INT. ANYWHERE — WHENEVER

Screenwriting that fits in a pocket.

Scenarist formats your screenplay to industry standard as you type — scene headings, action, dialogue, parentheticals, transitions — on the phone you already carry. On iPad and Mac, the outline and your scripts sit beside the page. Free to start, no account, no ads.

Shot

Pocket draft, desk rewrite

Write the scene on the train and tighten it at the desk. With iCloud on, the same scripts are on your iPhone, your iPad and your Mac, and nothing passes through a server of ours.

iPad

iPhone

Scene heading

Free, with the whole editor

Three scripts, every tool

Up to three scripts at a time, with nothing in the editor held back. Pro lifts the cap.

Elements land in the right place without you thinking about margins.

Autocomplete

Scene headings and character names fill themselves from what you have written.

Dual dialogue

Two characters at once, side by side in the editor and on the printed page.

Voice dictation

Say “interior coffee shop day”, get INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY. In English, recognised on your device where it can be, otherwise by Apple. Full hands-free dictation is in Pro.

Hear a scene back in a narrator voice before anyone else reads it.

Import and export

Open Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain files. Export print-ready PDFs, or Fountain plain text that opens anywhere.

Unlimited scripts

Every draft, episode and spec scene you can write, all in one place.

Smart Keys

Keys above the keyboard that follow your line: INT./EXT., your locations and DAY/NIGHT on a heading; your cast, (V.O.) and (CONT’D) on a character.

Voice to Script

Say “character”, “dialogue”, “cut to” — and the page formats itself while you talk. Fully hands-free, in English.

Final Draft export

Real .fdx for development and production workflows.
