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 - I only ever want to type the name Jeff once. So 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-compete it.

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

$15 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. (Newly uploaded GIFs seem to be broken on itch right now, working on a new solution to show functionality)

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 (Mac version if I can afford the $100 annual fee required). Followed by adding a feature on the side of the editor to quickly jump around to different scene headings with a click. But 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.
