Description

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
⋮ 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.

File management could be better

I noticed the app sometimes does not sync your changes to the original file, and instead creates a separate copy of it. This then causes multiple versions of the same script to pile up in the recents section, while I really just need to maintain one version of it.

Overall, the app is better than most I’ve seen for screenwriting on phone, just hope this one aspect can also be improved.

Crashing several times an hour

I enjoy the app’s simplicity and functionality. What I don’t enjoy is how the app crashes four to five times every hour. It autosaves frequently, so a crash only deletes the latest piece (either one chunk of dialogue or description) but it’s still annoying.

Perfect for screenwriting on an iPad

This app is simple and intuitive and perfect for screenwriting without any distractions. It's helped me pick up writing in Fountain quite quickly. I appreciate the few templates that come with it, too, more as an example of how to incorporate "hidden" text within your writing.
