Scriptease — macOS

Write. Plan. Shoot.
No subscriptions.

Most productions run on five disconnected apps: one to write, one to break down, one to schedule, one to board, one to print call sheets. Scriptease is all of them, in one window, on your own machine — from FADE IN to the wrap report.

Scriptease screenwriting editor with a formatted screenplay page and scene outline
Version 3

The whole production, in one window.

Real screens from Scriptease V3 — a feature-length project with 234 scenes, a tagged breakdown, a costed budget and a five-day board.

Why it exists

Your script is not our business model.

Buy it once

$99.99, lifetime licence, updates included. Final Draft asks around $250. StudioBinder rents you a workflow by the month, forever.

It stays on your drive

Projects are plain files on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked — which is the only honest answer when the project is under NDA.

It works with the door shut

No internet, no account, no login screen between you and the page. The app opens on a plane, in a basement, on a location scout.

One window, not five

The breakdown knows the script. The board knows the breakdown. The call sheet knows the board. Change a scene and everything downstream already agrees.

What's inside

Five departments, one file.

Scriptease follows the production, not the software category.

01

Screenwriting

Industry-standard formatting that gets out of the way. Type, and the page looks like a script — sluglines, action, dialogue, transitions, all where they belong.

  • Auto-formatting, Fountain and FDX friendly
  • Focus mode for distraction-free writing
  • Scene numbering and revision tracking
  • Real-time page count estimation
02

Breakdown & tagging

Tag elements directly in the script and the reports write themselves. Cast, props, vehicles, VFX — every category the AD asks for, already counted.

  • Element tagging inside the script itself
  • Category management: cast, props, vehicles, VFX and more
  • Bulk export: highlighted script, breakdown sheets and element summaries in one PDF
03

Visual pre-production

Work out the coverage before the day costs money. Block the scene on a floor plan, board the shots, hang the look on a moodboard.

  • Shot Designer — camera angles and blocking on a 2D floor plan
  • Storyboards — shot-by-shot visual planning
  • Moodboards — look and feel, images and texture
  • Composition guides: rule of thirds, golden ratio, safe zones
04

Scheduling & logistics

Drag the strips until the days make sense. The board is built from your breakdown, so it already knows who and what each scene needs.

  • Magic Stripboard — drag-and-drop scene scheduling
  • Production calendar for high-level planning
  • Cast and crew management
  • Day breaks and banners
05

On-set tools

The part that goes out to the crew at 9pm the night before. One click, and the day is on paper.

  • Call sheets generated from the schedule
  • Shot lists you tick off as you film
  • Daily reports
