WHAT'S IN THE BOX

Everything you need to finish a script.
Nothing you don't.

  1. 01

    Focus mode

    One keystroke fades the chrome. The page is all that's left.

  2. 02

    Screenplay formatting

    Scene headings, action, character, dialogue, parenthetical, transitions auto-detected as you type. Pages count themselves.

  3. 03

    Real-time collaboration

    Live multi-cursor editing. Email invitations, per-project members, password-protected share links.

  4. 04

    automated shot lists PRO

    Hand your finished script to the model, get a per-scene shot breakdown back. Edit it, export to PDF or CSV.

  5. 05

    Visual scene arc

    A drag-and-drop graph of your story, plus a character database with biographies. For the days you're staring at the wall.

  6. 06

    Read aloud

    Hear your dialogue the way it was meant to be heard: nine voices read your scenes aloud in a Table Read, so every clunky line reveals itself before it hits the page for real.

  7. 07

    Share

    One beautifully formatted link. Share it once, anywhere. No more exporting PDFs every time something changes.

  8. 08
