Forget Final Draft

Slugline is amazing. For its small price compared to some other apps, Slugline does the job exceedingly well. The auto-formatting features work as they should, and there are lots of settings to make Slugline your own. (I also love the edition of the 👁️ button. Great touch.) Honestly, I don’t know why I didn’t use this sooner, because it’s the best app I’ve ever used. If you’re thinking of purchasing software like Fade In or Final Draft, think again. I have been writing on my iPad and it works amazing. I have read some reviews saying it crashes a lot, but it doesn’t for me. Great value for money. Would recommend.

This *was* the best screenwriting

Why couldn’t you guys just kept it the way it was before with all the updates? Now it’s just a buggy mess overload.

App is near worthless

I read the negative reviews from 5 to 7 years ago and just assumed that the bugs and crashes were fixed. To my dismay, they were not. In my first script, a good chunk of my outline disappeared. Then lines of my script began to disappear. This makes the app near worthless for writing.

FAQ

What is Slugline?

Slugline is a screenwriting application designed to provide a minimal, distraction-free environment for writing movie scripts. It automatically formats your plain text into a properly formatted screenplay without requiring manual tab presses. It also offers features like integrated outlining and structure templates.

How does the automatic formatting work?

The app uses the free and open Fountain screenplay format, which is based on plain text. As you write, Slugline intelligently interprets your text and applies standard screenplay formatting, such as scene headings, character names, and dialogue, ensuring your script looks professional.

What are the pricing and compatibility options?

This application is a paid app, with its price reflecting its professional features. It is available for iOS devices, allowing you to write your movie on the go. Specific iOS version compatibility can typically be found on the app store listing.

Can I sync my work across devices?

Yes, Slugline supports syncing your screenplay files with cloud services like iCloud and Dropbox. This allows you to seamlessly transition between writing on your iOS device and other platforms, or simply keep your work backed up and accessible.

What are the benefits of using plain text for screenwriting?

Using plain text with the Fountain format means your screenplay is highly portable and future-proof. You can open and edit your script in any text editor on any device, and Slugline will always render it correctly. This flexibility ensures your work is not locked into a proprietary format.
