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.}

This is a great app and has proved invaluable for scripting a graphic novel I’m producing. However, there is one niggle I must mention—that is, the keyboard toolbar just randomly disappears for no apparent reason, meaning I have to close and reopen the app or go into the settings and switch it off and on again to get it back. I use the shortcuts on the toolbar often so it’s a bit of a pain having to go through this process several times a session. Maybe a bug fix is needed. Otherwise, I’m loving it.

When I try to write than the letters get separated from the word like letter - let ter and it continues to write with an overflow and the whole screenplay is messed up. I pay for this app to get a good platform but instead it wants to drive me nuts

So happy for the update! My other “professional” screenwriting iOS/OS apps are falling apart, suffering from compatibility issues, and formatting errors. Slugline hits the mark as it’s stable, provides cross compatibility, and keeps to format. Thanks again. Fade Out

Great screenwriting app over the years, but now there seems to be a problem with the keyboard tool. It would disappear which would force the screen not to move with what you’re typing. Other than that, still great.

I have no idea if I am just inept or this app is completely broken, and there is no way to tell as the slug line web page doesn’t exist any more. Do not waste your money

The app crashes every time I try to start a new project.

Read raving reviews. Tried it for $19+ and it’s terrible. Not intuitive. Trying to hit return to get into the next correctly formatted section required backtracking. Not a seamless writing experience and I’ve been writing screenplays for a long time and have used almost all the mainstream software.

I love Slugline more than other fountain apps, because of its very well designed interface. For 5 stars I‘d need A4 support on the iPad and those nice marker colors from the mac app.

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.

This is a big update for Slugline Mobile, focused on improving the way that saving screenplays outside of Slugline works. ⋮ We replaced the non-local storage options with a single “Files” location. Through Files, you can access your iCloud or Dropbox or your other favorite storage locations. (We had to clear your Recent Screenplays list to do this, but your files are all still where you saved them.) ⋮ You now get to choose a default location where new screenplays are created (in Slugline, or in iCloud), and you can switch that in Setup whenever you want. ⋮ We built the first VisionOS native version, because we wanted to be there for you, wherever and however you want to write. Let us know what your experience is like, because we’re curious how you like writing on the moon.
