XLScreenplay is a dedicated screenwriting environment with full Final Draft keyboard parity. Import your existing library in seconds, write with Tab and Enter exactly where your fingers expect them, and export back out whenever you want. Nothing here locks you in.
No credit card surprises. Cancel anytime. One login works across all of Xandland.
Every feature here exists because a working screenwriter asked for it.
Tab and Enter behave exactly as they do in Final Draft. Sit down and type a correctly formatted script without reading a manual.
Real page breaks, computed the same way Final Draft paginates — the page count on screen is the page count on paper.
Jump between scenes, number them, highlight one character’s lines across the whole draft, or dim everything but the line you’re writing.
Character names autocomplete from the first letter, ordered by who spoke most recently. (CONT’D) and (MORE) are handled for you.
Nothing here rewrites what your characters say. Not automatically, not quietly — ever. Stumbles and fragments are the character’s voice.
Every keystroke is journaled locally as you write. Close the tab, lose power, come back — nothing is gone.
Voice dictation that understands screenplay grammar is in active development: say “interior, diner, night” and get a correctly formatted slugline, speak a character’s name and go straight into their dialogue. Speech recognition will run entirely on your own machine — your audio never leaves it.
Not ready yet, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Everything above works today; voice arrives as a free update while you’re a member.
Final Draft is where most working screenwriters already are. XLScreenplay reads it and writes it.
Drop in an existing Final Draft script and start writing immediately — scene headings, cast list, dual dialogue and title page all come across, and anything that couldn’t be carried over is named plainly rather than dropped silently.
Send a finished draft back out as a Final Draft (.fdx) file, plain-text Fountain, or a selectable-text, industry-formatted PDF with a proper title page. Your script is never stuck here.
Every plan starts with a free 7-day trial — no card declined mid-scene.
