Description
The highest-rated screenwiting app on the Mac App Store comes to iOS!
Slugline is a minimal, distraction-free environment for the most important part of screenwriting—the writing part.
Slugline works with plain text. It automatically turns your writing into a properly formatted screenplay, without you ever needing to press the Tab key.
FEATURES
⋮ Automatic formatting
⋮ Sync files with iCloud and Dropbox, or work locally
⋮ Printed on paper or PDF, your screenplay is indistinguishable from one made with apps costing much more
⋮ Helpful structure templates, including the famous beat sheet from Save the Cat!®
⋮ Slugline’s famous Integrated outlining
⋮ Notes, Scene Synopses, and Omitted text help keep you organized
⋮ Includes Courier Prime, a beautiful typeface designed for screenplays
• THE POWER OF PLAIN
Slugline uses the free and open Fountain screenplay format, which is nothing more than plain text. You can work on your screenplay anywhere, using any writing app. When you open it in Slugline again, everything will be there, properly formatted.
• INTEGRATED OUTLINING
Start with an outline, then seamlessly transition to writing scenes. Or jot down a placeholder for your third-act twist while you’re still crafting your opening pages. Slugline allows you to be as structured as you like, even if that means not at all.
• WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
Slugline keeps getting better, and that's thanks to you! Slug us a line at http://slugline.co/contact with any questions or feedback you have, and follow us on Twitter at @SluglineApp.
What’s New
Version 1.7.1
We’re back! And we’ve made creating and saving files simpler and better.
You can now create and edit screenplays anywhere you like, using the connected accounts (iCloud, Dropbox, whatever) from your Files app. Local or cloud, it’s up to you — either way, Slugline keeps track of your recently-edited screenplays in one convenient place.
Ratings and Reviews
Gave me what I needed to finish a script!
I have slugline on mac, but my issue was commitment to a project. I would never find time to sit at my desktop and work. But now I won’t have to! Writing on my phone felt unconventional, but quickly allowed me to work whenever and wherever. I can say that I have enjoyed using the interface and previewing my script as I go, and have had no issues booting the app. If you’re a fast phone-typer then you will love this application for all your screenplay needs!
Excellent app!
Great app, it does everything I could wish for in a screenwriting app. I've tried all the apps available on iOS, and I think this is the best one, all the other ones are a buggy nightmare.
I see that this one has low ratings because people complain about bugs, but I think the developers might've fixed them in recent updates, because it's been working just fine for me.
So I figured this app deserves a good review and a good rating.
Thank you guys for building it! I really hope you keep improving and updating it, a good screenwriting app on an iPad would be extremely valuable, and you guys are quite a bit ahead of all the other alternatives.
Brilliant. Don’t use another screenwriting app
Update - still crashing every ten minutes (on iPhone X)
Fountain is the best, simplest, most cross-platform approach to screenwriting, and Slugline takes things to another level. It’s simple, minimal and lets you get in with thinking creatively.
All it’s missing, for me, is a means to rearrange scenes in the outline mode (essential!) and a search box in the documents picker.
Developer Response ,
Hi zennington,
Thanks for the kind words! We're very sorry for the crashing. We just posted an update (1.1.1) to fix exactly the kinds of issues you were experiencing, and so far we haven't had any crash reports from that version.
Please let us know through the support link above if you have any issues after updating!
