Extends .fountain format functionality without messing with the fountain format. Super easy to use, formatting is automated, so you can just write. And cross platform (macOS, iOS, iPadOS)

What is Slugline?

The highest-rated screenwiting app on the Mac App Store comes to iOS!

Slugline is a minimal, distraction-free environment for the most important part of screenwriting—the writing part.

Slugline works with plain text. It automatically turns your writing into a properly formatted screenplay, without you ever needing to press the Tab key.

FEATURES

? Automatic formatting ? Sync files with iCloud and Dropbox, or work locally ? Works with iOS 11 Drag and Drop and the Files app ? Printed on paper or PDF, your screenplay is indistinguishable from one made with apps costing much more ? Helpful structure templates, including the famous beat sheet from Save the Cat!® ? Slugline’s famous Integrated outlining ? Notes, Scene Synopses, and Omitted text help keep you organized ? Includes Courier Prime, a beautiful typeface designed for screenplays

• THE POWER OF PLAIN Slugline uses the free and open Fountain screenplay format, which is nothing more than plain text.? You can work on your screenplay anywhere, using any writing app. When you open it in Slugline again, everything will be there, properly formatted.?

• INTEGRATED OUTLINING? Start with an outline, then seamlessly transition to writing scenes. Or jot down a placeholder for your third-act twist while you’re still crafting your opening pages. Slugline allows you to be as structured as you like, even if that means not at all.?

• WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU Slugline keeps getting better, and that's thanks to you! Slug us a line at http://slugline.co/contact with any questions or feedback you have, and follow us on Twitter at @SluglineApp.
