Screenwriting software with an AI co-writer.
A real script surface: sluglines, character cues, and dialogue format themselves as you type — Courier, industry positions, live page count. The AI writes in valid screenplay format, a whole-script memory keeps your story consistent, and your script exports as a submission-format PDF, industry-standard .fdx, or Fountain.
The format handles itself. You write.
Live industry formatting
Type INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY and it becomes a
slugline. Cues center, dialogue narrows, parentheticals tuck
in, CUT TO: right-aligns — reclassified on every
keystroke, in proper Courier.
The Tab reflexes you already have
Tab on an empty line starts a slugline. Tab on a name uppercases it into a character cue — with (CONT'D) added when the same character keeps talking. Names autocomplete from your cast, locations and times from your own sluglines.
A real page count
Pages are measured the industry way — Courier 12, 54 lines, standard element columns — so "≈92 pages" means what a reader will hold. One page ≈ one minute of screen time.
AI that writes screenplay, not prose
Continue, Rewrite, Expand, and Shorten answer in valid screenplay format — action, cues, dialogue — held to your story's canon, in your voice.
Whole-script continuity
The Manuscript Brain remembers characters, facts, and timeline across all three acts and audits the script as it grows — the feature no other screenwriting tool has.
A Beat Board that writes itself
Every other screenwriting app makes you type your own index cards. Our Story Board reads the script and writes them — one card per scene, under its slugline — and maps your story beats to where they actually land, naming the ones not yet on the page.
Submission-ready export
Submission-format PDF (US Letter, Courier 12, industry margins, title page, (MORE)/(CONT'D) at dialogue page breaks — plus a production version with numbered scenes), industry-standard .fdx with scene numbers carried, opening in every professional screenwriting app — and .fountain, the universal interchange.
Table-read colors & script stats
Tint every character's dialogue with their own color for read-throughs, and open Script stats for speaking time per character, locations, dialogue/action balance, and scene lengths in eighths — the production unit.
Starters in the great traditions
Film noir, thriller cold open, horror teaser, rom-com meet-cute — original opening scenes written in proper format (never excerpts), each with its tradition's act-and-beat structure ready to write into.
Built for the writing.
Live industry formatting, AI drafting in valid script format, and whole-script continuity auditing — capabilities no traditional screenwriting app has — from $29/month with a 7-day free trial. And nothing about your script is ever locked in: it exports as clean, industry-standard .fdx and .fountain, so it travels anywhere a production needs it to go.
Questions, answered.
Does WriteAlong format screenplays automatically?
Yes. Screenplay mode is a live script surface: sluglines go bold caps, character cues center, dialogue narrows under its cue, parentheticals tuck in, transitions right-align — reclassified on every keystroke. Under the hood your script is stored as Fountain, the industry's plain-text format, so your text is never locked in.
Can I use my script in other screenwriting apps?
Yes — one click exports industry-standard .fdx, which opens directly in every professional screenwriting app, plus .fountain for everything else. You can also export a submission-format PDF with industry margins, page numbers, and a title page.
Does the AI write in screenplay format?
Yes. Continue, Rewrite, Expand, and Shorten know they're in a script and answer in valid screenplay format — held to your story's canon by the Manuscript Brain.
Can I write a complete spec script in WriteAlong?
Yes — live formatting, a real page count, AI drafting, continuity auditing, and submission-format export from $29/month. And because it exports industry-standard .fdx and .fountain, your script travels anywhere a production needs.
Is WriteAlong a Final Draft alternative?
Yes. WriteAlong covers the whole job of writing a script — live industry formatting as you type, a real page count, character autocomplete with (CONT'D) conventions, a Story Board that writes its own scene cards, AI drafting held to your story's canon, and whole-script continuity auditing — capabilities traditional screenwriting software doesn't have. Your script exports as a submission-format PDF, industry-standard .fdx, and Fountain, so it opens anywhere. And moving an existing script in is as simple as pasting it: the formatting reclassifies automatically.
Your screenplay is waiting.
