The Writers’ Room

One room. The whole production.

The Room, the Script editor, the Character Codex, and the Insights suite live in one workspace with a single switcher between them — collapsible rails, a focused center stage, and your project’s signature accent throughout.

Room, Script, Codex & Insights — four surfaces, one clean design.
Live story stats — words, pages, scenes, runtime, draft progress, and a dialogue-vs-action breakdown, updating as you write.
You decide — every AI suggestion is yours to accept, edit, or reject.

A real screenplay editor

Industry-standard pages, automatically.

Write in proper screenplay format without fighting tab stops. Scene headings, action, character, dialogue, parentheticals, and transitions fall into place — cycle elements with Enter and Tab, or jump straight to one with ⌘1–7.

FDX-compliant & Fountain-compatible — true industry formatting, set in a monospace screenplay typeface.
Page count that matches export — what you see while writing is what prints, down to the page.
Full-script view — read straight through and edit anywhere; classic screenplay-paper mode optional.

Placeholder — element-aware editor

Cue — your in-editor partner

A writing partner that reads the page you’re on.

Cue is an agent rail beside the script. Chat with it about the block you’re writing — ask it to tighten, rewrite, punch up dialogue, or find the weak beat — and review staged suggestions you accept or dismiss.

Apply in place — accept a rewrite from the rail without leaving the editor.
Always reversible — every change is backed up to revision history.
Ambient Cue — on Mac, an on-device watcher drops a one-line note when you pause, never touching your script. Off by default.

Coverage & notes

Studio-grade coverage, on demand.

Run professional coverage when you want a read — a 25-point grid across premise, structure, character, and dialogue, scored against real industry base rates, not a curve.

The real verdict ladder — Recommend, Strong Consider, Consider, Consider with Reservations, Low Consider, Pass.
Every score shows its receipts — each grade is backed by a quoted line or scene from your draft.
A professional PDF — executive summary, strengths, development notes, comparables, and a per-block breakdown.

Placeholder — coverage report

Twelve ways to read your whole draft.

Coverage

25-point professional read with an industry verdict.

Tension Curve

Where the story grips and where it sags, scene by scene.

Plant & Payoff

Every setup tracked to its payoff — and the loose ends.

Causality Audit

Scenes that follow because-of, not just and-then.

Suggested Cuts

Pacing-driven trims to tighten the draft.

Emotional Map

The feeling of the piece, charted across its length.

Motif & Imagery

Recurring images and symbols, surfaced and traced.

Character Arc

How each character changes from page one to the end.

Continuity & Logic

Timeline, props, and world-rule slips before a reader finds them.

Budget & Feasibility

Cost and production signals read from the page.

Comparables

The titles your script sits beside in the market.

Format Doctor

Formatting and screen-language fixes, end to end.

Everything a draft needs around it.

Agent ModemacOS

Rewrite many blocks at once

Give a plain-language command, set Skill Profiles the AI must follow, then review every change in a visual diff and accept or reject per block.

Character CodexWeb & macOS

Characters with depth

Identity, psychology, distinct voice, and relationships for every character — plus screen-time analysis and optional AI portraits.

Script toolsWeb & macOS

Doctor, Polish & Refine

Script Doctor (quick or deep scan), Screenplay Polish, Subtext and Voice passes, Deep Callbacks, and a focused logline editor.

GenerateWeb & macOS

Draft in the background

Hand a new project to the AI and keep working — it drafts on a shelf card, shows each phase, and even survives a reload.

ImportWeb & macOS

Bring a draft in

Import Final Draft (FDX), Fountain, Fade In, PDF, or an Ideate backup — with live per-step progress.

Series & franchisesWeb & macOS

Beyond the feature

Keep a whole world in one place — features, TV / web / micro series, episodes, and franchises — with characters and canon carried across.

Sync & sharingWeb & macOS

Your work, everywhere

Export & backupWeb & macOS

Never trapped

Export to Fountain, Final Draft, and PDF — or pack everything into one zip. Encrypted backups open offline.

ThemesWeb & macOS

A room you want to sit in

Pair a favorite dark and light theme; the toggle flips between them, or follows your Mac’s appearance.

On-device · macOS

A private writing studio that lives on your Mac.

On Apple silicon, Ideate runs Google’s on-device Gemma models locally through a Metal-accelerated engine. Your script, characters, and notes never leave your machine — and it costs nothing to run.

Sized to your Mac — the strongest Gemma model that fits your memory.
Works offline — keep writing on a plane, on set, anywhere.
Free, always — on-device generation never spends cloud credits.
Bring your own model — load any GGUF; Ideate benchmarks it.
