Int. Writers room - night
A WRITER stares at a blinking cursor. Tonight, the tool is on their side.
PlotThe screenwriter's IDE.
Write a screenplay online in a structured screenplay editor. Revise with AI you review before it lands, compare alternate draft lines, and carry named save points through to a locked shooting-script handoff.

One tool, the entire arc
Most screenwriting workflows hand off to a different tool at every stage. Plot collapses the chain — first draft, notes, alt-versions, lock, production — into a single editor.
Built for the room
Parallel takes, named save points, and changes you can read in note meetings.
The first draft of any long document is mostly an argument with yourself — deciding which thread is the real one.
Once the structure holds, prose moves faster. Constraints become the scaffolding you didn't know you needed.
Love the scaffolding metaphor. Should we open with this instead?
Built for the way screenwriters actually work
Plot keeps scenes, dialogue, and revisions connected, so you can compare drafts, review AI edits, and prepare a production handoff in the same workspace.
Working screenwriters
Feature, episodic, short-form. Structured revisions and two-way FDX without losing your room's draft history.
Writers' rooms
Draft lines for parallel takes, save points for table-read versions, real-time co-writing on the same scene.
Showrunners & EPs
Series-wide visibility — what changed in episode 4 between drafts, who touched what, and which decisions stuck.
All 16 elements, zero menus
Tab cycles through element types. Type INT. and you're in a scene heading. Forced elements when you need them. Industry formatting, real-time, with no "format" panel between you and the page.
- Tab to cycle: action → character → parenthetical → dialogue → transition
- Ghost text completions — Right Arrow to accept
- Live page count, scene count, and character word balance
- Smart type suggests character names and scene headings as you write
- Automatic scene numbering and live screenplay pagination
INT. COFFEE SHOP - MORNING
MAYA (30s) sits alone, laptop open — three empty cups, one story that refuses to land.
MAYA
What if the ending was the setup? — Inkwell ghost text suggests the end of the line as you type. Press Right Arrow to accept the suggestion, Escape to dismiss it.
Named save points and draft lines
Every version preserved, every change tracked — no folder of “final” files. Name the ones worth keeping and see exactly what changed. Save the table-read draft. Branch into an alt ending. Compare at the scene and line level, not character by character.
Save points
Named, immutable snapshots. Cmd+S anytime, or auto on table reads.
Draft lines
Parallel versions. Try the alt-ending; incorporate it if it works.
AI that reads your screenplay like an editor would
From the next phrase to a whole act: ghost text, Ask, inline edit, specialist skills, and Agent Mode. Each one reads your draft's structure and proposes changes you accept or reject one by one. All of it where the screenplay is, not in a separate window you paste between.

You decide what stays
At every level.
A few of the craft passes you can run inside Plot:
Dialogue pass
Rewrites a single character's voice end-to-end. Maintains consistency across scenes — subtext, cadence, vocabulary.
Use when: a character feels off after notes.
Continuity check
Scans the entire screenplay for logical breaks — props that vanish, time-of-day jumps, knowledge mismatches.
Use when: the next draft has to read clean.
Character runner
Maps each character's emotional arc across every scene. Surfaces the beats and the dead spots.
Use when: arc work feels guesswork.
Inline edit (Cmd+K)
Select any block — describe what you want. The AI rewrites it in place. Accept or reject line by line.
Use when: the line is close, not right.
You review the result — accept or reject inline edits and skill suggestions individually or all at once. Agent Mode works on a separate result draft until you decide what returns.
Explore AI for screenwritersFrom first draft to shooting script
Take the same structured screenplay from first lock through the WGA revision-color sequence, locked pagination, A-pages, omitted scenes, breakdown reports, and production-ready PDF or two-way FDX, including frozen A-page labels in the exported production PDF.
Locked scripts
Freeze the production baseline, then track each numbered revision without losing the page and scene references the room already uses.
WGA-compliant screenplay format
PDF in WGA-compliant screenplay format, plus two-way FDX (Final Draft) and native Fountain.
Breakdown reports
Cast lists, scene breakdowns, day-out-of-days — derived from your script, not re-entered.
Screenplay submission preflight
Review printable structure, title-page details, blank screenplay elements, and production-only apparatus before export. Choose whether the visible title page and PDF file properties belong in an anonymous or privacy-sensitive delivery.
Open submission preflightPlays nice with the room
Plot reads and writes the formats your collaborators already use. No more 'can you export to FDX?' email threads.
Start writing in Plot
Create a project, write a scene, run Agent Mode, export a PDF or FDX, or bring a Final Draft file over.
Start writing in Plot from a blank page, a starter template, a Final Draft or Fountain script, or a Word document, and find it again on the projects page.
