Screenplay editor · notes · readers

Write it. Get it read. Argue back.

A screenwriting app built around the part that actually makes a draft better — the notes. Share a script the way you’d share a doc, and put a room of readers on it who each look for something different. None of them write a word of it.

No account needed to write. Import a PDF, a Final Draft file, or paste from anywhere.

Fluorescent light. A desk built for two people who will never like each other.
DELIA
It says here you want to borrow four hundred thousand dollars.
RUBEN
It does say that.
DELIA
Against a food truck.
RUBEN
Against a fleet.
DELIA
You have one truck.
RUBEN
I have one truck now.
The door opens. MARGUERITE, sharp as a filing cabinet, does not knock.
MARGUERITE
Delia. You're with a food truck.
RUBEN
It's a fleet. There's one of them so far. That's how fleets start.

Notes

Comments that survive the rewrite.

Every other tool anchors a note to a character range. Rewrite the line and the note orphans — which is exactly backwards, because a rewrite is the moment you most want to re-read the note.

01

Notes follow the line

A comment is anchored to the line’s identity, not its position or its text. Move it, rewrite it, re-import the whole script from Final Draft — the note stays attached.

02

And tell you when it moved

Rewrite a line and its notes are marked stale, showing what the line said when the note was written. You decide whether the rewrite answered it.

03

One writer, everyone else reads

You hold the pen. Collaborators comment and propose edits you accept or reject line by line. No fighting over a cursor, no version called FINAL_v7_JB.

The room

A note is only useful if you know which chair it came from.

“This is slow” is noise. “The exec stops caring on page 4 because nothing has been asked of your lead yet” is something you can act on. So you pick who reads — and each one is looking for something different, and ignoring the rest.

early

The Showrunner

Runs a room. Cares whether this engine produces more episodes.

submission

The Studio Executive

Reads forty pages before lunch. Stops reading when interest stops.

draft

The Script Doctor

Structure first. Finds the load-bearing wall you removed.

polish

The Actor

Has to say these words out loud, in front of people.

draft

The Festival Programmer

Has seen nine hundred of these. Wants to know why this one.

submission

The Line Producer

Reads the script as a budget and a schedule.

draft

The Skeptical Reader

Not on your side. Not against you. Just unconvinced.

Send a finding to the margin

A reader’s note lands on the line it quotes, in the same thread as everyone else’s. Reply to it and it replies back — it will defend the note, or concede it. Argue with the note; the page stays yours.

Then ask where they disagree

Put three readers on the same pages and the useful output isn’t what they agree on — it’s the scene the exec wants cut and the programmer says is the only reason to make it. That’s a real choice, and it stays yours to make.

Your words. Never words for you.

No generation, no autocomplete, no rewrite button, no “punch this up.” The readers describe what’s on your page and ask you the question it raises. This isn’t a marketing position — it’s enforced in the schemas every assist feature returns, and there is no field in them where a line of your script could come back written by a machine.

A study of 23 working screenwriters put satisfaction with AI-written dialogue at zero percent. We think they’re right.

Also in the box

The editor first. It has to earn the rest.

A real editor

Enter and Tab do what they do in Final Draft. Auto-formatting, character autocomplete, live page count and runtime, scene navigator.

Import that survives

PDF, Final Draft, Fountain, or paste from Word. Layout-aware, and it shows you what it was unsure about instead of guessing quietly.

Hear it performed

Press play on any scene. Every character gets a distinct voice. Free, in your browser, and the easiest thing to send someone.

Export anywhere

PDF at industry margins, .fdx, Fountain, plain text. Leaving is easy on purpose — that’s what makes arriving safe.

Scriptroom, per writer

Readers and commenters are free, forever. You pay for the person holding the pen.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Will it write for me?

No. Not a line, not a beat. The readers can argue with you in the margin all day — that’s brainstorming, and it’s what a collaborator does. What none of them can do is put words on your page.

Is my script used to train anything?

No. Drafts live in your browser until you sign in, and nothing is retained for training. Full detail on the security page before launch.

Do my collaborators need to pay?

No. Commenting is free forever and always will be — you pay per writer, not per reader. Invite as many people as you like.

Do I have to move off my current editor?

No, and most people shouldn’t at first. Import a scene, get it read, export it back. People move over when they want to, not because the export is broken.

How good are the voices?

The free tier uses your browser’s own — genuinely useful for rhythm and length, obviously synthetic in timbre. Paid tiers add performance-grade voices for the reads you send to someone else.

Open it with a scene already in it.

No signup. Write a line, press play, send a reader in. Decide in five minutes whether this is useful to you.
