Hey everyone I am a professional screenplay writer from Tamil film industry I was using Beat on Mac for many years When I moved to Linux nothing replaced it for me I tried lot of options on Windows and Linux but there was no good Fountain editor So I decided to build one for myself Its called ActOne Screenplay

This is fully free and open source There is no money involved at all Its my passion project I made it for my own use and now I am sharing it I built it very light Even 500 page scripts stay fluid and it works on low RAM systems also Even small systems can run it easy

You just write in Fountain and it will format everything automatically You can keep your screenplay and also your treatments beat sheets and character notes all inside one project It gives proper PDF that matches industry pagination and you can also export to Fountain Final Draft and Fade In if you need to share You get structure templates like Save the Cat and Heros Journey to start quickly You can see outline with scene cards synopsis and storylines and drag scenes to reorder You get markers and scene colors plus character profiles You get snapshots to save versions Find and replace is there Typewriter mode and zen mode is there for focus Ghost text will suggest character and location names while you type Spellcheck is there and it understands screenplay format It officially supports English and all Indian languages like Tamil Telugu Hindi Kannada Malayalam Bengali Gujarati Punjabi and Odia Other languages also works and I will make them official after I get feedback

It also have translation and rephrasing inside If you want you can connect your local LLM or API and use it I made it because I write in English and need to translate to other languages sometime If you dont need it it will never disturb you

You can get it on Windows Store for windows For linux I have hosted a setup script Some older distros have dependency issues So I am planning to make AppImage version in next update Stay tuned for that If you are writing you can try it at iyal dot ink and on github just search ActOne Screenplay Would love to know what you think and what is not working for you Thanks for reading.

I am just worried about TN's future. But couldn't care less and laugh for this tweet. 😂🤡

I used to work in the film industry as an assistant director and writer, and over time I completely fell in love with writing in Fountain plain text. But as a daily Linux user, it was driving me crazy. Mac users get all these beautiful dedicated apps like Highland and Beat, while the rest of us are stuck using clunky browser tools or bulky code editors.

So I decided to build the tool I actually wanted to use. It is called ActOne Screenplay. It is a completely free, offline desktop app for Windows and Linux. It runs super fast directly on your machine and never forces you into the cloud.

Here is what is in the beta so far:

Fluid editing: Your script formats instantly as you type, and it gives you smart ghost text suggestions for characters and locations.

Organized workspaces: You can keep all your scripts, notes, and checklists together in one local folder.

Outline navigator: A simple side panel lets you map out scenes, color code sections, and visually track your story arcs.

Local snapshots: It automatically saves past versions in the background. If you delete something and want it back days later, you can easily restore it.

Analytics: Visual charts that break down your dialogue to action ratios and show character interactions.

Private AI assistant: If you want a brainstorming partner, you can either connect your own APIs or look up your local Ollama model to keep everything 100 percent private and in your control.

Clean exports: It spits out perfectly formatted PDFs with smart scene numbers, and exports flawlessly straight into Final Draft FDX format.

You can grab the download and read the docs at https://ActOne.iyal.ink/

I would absolutely love your feedback to help make this the best tool for those of us not using Macs. Come hang out, request features, or report bugs in the Discord here: https://discord.gg/6CfVTQtq2w
