FountainForge

Your story comes first. The formatting can wait. FountainForge lets you write screenplays in plain text using Fountain’s simple screenplay conventions. Stay focused on the scene, the dialogue, and what happens next. When you’re ready, switch to a formatted screenplay preview to see your words take shape on the page. WRITE AT YOUR OWN PACE Draft, revise, and develop your screenplay without adjusting margins, fonts, or dialogue indents. Use Fountain shortcuts and the built-in reference to keep writing. SEE THE BIG PICTURE Navigate your acts and scenes, track scene progress, and keep character details and storyboard references close to your draft. KEEP YOUR WORK Imported scripts retain a protected original while you edit a separate working draft. Save named checkpoints to compare versions or return to an earlier draft. Export a manual library backup for recovery or transfer to another device. SHARE YOUR SCREENPLAY Export editable Fountain or plain-text files, create a formatted screenplay PDF, or use native printing. GET HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT Optional writing assistance can help you continue a scene, review structure, summarize material, or repair Fountain syntax. Review suggestions before choosing whether to apply them. Character portraits and storyboard image tools provide additional ways to explore your story. START WITH A PRACTICE SCENE An interactive tutorial introduces writing, previewing, and exporting using a separate sample you can keep or discard. Writing, previewing, importing, and exporting work without AI credentials. Apple AI features require eligible hardware and supported settings. Optional OpenAI and Gemini features require your own API keys and may incur separate provider charges. Consumer ChatGPT or Gemini subscriptions do not include API usage. Your library is stored locally. Backups are manual; automatic library sync between devices is not included. Write the story. See the screenplay when you’re ready.
