Fadewell: Format in one clickFadewell: Keyboard composerFadewell: Scene list with pagesFadewell: Title page

Fadewell turns a Google Doc into a screenplay, in the format producers, contests and film schools expect, and keeps it that way as you write.

Type the plain way: a scene heading that starts with INT. or EXT., a name in capitals, the dialogue under it. Press Format script once and every line gets the right element: scene heading, action, character, parenthetical, dialogue, transition. Courier 12, the 1.5" left margin, the standard indents. Press it again after a week of rewrites and it picks up every change and gives the same result each time, so it never "forgets" lines you added later.

What you get

  • Industry-standard screenplay format in Google Docs: scene headings, action, character, parenthetical, dialogue, transitions, centered text, lyrics
  • Live formatting while you type, plus keyboard element switching (Alt+1 to Alt+8, an Enter/Tab composer, Docs menu search)
  • Format again any time: edits are always picked up and the result is the same every run
  • Dual dialogue side by side, title page, scene list with page numbers
  • PDF laid out like screenwriting software: Courier 12, correct margins, page numbers, (MORE) and (CONT'D), optional scene numbers
  • Fountain and Final Draft (.fdx) import and export
  • Touches only the Doc you open it in; exports are built in your browser
