Scriptopus Free

The Whole Writing Workspace.
Free, on Your Own Computer.

Scriptopus Free is the desktop app used without an account. No subscription, no connection: your scripts live in an encrypted store on your computer and never leave it.

  • A screenplay editor with industry formatting built in.
  • Beat Board, Treatment and Story Canvas, all feeding the same project.
  • Characters, locations, notes and tasks beside the pages.
  • Export to PDF, Final Draft and Fountain, and keep local backups.
  • AI, sync and sharing need a connection, so they belong to Writer and Pro.

It is the same download as the paid plans. Sign in and the app becomes your Writer or Pro workspace, with sync and AI. Skip the sign-in and it stays Free.

Download the desktop app

We email you the download link. Sign in for your plan, or choose “Use Scriptopus offline on this computer” for Free. The Windows version is nearly here: choose Windows PC to get it the day it lands.

Used without an account, Scriptopus never connects to the internet, so email is also how we tell you when a new version is out. You can unsubscribe from any email. How we handle your address

The Editor

An Editor That Is Aware

Formatting snaps to industry standard as you type. That part is a given. The difference is that this editor reads the story as you write it: it knows who your characters are, where a scene happens, and what came before.

app.scriptopus.com
The Scriptopus writing surface: an industry-formatted screenplay editor with the character, location and file lists and saved reports in the side rail, and the in-context AI chat giving notes on the scene beside the page.
01

It knows your characters

The cast list builds itself from your pages. Every character is one click away.

02

It knows your places

Every location the script visits, collected from your sluglines automatically.

03

It remembers what happened

Continuity checks read every scene, returning timeline, character and plot-logic notes with line numbers.

04

It has read the whole thing

The chat beside the page knows your script, synopsis, beats and treatment. Ask anything.

02

Everything You Need.
All in One Connected Workspace.

Stop juggling a dozen apps and scattered files. Keep your entire process in one place, from the first spark of an idea to the finished pitch.

A Workflow Built for Story Development

Every step connects to the next. Move freely between ideas, structure and script. Nothing has to be re-entered along the way.

Idea

Capture ideas, loglines and concepts

Synopsis

Shape your story foundation

Beat Board

Map your story visually

Treatment

Develop your story in depth

Script

Write your screenplay

Pitch Package

Create professional pitch materials

One story. Everything connected. AI that understands the big picture.

04

AI That Thinks Like a Dramaturg

Scriptopus analyzes your story, questions it, and pushes back. That is what makes the difference to a scene, not another draft written for you.

The Authorship Boundary

Scriptopus helps you develop, analyze and manage your story. It never writes your screenplay for you.

  • It reads your script, questions it, and shows you what a first-time audience will follow.
  • It handles the work around the writing: research, analysis, reports, pitch materials.
  • No rewrite, shorten or polish button anywhere on your pages. No autocomplete.
  • Nothing is ever typed into your screenplay. Not one line.

Understand structure

See how your story holds up across every act.

Read it like a reader

See what a first-time audience will and won't follow.

Spot blind spots

Uncover plot holes and continuity gaps you missed.

Challenge assumptions

Question and strengthen your choices.

Strengthen progression

Make every beat earn its place.

A Script Diagnostic report for a sample screenplay: a blinded read of the whole script that maps eight craft areas as Distinctive, Strong, Developing or Focus Area, names the habits the script repeats, and ends with a short list of development priorities.

05

Visualize. Organize. Connect.

Powerful visual tools that hold the big picture and the small details at once.

The Story Canvas: a three-act structure pinned to a minutes timeline down the left, beside a map of the screenplay's characters, theme, central conflict, key events, ideas and open questions, joined by labelled relationships.

Characters, conflicts, ideas and events, mapped as connected nodes against your structure framework.

See connections at a glance

Every node knows how it relates to the rest of the story.

Reorder, regroup, restructure

Drag beats and scenes until the shape feels right.

One project, not five files

Characters, locations and notes are shared by every stage. When beats and synopsis drift apart, Auto-Harmonize drafts the update for you to approve.

Still Growing

The workspace keeps gaining tools. These four landed most recently, and all are live today.

Table Read

Hear your script performed, every character cast to its own AI voice, line by line, in your script's language.

Script Diagnostic

A blinded read of the whole script: eight craft areas mapped, the habits your pages repeat, and at most three development priorities.

Series Reports

For series, Scriptopus keeps episodes connected to the larger story: season arcs, recurring characters, open questions, payoffs and continuity across every episode.

Share for Feedback

Send any surface to readers with no account. Their comments and suggested edits come back for you to accept or reject.

06

Built Around How Writers Actually Work

Real creative process is rarely a straight line. Scriptopus is built for the way it really goes.

Messy

Stories rarely start with page one. Capture ideas anywhere, and nothing gets lost.

Nonlinear

Jump between ideas, beats, scenes and structure. Work in whatever order serves the story.

Iterative

Develop, rethink, refine, evolve. Great stories aren't written. They're rewritten.

Capture As You Go

Ideas Don't Wait
for Your Desk.

Capture ideas the moment they happen, add notes directly into any active project, and keep everything synced with your main Scriptopus workspace.

Capture on your phone. Build in your workspace. Everything stays connected.

We know how writers think.

Plans

Three Plans.
One Workspace.

Both paid plans include every feature, teams included, and both work in the browser and in the desktop app on one account. The only difference is how much AI you can use, which we count in Ink. Free is the desktop app without an account.

While we are in beta

Everything here is free to use today. These are the prices for when the beta ends, and every member will hear from us well before that happens. Nothing will start charging you by surprise. Once plans begin, every new member gets their first two months of Writer free.

Free

What is Ink?

Ink is how we count AI use. A quick question takes a little and a full-script report takes more. Dictation and formatting use none.

A busy month?

Add extra Ink from $5 whenever you need it. It never expires, and it is only touched once your monthly Ink is gone.

When Ink runs out

AI pauses until the month renews or you add more. Writing never stops, and nothing in your project is locked.

Join the future of storytelling.

Free while in beta. No credit card, nothing to install. From the first spark of an idea to the finished pitch.
