The 10,000-foot view of any screenplay PDF — diagnose what's working, what isn't, and what's missing. What that means is your call.
Open any screenplay PDF and Screenplay X-Ray gives you the 10,000-foot view — every character across every scene, every sequence, every location, all on one screen, letting you diagnose what's working, what isn't, and what's missing.
It doesn't grade your script or tell you what's wrong. It shows you what's there: where a character drops out, where you're stuck in one location too long, where the dialogue or action runs long. What that means is your call.
For anyone who writes screenplays — pros, consultants, and hobbyists.
WHAT YOU'LL SEE
• A grid of every character against every scene, color-coded for presence or dialogue
• Sequences you can name, color, and reshape by dragging
• Your longest action paragraphs and dialogue runs, ranked
• Locations grouped, so a too-long stretch in one room jumps right out
• Highlights and filters to isolate a single character, arc, or thread
HOW IT WORKS
1. Open any screenplay PDF — Final Draft, Highland, Fade In, and the rest all export standard PDFs
2. The app reads the structure: sluglines, character cues, dialogue, action
3. Explore the grid, shape your sequences, and save your views to compare across drafts
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your screenplay never leaves your Mac. No cloud, no account, no telemetry — the parser runs entirely on your device.
Screenplay X-Ray shows you what you've written. Whether it's any good is your call.
