About this app

Designed for writers of film, TV, and online scripted projects, DubScript is an industry-strength, open-standard screenplay editor with pro features.

Read Final Draft (.fdx) or Fountain script formats and edit in plain-text. Then output your auto-formatted screenplay to print, PDF, and .fdx. Also edit plain text Markdown markup files (ending in .md).

Plain-text in. Screenplay out.

Create a new script and write naturally in the free-flowing plain-text editor -- without the "screenplay software formatting stuff" getting in your way. Don't break your writing flow to manually format or indent characters, slug lines, parentheticals, or action. Write uninterrupted-- scenes start with INT. or EXT, capitalize CHARACTER names, double-space between dialog.

In other words, make your screenplay look "screenplayish". The editor (900+ fonts available) helps with auto-suggestions as you go.

Save direct to your device's storage- no online connection required. Or save to Drive and other cloud services.

Finished? With a single swipe, DubScript does the hard formatting for you! Indentation, page breaks, CONT'Ds, page numbering, margins, and text styling appear like magic!

Now you have a proper screenplay. But before you output a PDF or export to .fdx, add a quick title page. It's just as easy to add scene numbers, side-by-side dialogue, centered text, notes, and page breaks.

"Open" is good. Vendor "lock in" isn't.

DubScript supports Fountain markup, a popular, open standard for writing scripts in plain-text. This means your screenplay file is fully-compatible with any old plain-text editor. To exchange with other apps, just copy and paste. Or hit the Share button to forward yourself (or your agent) a quick off-device backup via an email or messaging app.

Learn more about Fountain markup at https://fountain.io -- including compatible Fountain apps for Mac, iOS, Linux, and Windows.

Ratings and reviews

I like this app because it's allowing me to get on with actually writing. However, there seems to be a 'permissions error' every other time I try to save my work to Google Drive, which is very frustrating because I'm forced to save locally. I can't find any kind of support contact to help with this. Considering I paid to use the app I would have expected a more robust experience, and certainly a some easily accessible help.

Great app that works exactly as expected. Cheap to remove adds and as I've been using it non stop recently was happy to pay the 90p. Not had any issues, and there's a really useful help page to guide you if you're new. Really recommend if you want to write on the go. Additionally, I've been using it on a pixel fold with a Bluetooth keyboard and its been excellent on the inner screen.

Really helpful app. Few additions I would recommend to the devs. * Add page breaks * to easily add scene names and camera notes * Make it easier to create dialogue. So that it can auto detect its attempt when a character name is typed out. * A section where you can easily type out ideas or notes to be used later. But all in all, a very helpful tool.
