Conceptualize with a writer/director. Write line-by-line together. Runs entirely on your machine. No cloud. No subscription. No compromise.
From concept to finished draft — ScreenBuddy stays with you through both phases of the writing process, with the same curated roster of writers and directors.
Chat with a writer/director buddy to develop premise, theme, characters, structure, and tone. The buddy as brainstorm partner — before a single line of script is written.
You type a line. The buddy continues. Turn-taking, line-by-line, in proper screenplay format. Your script builds in real time — every exchange is a collaboration.
A focused, dark writing environment. The screenplay is the primary view. Everything else steps back.
One curated roster serves both modes. Each buddy brings a distinct voice, a distinct philosophy, a distinct way of seeing story.
Built for writers who want to write — not configure software.
Save, rename, duplicate, and open projects. List sorted by last opened. Draft safety — unsaved progress is never lost.
Fountain, .txt, PDF, FDX, DOCX, Markdown. Optional title page on PDF and DOCX. Cmd/Ctrl+E for instant Fountain export.
Import .fountain or .txt to continue an existing script. Copy/paste full script from clipboard. Never start from zero.
Open from the header for intent assessment and writer recommendations. Helps you pick the right buddy before you start.
All scene headings listed with jump-to-line. Instantly navigate a long script without losing your place.
Runs on Ollama. PM2 keeps it in the background. iPad on the same WiFi. Nothing leaves your machine. Ever.
No subscription. No cloud. No recurring cost. Pay once; ScreenBuddy is permanently yours.
ScreenBuddy meets you wherever you are in the writing process — and whoever you are as a writer.
You have pages. You're stuck in Act Two. Import your existing script, pick a buddy, and write through the block line by line. Wilder won't let you stay stuck.
You know the feeling but not the story. Start in Conceptualize — describe the image, the world, the tone. Your buddy helps you find the premise before you write a single scene heading.
No writers' room. No collaborator in the same timezone. ScreenBuddy is the room. Brainstorm, argue structure, write together — entirely on your machine, at any hour.
Learning screenplay format while you write. Your buddy responds in proper form — scene headings, action lines, dialogue. You absorb the format by co-writing it, not studying it.
Developing a pilot or episode structure. Use Conceptualize to map the arc, build the characters, define the tone. Export the concept, take it into the writers' room with something solid.
Your story is yours. No cloud means no server logs, no training on your work, no data that leaves the room. ScreenBuddy runs on your machine. Your words stay with you.
