Screentype, the screenplay editor that tries to disappear
A screenwriting tool that formats pages as you type, builds a screenplay index, and offers analysis drawn from the script itself.
Field notes
The editor uses screenplay conventions as controls: lines beginning with INT. become scene headings, while Enter and Tab move through script elements. The homepage says its index extracts scenes, characters, locations, and dialogue relationships without a separate tagging pass. Its example compares Maya and Jon’s first and last lines, while the stated analysis checks voice similarity, scene turns, and early scene entrances. Final Draft and Fountain are described as supported in both directions.
