SceneForge helps you turn a story idea into a clear plan, one beat at a time. Whether youβre outlining a screenplay, a television episode, a short film, or a music video, SceneForge gives you a visual workspace to develop what happens nextβand why it matters. BUILD YOUR STORY IN BEATS Break your story into manageable moments. Capture who is involved, what happens, where it takes place, and the purpose behind each beat. Develop actions, setbacks, reactions, and outcomes as your story grows. SEE THE BIG PICTURE Arrange beat cards into the sequence that works for your story. Start with a blank project or use a story-structure template to guide your outline. BRING YOUR IDEAS INTO VIEW Add your own images or use optional image-generation tools to visualize a beat. Explore your images in Storyboard and play them as a timed sequence. KEEP YOUR WORK MOVING Export a Fountain outline to continue developing your story in a compatible writing app. Export and import portable story backups, including beat images, and optionally sync stories between your Apple devices with iCloud Drive. PLAN WHEREVER INSPIRATION FINDS YOU Work across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with an adaptive workspace for iPhone Duo. SceneForge is a story-planning and outlining tool, not a full screenplay editor. Core planning features work without AI. Apple Intelligence and Image Playground require supported devices and software. Optional OpenAI and Gemini image generation requires your own API key; provider charges may apply. Start free with one complete story. Unlock unlimited stories with a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription required.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: SceneForge at every 3 days against QuickMark's weekly. QuickMark's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
