FADE IN:

INT. CRAMPED APARTMENT - NIGHT

Rain streaks the window. A desk lamp throws a warm pool of light across a laptop. The page on the screen is blank.

MAYA (20s, film student, three coffees deep) cracks her knuckles.

MAYA

(to herself)

Okay. Page one.

She types. Every line lands exactly where it should. Scene headings. Dialogue. Margins.

MAYA (CONT'D)

Huh. That was easy.

Outside, the rain stops.

CUT TO:

INT. STUDIO DRAFT - DAY

Professional screenwriting.
Nothing locked away.

Studio Draft takes a story from first idea to shooting script without leaving the app. Outline with cards and beats, write in industry-standard format, track every revision, and hand production a script that's ready for locked pages and breakdowns.

  • Free. Every feature.

    No trials, watermarks, ads or paid tiers. The full app, for everyone.

  • Your script is yours

    Scripts save in an open, documented .studiodraft format you can read outside the app.

  • Offline first

    Everything works without internet. No account or telemetry needed to write.

  • Industry-standard pages

    Matches the industry standard page for page, then outperforms it. Opens and saves FDX files, in Letter or A4.

  • Fast at feature length

    A 150-page script with full revision history opens, scrolls and types instantly.

  • Never lose work

    Atomic saves, autosave from the first keystroke, automatic backups and crash recovery.
