Slate Scripts — screenwriting Git style
Git-style drafts for screenwriters. No AI, local & cloud.
Version a rewrite, compare it word-by-word, merge what works, lose what doesn't. Scripts live on your Mac as plain text — no accounts, no telemetry, no AI. The tool is there to help you do your best work and collaborate with others to make something amazing. You own everything and nothing lives on the cloud, unless you want it to) Import from your other writing tool (Final Draft, Celtix, etc) $79/yr after a 30-day free trial, no credit card needed. Cancel anytime.
Finally a screenwriting tool that treats drafts like code without forcing me into a cloud account. The word-level diff is genuinely useful for catching where I trimmed a line too far.
Love the Git-style diff approach for screenplays, that's genuinely useful. One thing that would make it a no-brainer for me: a way to export directly to PDF with industry-standard formatting. Most contests and producers still want PDFs, and bouncing the file out to another tool kinda breaks the flow you've built so well.
finally a screenwriting tool that treats your work like yours. the git-style diffing for drafts is genuinely clever and the local-first approach feels right for anyone who actually cares about their scripts not living on someone else's server
Would love to see a dark mode option since I often write at night and the current interface is pretty bright on the eyes. Also a keyboard shortcut to quickly toggle between the current draft and a side-by-side comparison view would speed up my editing flow massively.
Versioning screenplays like code is such a no-brainer, glad someone finally built this. One thing I'd love to see is a dedicated conflict view when two branches diverge hard on dialogue, so you can pick line by line instead of scrolling through massive diffs. Would make merge sessions with my writing partner way less painful.
