Screenwriter manual

What each thing is for, in plain language.

Write scene by scene

Your screenplay is divided into scenes. You write one, move on to the next, and you can reorder them by dragging when you change the edit.

The format sets itself

You do not have to fight with margins or capitals. As you write, professional screenplay format is applied automatically: scene headings, action, character, dialogue, parentheticals. You just tell the story.

Keyboard shortcuts

With one key you change the line type (from action to dialogue, from dialogue to parenthetical…) without taking your hands off the text or hunting for buttons. You write faster and without breaks.

Quick buttons

If you would rather not use shortcuts, you have buttons to add a dialogue, a parenthetical or carry on the scene with one click.

Your characters

One sheet per character, with photo and the relationships between them. It keeps them clear so they do not drift on you across the screenplay.

Reference board

A panel of images and notes per scene, to keep the atmosphere, the locations or the visual tone of each moment in view.

Two ways to see your screenplay

As a list of scenes, or as a board of cards. You pick whichever helps you see the whole.

Scene panel and statistics

At a glance you see the goal and the tension of each scene, and useful figures about the screenplay: pages, approximate running time, how many dialogues and parentheticals you have.

Help while you write

When you get stuck, you can ask for help with the scene. You are in charge; the help only proposes.

Idea space

A place to think through doubts about your screenplay without touching the text, like a notebook for rough drafts.

Your name in the credits

You put your name as author or screenwriter, and it appears in the screenplay.

Export

You turn your screenplay into a PDF to read or share, and into the industry standard format (compatible with Final Draft) to take it into production. You can also export the board as a PDF.
