MyStory.today app version 1.24 with improved widget management, account creation, and bug fixes
A new MyStory.today update is now available. Version 1.24 introduces modular widgets for workspace customization, streamlined account creation, and comprehensive bug fixes to enhance your writing experience.
🧩 Modular Character and Place Widgets
Okay, let’s break down the headline feature: you can finally turn character and place widgets on and off. Think of it like having a light switch for parts of your workspace.
Characters Widget:
Hide it when you're writing that minimalist novel, bring it back when you need to remember Bob's eye color
Places Widget:
Same logic - your workspace stays tidy when you're not tracking every coffee shop in your story
It Works Everywhere:
Disable a widget and it vanishes from the sidebar, editor, and timeline like magic
Focus Mode:
Turn off everything except your words when inspiration strikes
Perfect for when you’re deep in flow state and don’t want twenty panels reminding you about world-building you’ll deal with tomorrow. Or flip everything on when you’re in planning mode and need all the details.

🎯 Streamlined Account Creation
Remember when signing up felt like solving a puzzle? We fixed that. There’s now a “Create new account” button staring you right in the face on the welcome page.
Here’s the deal:
No Treasure Hunt:
The sign-up button is exactly where you'd expect it to be
Zero Friction:
Click once, start writing
Still Respectful:
Existing users keep their usual login path, curious newcomers can still poke around first
This saves you from the “where do I click to actually create an account” dance that nobody has time for.

So what does all this actually mean for your writing life?
Your Rules, Your Space:
Show widgets when you need them, hide them when they're just taking up real estate
Speed Boost:
The app feels snappier, especially when you're running lean with fewer widgets
Clean Slate:
Hide the clutter without losing access to features
Basically, fewer things between you and your story.
Why Modular Widgets Matter
Here’s the truth: writing projects are like snowflakes - no two are alike. Sometimes you’re building an intricate world with character arcs and location maps. Other times you just need to hammer out 2,000 words before your coffee gets cold.
The modular system gives you:
Deep Work Mode:
Eliminate everything except the blank page when inspiration strikes
Project-Specific Setup:
Toggle on character tracking for your novel, leave it off for your blog posts
Less Brain Clutter:
Fewer panels means fewer things competing for attention
Adaptability:
Your workspace changes with your needs, not the other way around
Whether you’re plotting a multi-generational saga or just trying to remember what your protagonist ate for breakfast, you now have a workspace that plays nice with your process.
Looking Forward
This modular approach is just the beginning. We’re cooking up more ways to make the app bend to your will - think custom layouts, specialized widgets, and workspace templates that remember your preferences.
Thanks for being part of this journey. Your feedback (and bug reports) are basically our North Star. We’ll keep polishing the tools so you can focus on the craft.
Get Started
Update to version 1.24 and reclaim your workspace. Whether you’re just starting your first chapter or finishing your twentieth book, these changes help you spend more time writing and less time wrestling with the app.
Your story is waiting.
