Free screenwriting software that knows what happens next.
Industry-standard formatting, real-time collaboration and AI script breakdowns, free forever. Write the scene, and the props, cast and locations in it are already tagged for the day you shoot it.
Free forever · No credit card · Import and export Final Draft and Fountain
Formatting you never think about
Scene heading, action, character, dialogue: Tab and Enter move between them the way you expect. Page count is measured from the real rendered page, so what you see is what prints.
Write together, live
Live cursors, inline comments and revision tracking on the free plan. No emailing DRAFT_v7_FINAL_actualfinal.fdx to your writing partner ever again.
Your script, your file
Import and export Final Draft and Fountain, plus PDF and DOCX. Nothing is locked in, and that is true on the free plan too.
The breakdown writes itself.
Every other screenwriting app stops at the page. Point the AI at a scene and it tags cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles, stunts and locations, then files them into a catalogue you can actually use. It never touches the creative call, nothing is applied without you, and you can switch AI off entirely.
Free is a real plan, not a countdown.
Most 'free' screenwriting tools are a trial with a timer, or a free tier that quietly withholds export. Ours is neither. One project, the full editor, AI breakdowns, index cards, storyboards, shot lists and the planning board, for as long as you like.
No credit card, ever
Not at signup, not later, not until you choose to upgrade. There is no card on file to forget about and no renewal to cancel.
Not a watermark trap
Export a clean PDF, Final Draft or Fountain file from the free plan. Your work leaves the way it came in.
Upgrade only when you shoot
Scheduling, budgets and call sheets come with Indie at £10/mo billed annually. Until you have a shoot date, you have no reason to pay us anything.
Quick answers
Is it really free?
Yes. One project with the full script editor, AI breakdowns, index cards, storyboards, shot lists and the planning board, free forever with no credit card. Paid plans add scheduling, budgets, call sheets and the on-set tools, and only when you actually need them.
Does it export to Final Draft?
Yes. Import and export both Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain (.fountain), plus PDF and DOCX for sharing. Your script is never trapped: you can take it out in a standard format at any time, on the free plan included.
Does it format screenplays properly?
Yes. Industry-standard formatting is applied as you type: scene headings, action, character, parenthetical, dialogue and transitions, with Tab and Enter moving between them the way you expect. Pagination is measured from the real rendered page, so the page count matches what prints.
Can I write with someone else at the same time?
Yes, on the free plan. Real-time collaborative editing with live cursors, comments and revision tracking, so a writing partner or script editor can work in the same document without emailing drafts back and forth.
What happens when I'm ready to shoot?
Your script is already the production database. AI breakdowns tag cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles and locations scene by scene on the free plan. When you add scheduling on a paid plan, the stripboard and call sheets are built from that same data, so nothing is retyped.
Open on page one.
Free forever, no credit card. And when the script becomes a shoot, everything you wrote is already where the schedule needs it.
