Offhand Typewriter vs The Script Tool

Every time you open Offhand, a blank page is waiting. Write down a moment. Compose your work. Be your first reader. Here, words become Moments. Each one begins on its own, then finds its place. Move them. Reorder them. Return to them. As you keep writing, Moments grow into pages, chapters, acts, and stories. You compose with your words, and Offhand stays out of the way. Writing begins with the relationship between you and your words. Your words stay yours Everything stays on your device. Export a full backup anytime, in a single tap. Import and export Markdown, Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain, so you can bring in work you've already started and keep going.

The Script Tool app is for writers who already use The Script Tool. Sign in with the same email and password you use on the website. There is no sign-up in the app. Your whole library, in your pocket: • Read and edit your screenplays in proper screenplay format — scene headings, action, character, dialogue, parentheticals and transitions. • Checks: spelling, punctuation, format and character-name consistency, flagged right in the script. • Reports: pages, scenes, speaking parts, dialogue share, and breakdowns by character and location. • Collaboration: see notes from the people you've invited, and share a read-only link you can revoke at any time. • Home-screen widget: the status of your latest review and the size of your library, at a glance. • Face ID and Touch ID: the app locks itself whenever you leave it, so an unpublished script is never left open. • Notifications: when a review finishes, a collaborator leaves a note, or accepts an invitation — each one switchable. Import Final Draft (.fdx) and Fountain files and download them back any time; your original file is kept byte for byte. Optional AI features run on your own Anthropic API key. Everything else works without one.
