Write Screenplays on iPad
The iPad is the device where a rewrite pass actually happens: a real keyboard, enough width for a full page of Courier, and Split View so your notes stay on screen. Zen Writer is built to hold a 120-page draft in that shape without fighting you.
Free on the App Store. One screenplay included, no account needed.
Why writers use Zen Writer on iPad
A page of screenplay at full width
On an iPad you can read a scene the way a reader will. Formatting, indents and page breaks are the industry standard, so what looks right here looks right in a PDF.
Split View with your notes
Keep a beat sheet, a treatment or a set of script notes open beside the draft in Split View or Stage Manager, and apply a note without leaving the page you are fixing.
Open the FDX, fix it, send it back
Import a Final Draft .fdx or a Fountain file, revise it, and export the same format back. FDX import and export are both first-class, not a one-way conversion.
Version history for the scary edits
Browse and restore earlier versions of the script, so a structural rewrite is reversible. Pro includes the full edit history.
