Features

• Film and web series projects — one .screenplay file holds either a single screenplay or an entire series with multiple episodes
• Hollywood single-column and Indian two-column PDF export with auto-generated title pages (smart "Written and Directed by" credits)
• Fountain and plain-text export for interoperability
• Malayalam input — Mozhi, Inscript 1, and Inscript 2 schemes; Ctrl+Space toggles English/Malayalam mid-line
• Mixed-script writing — Malayalam and English in the same document
• ⌘K Command palette — fuzzy-search every command and scene heading
• Scene Navigator — click-to-jump, auto-numbering, drag-to-reorder, INT/EXT/DAY/NIGHT signals
• Outline Peek — bottom strip showing scene context as you write
• Story panel + full-screen Story Mode — idea, synopsis, treatment, narrative
• Scene Cards — per-scene shoot-planning grid with auto-detected characters
• Find & replace, statistics (page/scene/word/dialogue counts), character autocomplete
• Bundled fonts — Manjari (default), Noto Sans Malayalam, Courier Prime
• Warm Kerala-rooted theme — dark and light modes
• Fully offline — no cloud, no telemetry, no subscription, no account
