought the earlier version).

Problems upgrading?

If you have any problems updating from an earlier version, please email us at updates@literatureandlatte.com.

Mac App Store Users

Scrivener 3 is available on the Mac App Store right now. Unfortunately, however, the Mac App Store does not offer any way of providing discounted upgrade pricing. This means that if you want to buy Scrivener 3 on the Mac App Store, you’ll need to pay full price again.

However, we don’t want to punish our App Store customers, so if you would like access to the same upgrade discounts as users who buy from us direct, please forward your original App Store purchase receipt (clearly showing Scrivener and the date of purchase) to updates@literatureandlatte.com. We’ll then send you a discount coupon. Please note, however, that because the Mac App Store does not support discount coupons, you will have to get Scrivener 3 from our own store for the discount to work.
