Offscreen is a screenwriting app for people who think in stories, not just pages. Write a film or a whole TV show on iPhone, iPad and Mac, and watch the world of your story build itself around the script. WRITE THE SCRIPT Type a screenplay as plain text in Fountain, the open screenplay format. Scene headings, cues, dialogue and parentheticals fall into place as you write, set in Courier Prime like the printed page. A keyboard bar puts INT., EXT., parentheticals and notes under your thumb, and Cue lists who's speaking, or adds someone new. FILMS AND TV SHOWS Start a film, or a TV show with series and episodes. Every episode is its own script, and they all share one world: the same characters and places, kept in step across every script. Rename a character and it changes in every episode. A WORLD THAT BUILDS ITSELF Anyone who speaks, and anywhere you set a scene, joins your story's world as you write. Give characters ages, histories and relationships; give places their own notes. Turn on Links and tap any name in the script to open its card. KNOW YOUR STORY Offscreen reads your script and works out the state of the story at every scene: • Who's in each scene, and who has met whom • What has been revealed so far • Dialogue balance across your characters • Each scene's status, synopsis and story day • Where page 10 falls, and how close you are to your page count A scene map down the side of the script shows every scene at a glance. Drag it to go anywhere. BRING YOUR SCRIPTS Open Final Draft (.fdx) scripts and they come in word for word, ready to keep writing. Bring in several at once to make a TV show. Fountain files open as they are. PRINT IT PROPERLY Export a PDF on A4 or US Letter, paginated to the standard screenplay layout, with an optional anonymous version for blind reads and competitions. Export to Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain or plain text whenever you need to. YOUR WORDS. YOUR FILES. • No AI. Nothing writes for you, suggests lines or reads your work. • No accounts and no tracking. • Your stories live in your own iCloud Drive, on every device you use, and work offline. • Every script is plain Fountain text you own, readable anywhere, forever. • Earlier versions are kept as you write, so nothing is ever lost. PAY ONCE Your first story is free, with every feature. Offscreen Unlimited is a single purchase for as many stories as you like, on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with Family Sharing. No subscription. Reading and exporting are always free. Comes with Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest to explore. Designed after the Swiss International Style: ink on paper, a grid and a single red.
