A Final Draft alternative for iPad and iPhone
Offscreen opens your Final Draft scripts word for word, keeps writing on iPad, iPhone and Mac, and sends them back as .fdx whenever someone asks for one.
Bring your .fdx scripts
Open a Final Draft file and it comes in as you wrote it: scene headings, action, character cues, parentheticals, dialogue, transitions, dual dialogue and the title page. Open several at once and they become a TV show, an episode each.
Send them back as .fdx
Export to Final Draft whenever a producer, a competition or a co-writer needs one, alongside PDF on A4 or US Letter, an anonymous PDF for blind reads, Fountain and plain text.
Made for the iPad and the phone
Offscreen is a native app on iPhone, iPad and Mac, with a keyboard bar for scene headings, cues and notes, and your stories in your own iCloud Drive, so you can pick up on any device and write offline.
One purchase, not a subscription
Your first story is free, with every feature. Offscreen Unlimited is a single purchase for as many stories as you like, on all three devices, with Family Sharing. At the time of writing, Final Draft’s own iPhone and iPad app is a separate subscription.
More than the page
Offscreen also keeps the story straight as you write: who’s in each scene, who has met whom, what’s been revealed, and a world of characters and places that builds itself from the script.
Free to start, with one story and every feature. See what Offscreen does.
