I first discovered the Fountain syntax for writing screenplays, after listening to John August on one of his podcasts. I was searching all the available running apps that could understand the Fountain syntax. They all have a lot of functionality, when it comes to writing the screenplay. The thing that most are missing, is a good way to organize and outline. Logline is the best that I've seen, so far in terms of having an understandable system, for using the outline function of the Fountain screenwriting syntax, and visually represent a pretty similarly to notecards. The pop-up side menu allows you to drag and drop sections very easily. That's fantastic. And the way the display works they can highlight by changing the look of the font when you're doing the screenplay section which pops out from the rest of the notes that you've written. Easy to scan your document with your eyes to find the sections of your screenplay. Two things I would love to see in the upcoming version. First would be the ability to preview the various export options without having to actually create a PDF. It works fine, but sometimes I can't remember what levels of notes are going to be included out in A particular export layout, and I have to export them all before I can find the version that is most useful for me. The other would be the ability to print out the Script with notes in place It would be very useful in the development stage of the script when you want to look at your notes and print out a hard copy to write on the page (you know, the "Old Fashioned"way).Other than that, this is a great place to sit down and just get working on your story.

This app is unique in how it helps me 'flow' onwards when writing a script. The difference from other (great) apps, is that this one doesn't stir 'overthinking' because the app takes care of the structure. I'm looking forward to Logline 2!

I came to LogLine to support the fountain format, not because I thought it had something more to offer me than the other fine products in this space. After an evening of working with it, I feel that this early version of LogLine is pretty good but has some catching up to do to meet its main competition. The “coming soon” features announced here will make it definitely a contender. The outline sidebar could use a bit more refinement, but works great as a navigation tool for longer scripts. I’d like to see synopses added as an option for display.The real distinguishing feature of Logline over similar apps is the export of treatments, synopses, etc. THIS is the reason for plain text writing: the parsing. Being able to slice and dice the document and generate different “reports” on a screenplay is extremely valuable. I hope other apps start taking this approach as well.Thinking as a director and producer - it would be double-plus good if apps like this start to add refinements like character and location breakdowns. I know, I know - that's bloat. So how about this as a suggestion instead: Write a companion app that does the breakdowns and keep Logline a pure writing environment. Or don’t! I can see both sides.Anyway - I am here to say - the app is extremely capable already, and definitely worth its intro price of $30. Supporting developers who support creatives with awesome apps like this is something I just had to get behind. This is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of what promises to be a fantastic app. Consider your $30 as a cheap investment in an already powerful writing tool that will only get better if the dev is encouraged to keep going.

I've already downloaded the App onto my Mac. I'm anxious to learn how to use it, however, the tutorial and the
