Description

Highland 2 is a better way to write.

We’ve taken the tools we built for writing screenplays and made them work for almost every kind of document you write. From novels to blog posts and school reports, Highland’s clean design and innovative tools help you focus on words, not formatting.

With Highland 2.5, we’ve refined every bit of the app while adding incredible new features like Revision Mode and custom themes.

“Highland is just a cleaner, purer way to be creative.” — Phil Lord, Writer/Director of The Lego Movie, 21 & 22 Jump Street

“You won’t find a better app for getting your writing done than Highland 2.” — Jeffery Battersby, iMore

More Power. Less Distraction.

Highland handles formatting automatically, so you can spend your time finding the perfect word, not the right menu command.

You’ll love working in an editor designed for writing, not mimicking a printed page.

When you want to see the layout, quickly toggle between your text and a preview of the finished document.

With one click, Highland turns your words into a perfectly-formatted document ready to print or export.

Love it, simple, powerful, great value.

I think it’s amazing. For screenwriting you can write everything from a beat sheet, to an outline, to treatment, to script all in one document. It’s simple, powerful and keeps you focused. Clean interface but lots of well implimented features. About a quarter the price of some other software out there that does less. Also, it all works from one screen, you don’t hunt through menu’s and dialogue boxes. There’s a little learning curve from other screenwriting software but well worth it. I wasn’t sure I made the right choice when I bought as it is kind of different, but came to love it quickly.

The revision/notes/boneyard/bin features are incredible. It does feel like a writer made this for writers and understands how we work. Atleast me anyway.

Downside, hmmm, there’s a couple little things I think they’ll iron out in future versions. But they’re minor. Sometimes it creates extra lines when I re-order beats. As at current version 2.6.2.6286. I really only mention that because I don’t want to sound too unbiased.

Otherwise just great writing software.
