Screenplay Assistant is a writing app that converts plain prose or dictated scenes into screenplay pages in a browser. It can arrange material into scene headings, action, character cues, dialogue, parentheticals, and transitions. Writers can choose Format Only to preserve their text, Creative Polish for line edits, or Script Doctor to add action and imagery without introducing events, characters, or conversations. Story Map supports planning, Story Lab offers craft guidance, Muse acts as a first reader, and Atticus provides in-app help. The app imports plain text, PDF, Word, and Final Draft files, and exports PDF, Final Draft, Word, or plain text. Additional tools include character portraits, design sheets, storyboards, graphic novel pages, scene video, Table Read, and production reports. Writing is not capped on any plan, though project and media allowances vary. Spark is free and includes one project. Writer costs 7.00 USD per month, or $5 a month billed yearly ($60 a year). The app is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows.
