Screenplay Studio is a focused writing studio for iPhone and iPad, designed to keep you fast, clean, and in flow. Beyond film and TV screenplays, it includes format-friendly modes for different types of writing: Standup, Commercial, Podcast, and Theatre. Pick the mode that matches your project and write with a structure that feels stage-ready and easy to follow. The distraction-free interface helps you stay locked in on the words, not the tools. Save your project’s title and cover details, generate a professional-looking cover page, and turn your text into a shareable output in a few taps. With PDF export, you can quickly send your script or manuscript to producers, performers, collaborators, or friends for feedback. Full iPad support makes writing, reading, and revising far more comfortable on a larger screen. Screenplay Studio is ideal for screenwriters, comedians, podcasters, theatre writers, and creators who want speed, simplicity, and a smooth writing experience.
