Scripty for Mac · Now on the Mac App Store

The script supervisor's log,
on the laptop beside the monitor.

Scripty for Mac is the same Scripty as on iPhone and iPad, rebuilt as a native Mac app and made to be driven from the keyboard. Log every take, line the script with the mouse, and cut the day's reports at wrap. Photos and scanned pages are still taken on the iPhone and arrive on the Mac by themselves.

Free to start First production free, on the Mac too · Unlimited from $49.99 once · no subscription · macOS 15 Sequoia or later

Scripty for Mac is the same App Store listing as Scripty for iPhone and iPad, with the Mac added. Download it from the Mac App Store. New to the role? Read what a script supervisor does, what a lined script is, or how the daily progress report works.

Scripty for Mac: a big slate with the take circled in amber, the take list and a live tally of the day along the bottom
Log the whole day from the keyboard. The slate, the marks and the take log in one window
Keyboard first

A shortcut for every move on set.

Scripty for Mac is built for the script supervisor who logs the day on a laptop. Nothing on the slate needs the mouse.

A key for every take and mark

⌘↩ starts a new take and ⌘R rolls and cuts. ⌘1 to ⌘6 set the marks: circled, good, no good, tech, hold and incomplete. ⌘L adds a note.

Flags and moves

⌃M, ⌃P, ⌃S and ⌃W flag MOS, pickup, series and wild track. ⌥⌘ arrows move between setups and scenes, and ⌘G goes to a scene.

Works on non-US keyboards

The shortcuts avoid keys that need AltGr, so they work on the keyboard layout you actually have.

A big slate

Scene, setup and take, with the take circled by hand in amber. Rolls show on the slate, and a missing roll is flagged.

Correct an earlier take

Pick it in the take list and marks and notes go to it. Take numbers can be corrected to match the slate.

Undo that never stops a take

Multi-level Undo and Redo. Undo never stops a rolling take.

Every move on set has a key. A shortcut for every take, mark and flag. The full list is always one key away, with ⌘/.

Find any take in seconds. Find any take across the whole production: “circled on B”, a roll, a clip, or a word from a note.

A live tally of the day runs along the bottom of the log: setups, takes, circled, pages, timed length, call time and first take.

Send to Mac

Shoot it on the iPhone. It's already on the take.

The headline feature of Scripty 4.1: continuity photos and scanned pages go from the iPhone to the take that is open on the Mac.

Your private iCloud, not our servers

It travels through your own private iCloud and is deleted from iCloud once the Mac has it. Nothing passes through EgeTech's servers.

Needs Scripty 4.1 on both

Send to Mac needs Scripty 4.1 on the iPhone or iPad as well as on the Mac.

Free

Send to Mac itself is free. No purchase is needed to use it.

This is not library sync. Send to Mac moves photos and scanned pages to the Mac; a backup moves a whole library (see below).

The script

Line it with the mouse.

The paper part of the job, on a bigger page.

Setup lines

On-camera setup lines are straight, off-camera stretches are wavy, and circled takes go at the foot.

Slate and stopwatch stay in view

The slate and the running stopwatch stay on screen while you line.

Zoom, and a Night Page

Zoom the page, or switch to a Night Page: a dark page with light text for a dark set.

Reports

Wrap with tonight's paperwork done.

Every report is cut to one shooting day. Print any of them, or save them.

Open a Final Draft (FDX), Fountain or PDF script, or photos, from Finder, AirDrop or by dragging them onto the window.

Restore a backup

Restore a backup made on the iPhone or iPad from iCloud Drive and carry on with the same productions. The Mac also makes an automatic backup on wrap, and before a production is deleted.

Shooting Day

Call, meals, scheduled scenes, timecode sync and Wrap.

Rolls & Cameras

Cameras A to D and their formats. Cameras B to D come with Scripty Unlimited, as on iPhone.

A sample production

Try the whole app on a sample production before you log your own.

A real Mac app

Offline, private, one purchase

No account. No subscription. Nothing sent to us.

Works with no signal

Logging, photos, search and every report run offline, because the stage with no bars is where the log gets written.

No account, no telemetry

Nothing is sent to EgeTech. The only thing that leaves the Mac is what you choose to export or send, through your own iCloud.

Pay once

Your first production is free, on the Mac too. The paid tier is Scripty Unlimited, a one-time purchase: $49.99 on the Mac, or $24.99 if you already own it on iPhone or iPad. No subscription.

Compared

Where it sits next to ScriptE and Scriptation.

Disclosure: we make Scripty. This is a short, general comparison. For platforms and price models side by side, read script supervisor apps compared.

ScriptE

The long-standing Mac script supervisor tool, sold by subscription.

Scriptation

PDF annotation, sold by subscription. Its iOS subscription includes the Mac.

Scripty

One purchase, no subscription. Works offline. Logging and lining in one app. Photos from the iPhone landing on the take.

Questions

Before it ships.

When is Scripty for Mac available?

It is available now on the Mac App Store, as part of the same listing as Scripty for iPhone and iPad.

Is this the same app as Scripty on iPhone and iPad?

Yes. It is the same Scripty, rebuilt for the Mac in SwiftUI rather than an iPad app running on the Mac. It is one App Store listing with the Mac added, and you download it from the Mac App Store.

What does it need?

macOS 15 Sequoia or later. To use Send to Mac you also need Scripty 4.1 on your iPhone or iPad.

Does it sync with my iPhone?

No. The Mac and iPhone do not sync libraries. Send to Mac moves continuity photos and scanned pages onto the take open on the Mac, and a backup moves a whole library, restored from iCloud Drive.

What will it cost?

Your first production is free, on the Mac too, and there is no subscription. Scripty Unlimited for Mac is $49.99, a one-time purchase, or $24.99 if you already own Scripty Unlimited on iPhone or iPad (the app offers it automatically). Scripty Unlimited on iPhone and iPad stays $24.99. The two are bought separately: the iPhone purchase does not unlock the Mac. Prices are in US dollars; other countries see Apple's local price. No subscription.

Does it work with no signal?

Yes. It works with no signal, and has no account.

Can my editor use what it makes?

Yes. The Editor's Log is a CSV that opens anywhere, and the ALE is for Avid Media Composer.

Log on the Mac, iPhone or iPad.

Scripty is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and now on the Mac App Store. Scripty 4.1 is out on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
