About

Constructure Screenplay Editor

Features
Read full description

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.
