EpicDraft vs Typerite

EpicDraft is a screenwriting app for writing, formatting and organizing screenplays. It handles industry-standard Fountain, Final Draft and PDF formats, keeps scenes, characters and locations linked to the script, and works offline. Write anywhere. The same screenplay on your phone, your tablet, your computer, or in any web browser. Start a scene on the bus and finish it at your desk. Formatting that stays out of the way. Industry-standard screenplay formatting, applied as you type. Autocomplete for characters and locations, keyboard shortcuts for every element, and a distraction-free mode for when you want the page and nothing else. A Library beside the script. Your project's wiki: loglines, synopses, treatments, characters, locations, storyboards and scenes in the same place as the screenplay instead of in another app, each one linked to the pages it appears on. Character and location pages grow into full sheets with reference lookbooks, and storyboard panels anchor to the scenes they belong to. Import and export. Open Fountain, Final Draft and PDF files, including scanned PDFs through built-in OCR. Export and print watermark-free PDF and Final Draft files. Coverage, built in. When a draft is ready for notes, EpicDraft Pro lets you share a secure read-only link and collect script coverage: structured, page-by-page feedback from your readers, gathered into one dashboard. Readers open the script in their browser and review it free, without installing anything. Real-time collaboration, per-script roles and team chat keep a whole writers room on the same pages. A full AI toolkit, on your terms. EpicDraft Pro adds a writing assistant for chat, research, loglines and in-place rewrites that knows your whole story, plus image generation for storyboards and concept art. Turn it loose on the whole project for an autonomous coverage report or consistency check. It runs on local models by default, so your pages never leave your machine. Connect your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or xAI account only if you choose, and give the assistant extra tools by plugging in your own MCP servers. Your files, on your hardware. Screenplays are stored locally by default and are never mined or used to train AI models. Cloud sync is there when you want it and stays switched off until you turn it on, and Pro can keep your own devices in sync peer to peer, with no cloud in between. Free to use. The editor, unlimited screenplays, import and export, 29 interface languages and every platform are free, with no watermarks and no quotas. EpicDraft Pro adds the AI writing assistant and image generation, script coverage reports, device sync, real-time collaboration, team chat, file history with restorable checkpoints, and file encryption.

Have you noticed your first drafts getting worse? AI makes writing faster. It also makes your thinking lazier. Every sentence it completes, every paragraph it suggests — that's cognitive work you're no longer doing. Your thinking is a muscle. AI lets it atrophy. Skills decay without practice. The easiest way to write is to let something else think for you. The clearest way is to practice thinking yourself. Daily. Without shortcuts. This is the second way. — WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT Every word counts because you typed it. Not pasted. Not generated. We block Apple's AI writing tools. Your words stay yours. The practice is the product. No prompts to spark creativity. No analytics to gamify your output. No social features to perform for. Just you, the page, and the daily return to clear thinking. Privacy as default. Sign in with Apple for secure sync. No tracking, no one reading your thoughts. — HOW IT WORKS Start gentle or dive in. New writers begin at 200 words and build up: 7 days at 200, then 300, then 400, then 500. Or start at 500 if you're ready. Miss a day? Earn your way back. Miss 1-3 days, write 750 words per missed day to restore your rhythm. No purchases, no streak freezes. Just effort. Miss 4+ days? You get one grace, automatically. After that, a 4+ day gap resets you. The constraint matters. Write every day for a year? Next year is free. 365 consecutive days earns your subscription back. Steadiness, rewarded. — WHAT YOU GET - 30-day free practice period - Build-up program: 200 → 500 words - Restoration mechanic: Earn back missed days - One-time grace: First 4+ day gap forgiven - 365-day reward: Full year earns next year free - Offline-first with Apple Handoff - Full data export anytime - End-to-end encrypted, Face ID lock - On iPhone, iPad, and Mac — WHO THIS IS FOR Writers who noticed their first drafts getting worse. People who used to think clearly and sense something changed. Anyone who suspects outsourcing thinking to AI is making them mentally softer. - Believe thinking clearly requires practice, not tools - Value discipline over convenience - See writing as cognitive training, not content creation - Understand that earned is different from given If you want prompts, analytics, or AI suggestions — there are dozens of apps for that. Typerite does less. On purpose. Welcome home. Terms of Service: https://typerite.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://typerite.app/privacy
