Slugline vs Script Pilot

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!

Script Pilot formats the page while you type, so a screenplay looks like a screenplay from the first line and you never touch a margin again. FORMATTING ON AUTOPILOT Type INT. and the line becomes a scene heading. Type a name in caps and it becomes a character cue; press return and you are in dialogue. Tab cycles all eight elements, and the app handles every indent, every margin, every convention a reader expects. TRUE PAGES Real 8.5 x 11 sheets on screen, numbered and broken exactly the way your PDF breaks: Courier 12pt, industry margins, 55 lines to the page. Page 26 on your phone is page 26 in the export. One paginator runs the screen, the page count on your shelf, and the PDF, so nothing can quietly disagree. FLIGHT MODE Pick a destination -- one page, three, five -- and take off. Everything behind you locks until you land on the page count. No edits, no undo, no scrolling back to fix a line. It is the fastest way through a first draft, and the report at the end tells you how far you actually flew. THE BEATMAP A visual board for your structure, built into every script. Drag beat cards, wire them together, or start from Three-Act, Save the Cat, or the Hero's Journey. Beat sheets are documents of their own too, if you would rather work the structure before the pages. THE DEV BOARD Photograph the whiteboard, the napkin, the handwritten page. The Dev Board keeps the real-world material an idea came from, with dates the app stamps itself, so a script carries the record of where it started. AN ASSISTANT YOU POINT AT THINGS The writing assistant only works on the part of the script you aim it at, and it proposes -- you accept or reject every change. It never rewrites your draft behind your back. OUTLINES, TREATMENTS, NOTES Not everything is a screenplay. Outlines, treatments and notes live on the same shelf, in the same account, with the same sync. YOUR SHELF, EVERYWHERE The phone and scriptpilot.film are one account. Start a scene on a laptop, finish it on a train. Every keystroke syncs, and pulling down on any screen forces a refresh when you want to be certain. FREE DURING EARLY ACCESS Every feature, unlimited scripts, no purchases inside the app. You can delete your account, and everything in it, from inside the app at any time.
