Framedraft — The Complete Comic & Graphic Novel Writing Studio Every great comic starts with a story worth telling. Framedraft brings outlining, scripting, character development, and world-building together in one beautifully designed app, so you can focus on the craft instead of juggling scattered notes, documents, and spreadsheets. PLAN YOUR STORY VISUALLY Framedraft's corkboard view lets you lay out scenes, chapters, and acts as movable cards, so you can see your entire story arc at a glance. Group beats into acts, drag and drop to restructure on the fly, and use the built-in pacing checker to spot slow stretches or rushed sequences before you write a single panel. WRITE IN A FORMAT MADE FOR COMICS The script editor understands the rhythm of visual storytelling, with dedicated formatting for panel descriptions, character dialogue, captions, and SFX. Switch seamlessly between a clean script view and a classic page layout that mirrors how your final pages will read. Focus Mode strips away distractions when it's time to write. BUILD A LIVING WORLD BIBLE Framedraft gives every character a detailed sheet — complete with a portrait, personality traits, relationships, and backstory — organized into groups for easy reference. Locations, lore, factions, and invented terminology live in a searchable World Bible that automatically links back to your script. FIND ANYTHING, INSTANTLY Search across your entire project — outline, script, characters, and world bible — and jump straight to the result. STAY IN SYNC, EVERYWHERE Your projects, artwork references, and character portraits sync automatically through iCloud, so your work is always up to date on iPhone and iPad, with adaptive layouts, split-screen editing, and full keyboard shortcut support. EXPORT PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTS Framedraft generates clean, industry-ready PDFs of your script, character sheets, and world bible — reference images included. Import and export Fountain files for compatibility with other writing tools, or package an entire project to hand off or back up. DESIGNED FOR YOUR CREATIVE FLOW Snapshots let you save versions of your script as you revise. Sticky notes and inline comments make it easy to leave reminders or collaborate. A built-in thesaurus keeps your writing sharp, and writing session tracking shows your progress over time. WHO FRAMEDRAFT IS FOR Whether you're an aspiring creator drafting your first mini-comic, a working writer managing a multi-issue series, or a small studio coordinating scripts across a team, Framedraft adapts to your process.
