Inkwell Reader is a clean, fast script reader for iPhone and iPad — built for writers, actors, directors, and crew who'd rather read their script on the device in their hand than print 120 pages. Open .ink projects from Inkwell, plus Fountain and PDF scripts from anywhere. Pages are laid out the way screenplays are meant to be read: correct margins, dual-dialogue side-by-side, scene numbers in the margin, properly placed (MORE) and (CONT'D) markers. Pinch to size, scroll smoothly, scrub through scenes with the outline drawer. KEY FEATURES · A real script reader, not a PDF viewer. Industry-standard layout for Fountain and .ink documents. PDFs open in a fast, tappable PDFKit viewer. · Scene outline drawer with one-tap jump to any heading. · Full-text search across the entire screenplay. · Files.app integration — open documents in place, no copy required. · Themes: paper, sepia, focus, midnight. Adjustable type size. · Works fully offline. Scripts live on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you sign in to chat with Quill. QUILL (OPTIONAL) Sign in to your Inkwell account and Quill — the Inkwell screenplay assistant — rides along. Discuss characters, structure, themes, and pacing right next to the script you're reading. Read-only on iOS: Quill won't edit your script. The full agentic editor lives on macOS at inkwell.app/download. Sign in with Apple, Google, or a one-tap email link. No password to remember. REQUIREMENTS Free to download and read. Quill chat requires an Inkwell account, free to create at inkwell.app. PRIVACY Inkwell Reader does not track you across other companies' apps and sites. Anonymous product analytics are opt-in. Quill conversations are sent only to Inkwell's backend so the model can reply. Full details: https://inkwell.app/privacy
