Southwind Screenplay vs Constructure Screenplay Editor

Southwind is a screenplay editor that gets out of your way. Write the way the greats did — clean pages, Courier type, nothing between you and the story — while the app quietly handles the formatting. JUST WRITE Type INT. and it becomes a scene heading. Type a NAME IN CAPS and press Enter — it's a character cue, and the next line is dialogue. A "(" becomes a parenthetical. "CUT TO:" becomes a transition. You never stop to reach for a menu. GUIDED SCENE HEADINGS Start a slugline and Southwind offers the pieces: INT. / EXT. / I/E., then the locations you've already used in this script, then the time of day — DAY, NIGHT, DAWN, DUSK and more. It reads like it's holding your hand, not slowing you down. NINE ELEMENTS, ONE KEY Act, Scene Heading, Action, Character, Dialogue, Parenthetical, Transition, Shot, Text — switch with Tab or jump straight there. Proper margins, proper case, proper page breaks, automatically. A LIVING CAST & WORLD Every character and location is pulled from your script as you write — with line and scene counts, and day/night tallies. Give anyone a photo and a few notes: who they are, what they want, the contradictions underneath. Your story bible builds itself. YOURS, AND OFFLINE No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Your screenplay lives on your device and nowhere else. Southwind works with no connection at all. OPENS AND SAVES REAL FORMATS Import and export plain-text Fountain — the open screenwriting standard — so your work moves freely between tools. Or save the full .southwind file with your cast and world notes intact. Print or export a clean, industry-standard PDF with a title page. BUILT TO GROW Southwind is the first tool in RATE, a pipeline that carries a story from the page toward the screen. It starts here: the draft. Write like it's 1972. Let the machine keep the margins.

A screenplay editor for your phone, and a companion to Constructure Screenwriter on the Mac. WRITE ANYWHERE Start a new script on the phone, or open any .fountain file from Files. The editor knows the standard screenplay elements and formats them as you type, so a scene written on a train is formatted like the rest of your draft. Page count matches the Mac app page for page, because both run the same pagination. READ WITHOUT TOUCHING A switch makes the whole script read-only, so you can carry the draft around and read it without a stray tap changing a word. Sun Mode turns the page black on white for reading outdoors. SYNCS WITH YOUR MAC Open a script in Constructure Screenwriter on the Mac, tap the Sync button, and scan the code. The same script opens here. Edits merge in both directions while you type, not on save. When the two copies disagree, you are asked which to keep, and you can also merge both. Nothing is silently overwritten. NO ACCOUNT There is no sign-in. Scripts are joined by a Room ID that is random and private to you, and files you open from Files stay where they are. Syncing a script passes its text through and stores it on our relay server so both devices can reach it, which is described in full in our privacy policy. Free, with no in-app purchases.
