Logline
A downloadable software for Windows, macOS, and Linux
IF YOU ARE A LINUX USER, please message me I would love to send you a free copy to test the Linux version!
I was burned one too many times by the juggernaut of screenwriting software. From losing my product key, to only getting to install on 2 computers, to a new version every year, to being prohibitively priced. I tried alternatives but all the best ones are pivoting to subscription models.
That's when I thought, why not make my own. Simple. Intuitive. One time purchase. This is Logline.
Essential Features
Auto Formatting - I want the software to never get in the way of your flow. So Scene Headings flow directly into Action, Character Name flows directly into Dialogue. Enter is the key. Hit it twice and an element selection menu appears allowing you to quickly switch to another element.
Auto Name Completion - You should only ever have to type the name Jeff once. Logline stores all your character names so that as soon as you start typing their name again, you can hit enter or tab to auto-complete it.
Table of Contents - Shows you all of your scene headings, hover over to get a quick preview or click to move to that scene.
PDF Export - 1st draft or final draft, you can edit the title page and export to PDF.
FDX Foundation
FDX files are the industry standard so why come up with my own random file type? Logline creates, opens, and saves FDX files.
Priced for the Rest of Us
$10 (or whatever you pay!) gets you all future updates. No Logline 2. No Logline Pro. No pivot to monthly subscriptions. It's yours.
One Time Purchase, No DRM
I don't want you to be digging through your emails trying to find a product key 5 years from now when you try to install this on a new computer. Just download it. Share it! If whoever you share it with likes it enough maybe they can buy a copy too.
Custom Themes
I wanted Logline to have your standard cookie theme options but also some weird ones. Picking themes was a lot of fun so more to come.
Community Feedback Shapes Development
What features do you want? What don't you like about how it currently stands? This is my first piece of software and I am very open to any and all feedback. I was thinking about developing a Linux version next . If there are more interesting features you all want then let me know!
Accessibility
I did my best to make sure that I had accessibility options so anyone can use it. The backend has been written so that screen readers function. Font size can be adjusted and there's also a high contrast mode. If there's an accessibility feature you need, let me know!
No Shoe-Horned AI
C'mon.
Disclaimer
I cannot afford to have this app officially signed by Microsoft so Windows may say that the app can’t be trusted. I promise I’m not doing anything nefarious other than being poor lol.
