Professional screenplay editor with automatic formatting. Scene breakdowns, shot lists, scheduling, budget tracking, and real-time collaboration — every tool in one place. No payment required.
Most modern screenwriting software locks your words behind restrictive paywalls, recurring monthly subscriptions, or proprietary file formats. We believe the tools to tell stories should be universally accessible. Screenplay Studio was built from a simple premise: a writer needs focus, collaborative speed, and absolute ownership of their files.
This software is, and will always remain, completely free and open-source. There are no limits on script counts, no restricted export formats, and no paywalls on basic creation. We sustain development entirely through voluntary community support and professional hosting services. You focus on the page; we will keep the platform open.
13 integrated tools covering every stage of film production — from first draft to final wrap. No switching between apps. No exporting between tools. Everything lives in one place.
13 tools · Oslo · 2026Built and maintained by one developer at Northem Development in Norway — no team, no VC funding, no enterprise roadmap. The tool gets better when people use it and say what is broken.
