One place for the draft, the notes pass, and the export your producer asked for — without juggling three apps and a folder of “final” files.
At a glance
Write, structured
Industry formatting, tab cycles, ghost suggestions
AI for the next line — or the whole scene
Ghost text, Ask, Inline Edit, skills, and Agent Mode
Save points & draft lines
Named snapshots and parallel versions you control
Production-ready export
PDF and Final Draft when the room expects them
Inline edits and revision runs return changes inside the draft for review; analysis skills can return findings without rewriting the page.
Name a moment you may want back — table read, notes from a collaborator, before the rewrite.
A chat window on its own can only talk about your draft. Ghost text, Ask, inline edit, specialist skills, and Agent Mode all read your screenplay like an editor would and propose changes you accept or reject line by line.
Your goal
“Tighten the diner scene without losing the reveal.”
INT. DINER — LAST LIGHT
Maya explains why she came before the envelope appears.
The entrance repeats information the reveal already delivers.
Tighten the entrance
Maya tells him why she came. Then she reaches for the envelope.
Maya reaches inside her coat. He sees the envelope.
A wider goal can also call for
Now it checks whether the tighter scene still delivers the reveal.
Continue if the goal needs another pass
It checks the work before it keeps going.
Review Agent Mode’s changes on the markup rail. Accept or reject each change on your draft line; open the result draft line to inspect the whole result.
Choose the reach
Give a scene or act a revision goal. The agent reads, edits directly or revises broadly, can call specialist skills, checks the result, and asks when it needs your judgment.
Select a passage and describe what you want. Compare up to three alternatives in place, then accept or reject the word-level change.
Pause while drafting and a quiet continuation appears in context. Right Arrow accepts it; Escape sends it away.
Ask a grounded question about the draft, explore a craft judgment, or diagnose a scene without turning the conversation into an edit.
Bring in a specialist
Reviews dialogue against the character's voice across scenes and proposes line changes for subtext, pace, and consistency.
Checks your screenplay for logical inconsistencies — props that appear and disappear, timeline conflicts, character knowledge mismatches.
Maps a character's arc across the screenplay, tracking emotional states, relationships, motivation, and growth.
Tracks planted setups, flags dangling threads, and suggests where payoffs might land naturally.
Checks dialogue, props, and cultural references against the period, then flags anachronisms with alternatives to review.
Tests what scenes change, what disappears if they are cut, and where enter-late, leave-early, or double-duty revisions can earn pages back.
Every pass leaves you in control — accept, reject, or tweak each suggestion. Your draft stays versioned as you go.
Save point created
"Rewrote Maya's monologue in Act 3" — 2 minutes ago
Draft line: Alt ending
Exploring a different resolution for the third act
Changes from last save
+3 scenes modified, −1 scene removed, dialogue rewritten in 4 scenes
Save points freeze moments you care about — a table read, a producer pass, “before the big rewrite.” Draft lines let you try alternate endings or tones without losing the trunk. When something moves, you see what changed by scene and line, not a wall of red and green.
Measured per save, not differenced later
A collaborator growing the script doesn't inflate your day, and an import of 50,000 words isn't a 50,000-word writing day.
Revision days stay lit
Cut 2,000 words and the day reads as worked — a ring rather than a fill, so it survives without color perception.
Last spring stays as accurate as last week
Inkwell tidies old auto-saves away as a project grows. Your daily record isn't kept with them, so it doesn't thin out with them.
Each save records what you added, on the day you added it. The calendar turns that into a picture of the habit over months — and days you spent cutting still count, because revision is writing.
Every day you write becomes a day on the calendar.
Measured from what you typed, so an import or an AI pass never lights a day you didn't work.
Tab cycling
One key moves between element types as you write.
Ghost text
Right Arrow accepts the suggestion; Esc dismisses it.
Industry-standard elements
The editor knows a scene heading from a character cue. Tab cycles between element types, formatting happens as you type, and ghost text offers the next line when you want it.
More than synonyms
Synonyms and antonyms, words that mean something similar, and rhymes — with a frequency cue so you pick the word that fits, not just a different one.
Click to replace
Choose a word and it replaces the one under your cursor — emphasis, casing, and structure preserved.
Yours, and private
Your writing stays yours. Online enrichment is clearly labeled and can be switched off in Settings whenever you want.
A dictionary and thesaurus that opens beside your draft — not in another tab. Look a word up, weigh the options, and drop the best one in without breaking your formatting. The same lookup works whether you're drafting a scene in Plot or a chapter in Canvas.
Move from initial concept through a locked production draft with WGA revision tracking, A-page-aware pagination, and connected reading or production exports.
Lock your script when it enters production. Track all subsequent changes as revisions.
Industry-standard color sequence: white, blue, pink, yellow, green, goldenrod, buff, salmon, cherry, tan — repeating once it runs out.
Export WGA-compliant reading and production PDFs with revision pages and frozen A-page labels, import and export structured FDX (Final Draft), or keep a Fountain source file.
Cast lists, scene breakdowns, and day-out-of-days generated from your screenplay structure.
Every rewrite after a script locks goes out on colored paper, so the crew can see at a glance which version they're holding. Running that convention by hand is a coordinator's full-time job — watch Inkwell run it instead.
When a script goes into production, Inkwell locks the draft as the White production draft. Every rewrite after that lands as a colored revision pass — Blue, then Pink, through the industry-standard sequence — with revision marks in the margin beside changed lines. Locking a pass records its pages against a save point and starts the next color automatically; after Tan the cycle continues with Second Blue.
White — production draft locked · Blue pages locked → save point
