Everything you need to write, nothing you don't
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.

AI that understands your screenplay
Not a chat window glued to the side. Skills read your screenplay like an editor would — then propose changes you can accept or reject line by line.
Dialogue pass
Rewrites dialogue in a character's voice, maintaining consistency across scenes. Understands subtext, pacing, and emotional arc.
Continuity check
Scans your entire screenplay for logical inconsistencies — props that appear and disappear, timeline conflicts, character knowledge mismatches.
Character runner
Maps each character's arc across every scene. Tracks emotional states, relationships, and ensures consistent motivation and growth.
Setup & payoff tracker
Identifies planted setups and ensures they pay off. Flags dangling threads and suggests where payoffs might land naturally.
Period piece advisor
Cross-references dialogue, props, and cultural references against the time period. Catches anachronisms before your research assistant does.
Inline edit (Cmd+K)
Select any block and describe what you want. The AI rewrites it in place with changes you can accept or reject. No context switching.
Every skill 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
Version control built for writers
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.
Tab cycling
Action → Character → Parenthetical → Dialogue → Transition
Ghost text
Right Arrow to accept AI-suggested completions as you type
16 element types
Scene headings, characters, dual dialogue, notes, sections, and more
A screenplay editor that keeps up with you
Fountain-native editing with real-time parsing. Tab cycling between element types, auto-formatting, and ghost text suggestions. The editor understands screenplay structure — it's not just a monospace text box with formatting buttons.
From first draft to shooting script
Inkwell handles the full lifecycle — from initial concept through production-ready locked scripts with industry-standard revision colours.
Locked scripts
Lock your script when it enters production. Track all subsequent changes as revisions.
Revision colours
Industry-standard colour sequence: white, blue, pink, yellow, green, goldenrod, buff, salmon, cherry.
Export pipeline
Export to PDF (WGA formatting), FDX (Final Draft), and Fountain. Production-ready output.
Breakdown reports
Cast lists, scene breakdowns, and day-out-of-days generated from your screenplay structure.
