About PageFour
In December 2017 we released PageFour as free software. We did this because it is no longer under development and no new versions will be released. It’s now available as-is for anyone to download, install and use at no cost. You do not need a license key. All you need to do is download the software by clicking the button below, and run the installation program. PageFour is Windows software and will run on most Windows operating systems. Organize your work in a way that suits you. Place your character summaries and plot outlines wherever you wish. Chapters and notes are all at your fingertips. PageFour's powerful Search tool helps you quickly find that paragraph you wrote last week. No more Windows Search, or frantically opening document after document. Password protects those sensitive pages or chapters. Spell-checker dictionaries are available in many languages, including German, French, Spanish, etc.
