The modern, collaborative alternative to Final Draft.
Final Draft built the standard for desktop screenwriting. Scripto brings that professional craft into the cloud — with real-time collaboration, modern production features, and a single source of truth trusted by world-class and Emmy-winning writers and production teams working in Narrative Scripted Film/TV, Video Games, Corporate Video, Award Shows, Live Events, and Scripted Creator/Podcast Content.
Built for teams
Final Draft was designed in another era for one writer on one computer. Scripto lets your whole team work together in real-time – whether around the table or around the world – no more emailing drafts and notes or merging versions by hand.
Your scripts live in the cloud
No more “Final_FINAL_v2.fdx.” Every keystroke is saved and every draft is versioned, searchable, and backed up automatically, so you always have access to the latest version, or any version you need.
Switching is painless
Import your existing .fdx files in seconds and export back to .fdx, Fountain, or PDF anytime. Bring your library over and start writing in a modern application.
