Made for storytellers, from "cinephiles to screenwriters."

Write without the hassle.
Format without leaving flow.

One slash command formats the line so you never have to stop typing to fix it. Opending handles the screenplay formatting so you can focus on the story.

INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT

RIA sits alone, laptop open, cursor blinking. A half-finished script stares back.

Ria

Okay. Just one scene. That's all I need today.

/scene → Tab to format

Let's be honest

You didn't stop because you ran out of story.

Most people who want to write a script don't quit because the idea wasn't good enough. They quit because the software felt like homework: margins, tabs, menus, a learning curve before you've even written "FADE IN." Opending skips all of that, so the only thing standing between you and page one is you.

How it works

Three habits. One finished script.

01

Open and just start typing

No setup screen, no template picker. Opending opens straight into a blank page, ready for your first scene.

02

Type “/”, let the format follow

Slash commands like /scene or /character format the line for you. Press Tab and keep writing on the same line, Notion-style.

03

Save, export, and move on with your day

Keep it on your device, or export to PDF, Word, or Fountain whenever you're ready to share.

Who this is for

Wherever your story starts, we meet you there.

First-time screenwriters

You've got a film or series idea and zero interest in learning industry software first. Start writing scene one today.

Content creators & YouTubers

Scripting videos, sketches, or shorts shouldn't need a production suite. Draft fast, format clean, ship it.

Production houses & small teams

Manage scripts together and share drafts with directors and producers, without expensive industry software.

How it feels to write

Typing a script feels like writing in Notion, not operating production software.

Slash commands and shortcuts keep your hands on the keyboard and your head in the story — no need to break flow to fix formatting.

Your file lives on your device — no account needed, no lock-in.

Ready to grow with you

When you're ready, turn on cloud sync or export straight to production formats — upgrade only if you need it.

We're not trying to sound like software.
